6.1 Assessment of the current state of adaptation
The assessment of the current state of adaptation was completed using an adaptation scoreboard in accordance with the SECAP report model. The city’s situation was assessed using an A–D scaling system where:
A = Taking the lead (over 75% completed) B = Forging ahead (50–75% completed) C = Moving forward (25–50% completed) D = Not started or getting started (less than 25% completed)
