The document outlines the OECD's future work program on climate change adaptation from February 2019 to December 2020. It discusses the process for developing the OECD's biennial Programme of Work and Budget, which will include several potential adaptation projects focused on understanding climate impacts, setting adaptation objectives, identifying priority measures, designing adaptation policy and funding, tracking impacts and evaluating results, and conducting peer learning activities. Example projects mentioned are assessing wildfire risk, drought and water scarcity, coastal zones, infrastructure resilience, nature-based solutions, adaptation finance, metrics and indicators, and national policy dialogues. Member countries will provide input to guide the OECD's adaptation work.

11. Discussion questions
? What adaptation-related policy areas are of utmost importance for your
country and the international community?
? What type of OECD projects are of the greatest interest for you:
? thematic projects with a policy or economics angle and general policy recommendations;
? country-specific analyses and recommendations;
? adaptation in the context of other policy areas;
? support for the design and/or implementation of country-specific reforms or strategies; or
others?
? On the country-focused work, is there interest in conducting national
adaptation policy dialogues?
