Climate literacy 
and information provided through climate services and community 
approaches, including those that are informed by Indigenous Knowledge 
and local knowledge, can accelerate behavioural changes and planning 
(high conﬁdence). Educational and information programmes, using 
the arts, participatory modelling and citizen science can facilitate 
awareness, heighten risk perception, and inﬂuence behaviours (high 
conﬁdence). The way choices are presented can enable adoption of low 
GHG intensive socio-cultural options, such as shifts to balanced, sustainable 
healthy diets, reduced food waste, and active mobility (high conﬁdence). 
Judicious labelling, framing, and communication of social norms can 
increase the effect of mandates, subsidies, or taxes (medium conﬁdence).

A range of adaptation options, such as disaster risk management, 
early warning systems, climate services and risk spreading and 
sharing approaches, have broad applicability across sectors 
and provide greater risk reduction beneﬁts when combined 
(high conﬁdence). Climate services that are demand-driven and 
inclusive of different users and providers can improve agricultural 
practices, inform better water use and efﬁciency, and enable resilient 
infrastructure planning (high conﬁdence). Policy mixes that include 
weather and health insurance, social protection and adaptive safety 
nets, contingent ﬁnance and reserve funds, and universal access to 
early warning systems combined with effective contingency plans, can 
reduce vulnerability and exposure of human systems (high conﬁdence). 
Integrating climate adaptation into social protection programs, 
including cash transfers and public works programs, is highly feasible 
and increases resilience to climate change, especially when supported 
by basic services and infrastructure (high conﬁdence).
