Progress in adaptation planning and implementation between regions in North America is uneven . At the local level  in the USA, commitment of elected officials, financial resources and awareness of climate-change hazards and risks have been identified as driving the variation in climate adaptation . Adaptation programmes have come under budgetary and political pressures that limit continuity of efforts .
