The manuscript identifies and addresses a gap between generic frameworks for Climate Change Adaptation, and conversion of those generic frameworks to provide situationspecific tools that can be tailored to particular situations, by developing a set of general principles to provide guidance for the efficient, robust development of new situationspecific adaptation strategies. We provide a number of tools to help the process such as an example 'adaptation checklist' that can serve as a guide to ensure all critical components are covered during the development of an adaptation strategy. We believe this work will be of interest to a broad spectrum of your readers because it provides guidance in the development of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies that will be relevant to planners, managers and practitioners at all levels.
