The National Climate Adaptation Plan is divided into three parts to ensure clear and targeted outcomes, which can be put into action easily by policy-makers, businesses and the wider society. These three parts are:

1. identifying climate trends and assess their impacts on
   • food
   • natural ecosystems
   • business and wealth
   • health
   • water management
   • tourism
   • trade and logistics
   • electricity and energy
   • infrastructure
2. identifying impacts that demand urgent action; impact include:
   • increased demand on water and electricity due to increased temperature and humidity
   • reduced seawater quality due to increased water temperature and acidity
   • coastal erosion due to various climate impacts
   • increased pressure on food supply and production
   • lost productivity and higher health costs due to increases in heat stress, allergies and infectious diseases
3. involving all sectors in implementation of the plan to:
   • address urgent impacts and seize opportunities
   • utilise and build on existing capacity and knowledge
   • embed adaptation within policy
   • increase awareness on why adaptation is important
   • encourage climate adaptation measures
   • monitor progress and effectiveness.
