- About adaptation plans, which of the following sentences are NOT true? Select two or more: In the existence of a sector-specific adaptation plan for fisheries and aquaculture, it becomes less relevant for the sector to be included in a broader adaptation planning process. The mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture issues in national adaptation processes is improving but often remains incomplete and superficial. The mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture issues in national adaptation processes has been successfully completed due to global efforts in compliance with the Paris Agreement. It is necessary to have a sector-specific adaptation plan for fisheries and aquaculture.arrow_forwardLook at the conditions on the terms and descriptions or definitions on the right.
