Summary We reviewed the newest global climate change adaptation methods and concerning technical standards in USA, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Australia, and France. We also reviewed how to consider the uncertainty concerning the performance of riverine flood damage reduction systems in USA, UK, Netherlands, Germany and France. Adding to them, we collected the newest information concerning each national climate change adaptation plan in USA, UK, and Germany. As a result, we suggested that the government of Japan should develop the global climate change adaptation methods which considered the uncertainty concerning the global climate change projection and the performance of the flood damage reduction system.
