Understanding transboundary governance of climate adaptation Enabling and constraining characteristics of the policy arrangements of the Netherlands and North Rhine-Westphalia for cross border cooperation on climate adaptation Kennis voor Klimaat Marjolein van Eerd, Carel Dieperink en Mark Wiering. Today’s session • Introduction • The application of the Policy Arrangement Approach • Research results • Concluding remarks and recommendations • Discussion Research background • Climate change effects cross borders • Climate adaptation: ‘the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities’. • Inherently transboundary in character, yet domestic responsibility • Especially important in river basins Introduction research • Various factors influence transboundary governance o Regime theory o Negotiation approach o Cognitive approach • Which factors enable or constrain transboundary governance on climate adaptation in the Rhine river basin? • Describe and explain transboundary governance on climate adaptation in the Rhine river basin by identifying enabling and constraining policy arrangement characteristics between North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands • Researchers expectation: congruence between regions results in cross border cooperation, while discrepancies could be constraining The Policy Arrangement Approach • Policy Arrangement Approach as analytical research framework ‘temporary stabilization of the content and organization of a particular policy domain’ • Four interrelated dimensions are studied • Emerging Policy Arrangements Comparison results (1) Comparison results (2) Concluding remarks •Active cooperation, yet mainly in the water management sector •Various differences that could be constraining - Stimulating differences? • Also similarities that stimulate cooperation across borders •Improving cooperation across borders? Increasing congruence between border regions via the discourse dimension Thank you for your attention! Marjolein van Eerd, [email protected] North Rhine-Westphalia • Multiple actors and sectors on multiple levels concerned with climate adaptation • Diffusion of financial resources, knowledge generation is high • More resources allocated to climate mitigation •Various (integrative) climate change policies • Mostly in planning phase or focussing on mitigation •Discourses:human cause, mitigation versus adaptation, shift from a ‘safety discourse’ to ‘resilience strategy’, balancing of interests Emerging arrangement of climate adaptation governance The Netherlands • Also multiple actors on multiple levels concerned with climate adaptation, however, mainly in the water sector. • Unique role for the Delta Programme • Large amount of financial and knowledge resources. • First national adaptation strategy climate adaptation included in water management: Waterwet, Delta Act • ‘Water accomodation & Room for the River’ ‘climate proof’ ‘Safe Delta’ Dutch water management: clear, fixed arrangement Overall climate adaptation: emerging arrangement
