This document details the evaluation process carried out within the current Spanish National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC in Spanish) in order to assess the progress achieved, the pending challenges and the lessons learned. The results will be used to formulate an updated PNACC for the 2021-2030 period, which should incorporate new international commitments and the most recent knowledge about the risks arising from climate change, drawing from the experience gained during the implementation of the current PNACC. The in-depth evaluation of the current PNACC was planned and executed around four main lines of work, which were carried out in parallel starting at the beginning of 2018 up until mid-2019.

This paper indicates that the second PNACC must reinforce its key role as a framework for the coordination and integration of public policies on adaptation, strengthening the positive aspects of the first PNACC and improving aspects where gaps or deficiencies have been identified. It must also be planned with an open and flexible approach that allows new adaptation needs that may arise over time to be incorporated into its different Work Programmes. The document also recommends that the next PNACC must identify resources that it needs and stakeholders affected and mobilize them accordingly. It must also be aware of emerging perspectives and aspects such as human rights, gender, and vulnerability must be included in its design and implementation.
