Climate adaptation governance in cities and regions: framework conditions, theoretical concepts and research questions
Climate change is a thread to sustainable development. Global climate change and its impacts with potentially catastrophic consequences are the result of spatially and temporally short‐sighted actions and decisions that have let to unsustainable practices, processes and systems. Transformational adaptation cannot follow a prescriptive approach. It is understood as a dynamic process that emerges from various individual actions that might cumulate into system transformation. Transformational climate adaptation targets at establishing climate resilient development pathways as development trajectories for future development. The design and implementation of transition processes is a governance issue that involves deliberate individual and collective action, which leads to the second theoretical concept that is of interest when analysing, understanding and conceptualizing climate adaptation governance. Climate change is likely to result in more severe impacts in cities and urban regions due to the high density and concentration of population, infrastructure and building structures.
