Climate adaptation governance – theory, concepts, and praxis in cities and regions. The role of climate and water governance in supporting climate change adaptation processes
The impacts of climate change have become very apparent and are increasingly becoming problematic for governments, communities, and individuals. The impacts of climate change on water and resulting crisis in relation to water resources has been characterized as a crisis of governance. This chapter argues that effective climate change governance must be poly‐centric, allowing decision‐making by several independent centers and actors, as well as adaptive, embracing design principles promoting flexibility. First, it provides a brief context if climate governance, and then discusses the role of law and legal mechanisms, specifically the property interest in water and how this institution can improve the adaptive capacity of rural agricultural producers. The chapter then explains policies surrounding water with their important contribution to agricultural producer adaptive capacity. It uses examples of the European and Canadian contexts to illuminate some discussion points and features of polycentric and adaptive governance.
