“…Several scholars have identified barriers and challenges of climate adaptation at either national, state, regional, or local levels using different methodologies, e.g., interviews, document analysis, and surveys (Biesbroek et al, 2011;Hunt and Watkiss, 2011;Baker et al, 2012;Boateng, 2012;Bierbaum et al, 2013;Clar et al, 2013;Reckien et al, 2014;Waters et al, 2014;Ryan, 2015;Shi et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2016;Tangney, 2017;Woodruff, 2018;Miao, 2019;Molenveld et al, 2020;Rai, 2020;Valente and Veloso-Gomes, 2020;Bromley-Trujillo and Holman, 2021;Lee et al, 2021;Basseches et al, 2022). For instance, Biesbroek et al (2011) categorize the barriers to development and implementation of climate adaptation strategies into seven clusters and, using a survey of 264 involved individuals in the Netherlands, find the ten highest-ranked barriers to adaptation, e.g., conflicting timescale, conflicting interests of actors, and lack of financial resources.…”
