Cover Story: Climate change is a concerning phenomenon, and the need for adaptation to climate change (ACC) solutions has gained growing interest worldwide. Internationally, ACC principles are being integrated in strategies and plans. This study focuses on the mainstreaming of ACC into strategies, plans, programs, and projects (SPPPs) adopted by six Italian cities. We scrutinize the contents of SPPPs with respect to four criteria: (i) references to strategies or plans for ACC; (ii) inclusion of ACC objectives and (iii) measures; and (iv) references to—or the inclusion of—climatic analysis on historical series and/or future projections. We found out that most SPPPs adopted by cities have considered ACC in a promising way, i.e., all the cities are inclined to promote ACC. View this paper
