The scope of climate risks included in European adaptation policies and plans  is generally broad . Systemic and cascading risks  are often recognised, but most conventional risk assessment methods that inform adaptation planning are ill-equipped to deal with these effects . For example, transboundary risks emerging in regions outside of Europe are considered only by a few countries such as the UK and Germany . European climate change adaptation strategies and national policies are generally weak on gender, sexual orientation, as well as other social equality issues .
