Legal Framework for Climate Disaster Adaptation
Article 6 of Climate Law No. 7552, adopted on 2 July 2025, addresses adaptation activities to prevent climate-related losses and damage and reduce risks. It requires relevant public bodies to prepare and implement planning instruments and vulnerability and risk analyses at national and local levels.

Institutional Responsibilities for Stakeholder Coordination
The Coordination Unit Directive dated 30 September 2025 assigns responsibilities for communication and coordination between internal and external sustainability stakeholders and preparation of protocols where needed. This institutional arrangement defines responsibilities for joint work; it is not a statement that climate disaster planning has been carried out with a particular public authority.
