Governments all over the world are struggling with the question of
how to adapt to climate change. They need information not only
about the issue and its possible consequences, but also about
feasible governance strategies and instruments to combat it. At the
same time, scientists from different social disciplines are trying
to understand the dynamics and peculiarities of the governance of
climate change adaptation. This book demonstrates how
action-oriented research methods can be used to satisfy the need
for both policy-relevant information and scientific knowledge.
Bringing together eight case studies that show inspiring practices
of action research from around the world, including Australia,
Denmark, Vietnam and the Netherlands, the book covers a rich
variety of action-research applications, running from participatory
observation to serious games and role-playing exercises. It
explores many adaptation challenges, from flood-risk safety to heat
stress and freshwater availability, and draws out valuable lessons
about the conditions that make action research successful,
demonstrating how scientific and academic knowledge can be used in
a practical context to reach useful and applicable insights. The
book will be of interest to scholars and students of climate
change, environmental policy, politics and governance.
