-
Project details
-
Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
The Go-Adapt project is funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund (ACRP programme). It is conducted by a research team at InFER – the Institute of Forest, Environmental, and Natural Resource Policy at BOKU University Vienna, in co-operation with the Environment Agency Austria and supported by a panel of experts.Summary:
Go-Adapt is a political science research project and aims to provide insights on how governments address key governance challenges in the context of climate change adaptation, such as improving horizontal and vertical policy integration, coping with uncertainties, and involving stakeholders.
The project analyses the ways in which adaptation policies and instruments are developed and implemented by governments in 10 OECD countries at different levels.
Expected Outputs:
Go-Adapt aims to:
a) provide an overview of adaptation governance approaches in 10 OECD countries (stock taking survey);
b) show how the surveyed approaches actually function in selected adaptation policies (case studies);
c) draw lessons from experiences with similar governance approaches in related policy fields such as climate change mitigation and sustainable development (extended literature review), and,
d) provide guidance on how to advance the governance of climate change adaptation, in particular in countries that are at early stages of establishing respective policy frameworks such as Austria (a country in which Go-Adapt partner Umweltbundesamt is strongly involved in all ongoing activities leading to a national adaptation strategy).
