Good practices and lessons learned: The study concludes that micro businesses are characterized by unique internal and external environments that national and regional policies and strategies may not have sufficiently addressed to date. In terms of policy implications, the shortage of information and knowledge about specific climatic risks and government support options should be tackled if micro businesses are to bolster their climate
resilience and develop more anticipatory and long-term adaptation strategies.
