- Ecosystems and natural resources;
- Livelihoods;
- Institutional capacities.
Next to the 2050 Strategy, a 2025 Action Plan is proposed to achieve these goals.
66 (short term) adaptation measures are established, inter alia considering the following key issues:
- Research and development;
- Technology transfer;
- Information systems;
- Climate insurances;
- Resilient infrastructure;
- Promotion of good farming practices;
- Strengthening farmer's networks and organisations; and
