Mapping climate change adaptation in a selection of countries (Adapt-map)
The prosject looks at climate change adaptation in five countries in Northern Europe. How have the autorities in these countries decided to approach and work with climate change adaptation at the national level?
The Norwegian Environmental Agency (Miljødirektoratet) has assigned Noradapt the task of mapping the climate change adaptation effort in Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria.
systems of governance
The mapping includes a study of relevant documents and interviews with representatives from the countries, with a particular focus on how systems of governance within climate adaptation policy function, including requirements and guidelines various actors are subject to, routines followed in provision of a common knowledge foundation at the national level (risk and vulnerability assessments), and systems used for measuring, reporting, and evaluating.
two noradapt partners
Two of the research partners in Noradapt, Norce and Western Norway Research Institute, are partners in the project in addition to Stockholm Environment Institute and the University of Helsinki.
