Planning adaptation based on local actors’ knowledge and participation: a climate governance experiment

Abstract: Involving a wide-range of stakeholders at different moments in the planning of urban adaptation to climate change can help to overcome different barriers to adaptation, such as a lack of common perception, or control over options. This Article argues for an approach that involves a wide range of actors throughout the planning process in order to confront the challenges of urban adaptation to climate change. It builds on the results of a three-year participatory action research project to identify the catalysts… Show more

“…Beck, Giddens, and Lash (1994: 5) note that the emergent risk society "Designates a developmental phase of modern society in which social, political, economic and individual risks increasingly tend to escape the institutions of monitoring and protection in industrial society," and they continue on to argue that an alternative, second modernity is possible based on a recognition of the unique attributes of place, people, knowledge and cross-boundary communications. It is within such a complex, resource constrained second modernity that impacts of natural hazards, including floods, droughts, landslides, severe storms, heatwaves and wildfires are changing perceptions of human security, and generating calls for the unique, context specific integration of risk into policy through reflexive analysis (Beck, 2010;Bardsley, 2015;Cloutier et al 2015).…”

“…As part of the adaptation and mitigation efforts to address environmental challenges, the city should work on increasing the adaptive capacity of buildings and critical infrastructure [3]. To allow for this, the system would need an institutional set up that allows for participation, as well as an urban risk assessment and a robust decision-making process that is based on cost-benefit assessments valuing social, economic and environmental aspects and considers risk and a longer time horizon [4]. Community engagement and improved social participation are essential to build local resilience and reducing risk by providing bonding, bridging, and linking practices that enhance appropriation of neighbourhoods and ecosystems.…”

“…Recent development in research on adaptation planning and action argues for the co-production of knowledge between scientific and non-scientific stakeholders [4,5] that is consistent with societal needs [6,7] and is problem-oriented [8]. In order to plan and produce adaptation measures that are socially relevant, attention has been given to the process through which various stakeholders produce different types of contributions [4,9,10].…”
