[en] The information gathered from the consultation for the new NAP and presented in this document (both in the form of thematic sets of recommendations and reference documents) does not fully reflect the breadth of reflection on the subject. Indeed, in certain sectors - such as transport and infrastructure or forestry - the concept has been considered for several years, and adaptation to climate change already figures among the main concerns of many operators in these sectors. Beyond the thematic sets of recommendations that reflect the state of collective thinking on the topic, the true value of the consultation process also resides in the vitality of the dynamic, which has been amplified since the establishment of the Adaptation Strategy in 2006. There can be no doubt that France's hosting of the COP21, and the conclusion and ratification of the Paris Agreement to limit temperature increases at a sustainable level for humans, had a major mobilising effect on the country. The recurrence of droughts and heat waves over the course of recent decades has also played a key role in driving greater awareness among the wider population and political decision makers. This context, particularly favourable to question the adaptation actions that need to be taken, is boosted by the availability of powerful tools such as regionalized climate change projections, and new information regarding extreme climate events or rising sea levels. The years 2016 and 2017 were particularly fruitful in terms of transforming the energy of the adaptation movement into concrete suggestions and orientations for climate action, including in certain sectors which until now had been under-involved in the process. Owing to this movement and the constructive contributions of the participants in the national consultation, the information contained in this report will feed into the 2. NAP announced in Objective 19 of France's Climate Plan, presented on July 6, 2017 by France's Minister for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition. The recommendations published will continue to serve as a guide for national adaptation policies, even beyond the 2. NAP. The success of the new plan will be measured essentially by its ability to mobilise every stakeholder involved, via a coordinated approach whose progress can be objectively measured. This renewed approach to adaptation to climate change will provide a significant contribution to France climate policy, which aims to lead us towards a low-carbon and resilient society, adapted to climate change, and in a broader sense will also help bring about France's ecological and inclusive transition
