“…One significant example of the problems faced here is the planned reduction of the size of Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) from their current 15 ha. This became necessary because in some countries, e.g., Romania, the average farm size is below 15 ha, a fact that exempts them from the intended incentive and therefore renders the EFA conditionality inefficient (Wiréhn, 2017;Zinngrebe et al, 2017). Although protection is still a good measure, the EU-Nature restoration plan advocates restoration as being the most plausible way to align the interests of agriculture with the preservation of nature (EC, 2020b).…”

Multidimensional assessment of European agricultural sector adaptation to climate changeThe agricultural sector and how it relates to climate change is today emerging as a central subject of debate and critique, because it is heavily impacted by, and at the same time, a primary contributor to, climate change. The intertwined, complex relationship between the sector and climate change is among the unprecedented challenges now facing the European Union (EU). The complexity of the relationship calls for the establishment of a sustainable, future climate-proof, adapted and resilient sector with strong adaptive capacity. This paper argues that over the past decades, strong emphasis has been placed on how to mitigate the negative effects of climate change across the sector, causing it to fall behind in terms of adaptation. Although adaptation is now part of the sector's development agenda, sectoral adaptation performance across member states remains low. In order to justify an accelerated adaptation process across the sector, the paper develops a Relative Climate Change Adaption Index (RCCAI) for the sector based on Eurostat data. The analysis shows that there is no single member state across the EU whose agricultural sector can be considered as fully climate-adapted (resilient), and thus validates the hypothesis that adaption efforts must be stepped up across the sector. To ensure continued sectoral adaptive capacity improvement, the paper recommends coherent integration and accelerated implementation of adaptation practices and policies alongside the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the sake of both private and public interests.

households belonged to the highly, moderately, or low vulnerability groups, 24 suggesting a range of affected communities within the sample, some of whom 25 had the ability to cope with its short-term impacts. However, the estimated social 26 vulnerability index revealed significant geographical heterogeneity, with 27 communities along the Mekong branch being more vulnerable than those along 28 the Bassac. The recommendations from our investigations include the 29 establishment of community awareness programs, as well as policy changes that 30 ensure and support local residents' livelihoods adaptation. Stakeholder 31 participation and enhanced community engagement was found to be the most 32 important tools available in terms of aiding local people cope with the complex 33 impacts of riverbank erosion.
