Mistra-SWECIA Science seminar: The Challenge of Governing Climate Change Adaptation
Climate change adaptation has become a policy concern and priority at all levels of governance in recent years. Despite its increasing attention among science and policy communities, it is still largely unclear how governments develop and implement effective and equitable climate adaptation policies. This Mistra-SWECIA science seminar, hosted by SEI, addresses some of the challenges in governance approaches at sectorial, national and international levels. They include aspects of social justice and legitimacy, financing and integrating adaptation considerations in policymaking.
