depend on appropriate enabling conditions, including institutional support and capacity, available financial resources and knowledge, and suitable conditions for stakeholder participation  . The current levels of uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of many adaptation options  means that decision- making approaches applicable to deep uncertainty  will apply in many if not most cases . An early step in identifying suitable integrated pathways for managing climate risks, establishing 'no regrets' anticipatory options in a timely manner, and avoiding path dependencies is to jointly map the steps for adapting to sectoral risks and determine suitable ways to avoid maladaptations arising  . The application of Dynamic Adaptive Pathway planning has been successfully used in this way in Australasia  and Europe  . Current experience suggests that synergies between sectors can save resources and effort  . Iterative processes can then enhance adaptation programmes by including more detailed modelling, and updated knowledge as the experience is acquired .
