Abstract
Recorded climate warming in France was about 30% greater than average global warming in the twentieth century. Associated costs are significant, and are being absorbed by a range of areas, including biodiversity, water, health, tourism, agriculture, and transportation. Adaptive planning is critical to mitigating the impacts of climate change and is ongoing in several sectors (Climate Congress (2009) Changement climatique. Available at: http://climatecongress.ku.dk/pdf/synthesisreport/). To prepare for a national adaptation plan a consultation was carried out during 2010 in mainland France and overseas. A national plan is targeted for 2011.
