Transnational learning for climate change adaptation in the Baltic Sea Region
Regions and municipalities throughout the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) will be affected by a changing climate, albeit in different ways and to different degrees. While extreme weather‐related events have always put pressure on local and regional authorities challenging them to react in an ad hoc manner, long‐term and sustainable planning for climatic changes requires a more proactive stance to adaptive measures. This chapter asserts that the multilevel governance aspect of climate change adaptation reinforces the need for cooperation and learning on all levels, from the local to the transnational. It focuses on the process of transnational learning for climate adaptation, with specific examples from the BaltCICA project. Transnational learning is facilitated by certain preconditions such as similar challenges or local circumstances that make it easier for the partners to not only understand but also learn from each other.
