“…Such an integrative leadership approach can help build polycentric governance necessary for climate adaptation. From the examples we have been able to find, it appears that new kinds of partnerships involving industry and civil society can help (Crawford et al, 2018;Tillie & van der Heijden, 2016;van der Voorn, et al, 2012;van der Shaw et al, 2009;Sheppard et al, 2011;Sorensen et al, 2018;Voorn et al, 2017).…”

Local governments in cities around the world will not be able to cope with climate change impacts until they enhance their capacity to adapt. Past efforts to build local capacity, however, have often been unsuccessful. Building municipal capacity to formulate and implement climate adaptation plans will, in our view, require a new approach. Special attention will need to be paid to (1) contingent financial arrangements; (2) widespread and continuous stakeholder engagement; and (3) a commitment to experimental problem-solving. Most important, to respond to the scientific and technical uncertainties surrounding climate risks, local governments will have to enhance their 'adaptive governance' capabilities. Key policy insights:. Building local capacity to adapt to climate change is likely to require moving beyond traditional forms of financial and technical assistance so that the uncertainties and complexities of climate change can be addressed.. We suggest a new three-pronged approach to municipal capacity building.. The first element of this new approach will require structuring financial investments in a more adaptable (i.e. contingent) fashion.. The second will involve widespread and continuous stakeholder engagement, both for coalition building and for public learning.. The third encourages an experimental approach to problem-solving so that communities can learn-by-doing.

Participation and co‐production in climate adaptation: Scope and limits identified from a meta‐method review of research with European coastal communities

As climate change impacts increase, there are growing calls for strengthening relationships between researchers and other stakeholders to advance adaptation efforts. Participation and co‐production are widely held to be key to such relationships, both intended to open substantive engagement in science and research to non‐experts. Gains commonly attributed to participation and co‐production include improved understanding of user needs and contexts, enhanced trust, creating actionable knowledge for adaptation planning and decision‐making, and other new outcomes and practices supporting adaptation progress. At the same time, scrutiny of existing efforts to use participation and co‐production reveals limits and gaps in understanding the conditions and processes required to undertake them in meaningful, appropriate, and effective ways. This review assesses such limitations and gaps across the growing volume of research focused on adapting coastal and island communities within Europe. We systematically reviewed 60 peer‐reviewed papers, drawing on a novel meta‐method review approach to synthesize patterns in participation and co‐production implementations, types of outcomes, and the latter's associations with study research designs. We identify a propensity toward using more simplistic definitions of community, more conventional, extractive research methods in working with study communities, and emphasizing knowledge generation over other outcomes. These issues are all limits on participation and co‐production effectiveness, and we make recommendations to reduce them. We also recommend further recourse to systematic review methods to aid the development of participation and co‐production knowledge for adaptation.This article is categorized under: Assessing Impacts of Climate Change > Evaluating Future Impacts of Climate Change Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Perceptions of Climate Change Climate and Development > Social Justice and the Politics of Development

“…Several tsunami incidents in Aceh, Pangandaran, West Java, tsunamis in the Banten Strait and tsunami in Palu showed that the high number of casualties and damage was mostly caused by land use and adaptation patterns that were less appropriate in coastal areas [6]. In this context, coastal management and adaptation patterns are an important part of efforts to optimally utilize the coast while paying attention to aspects of the disaster [7]. Appropriate coastal management certainly has implications for disaster risk reduction efforts [8].…”

The coast of the southern coast of Yogyakarta is an area that has a tsunami hazard, tidal waves and abrasion. This study aims to find out how adaptation and land use in the coastal areas of Depok Beach, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research method is carried out qualitatively, data obtained from image interpretation and field observation. The research was conducted through spatial analysis and presented descriptively. The results of the study show that the pattern of community adaptation is demonstrated through use and utilization by considering aspects of the disaster. The results of the study show that land use on the coast of Depok Beach is in the form of business premises, land for reforestation and land for sand dune preservation. Optimizing coastal management and utilization managed independently by the community is able to increase economic value, create jobs so that people’s welfare increases. The role of the government in regulating the direction of coastal land use and public awareness is able to keep coastal ecosystems sustainable. Mentoring by the government, capital assistance and various trainings for community businesses and cooperatives on Depok coast are able to increase the capacity of communities to manage and utilize coastal areas in a sustainable manner.
