“…Sound adaptation strategies that meet the requirements of a given society need to be developed within the local context, and they need to be customized to the unique prevailing conditions by taking all relevant actors, their specific interests and perspectives into account Tryhorn and Lynch 2010). Only by integrating the whole array of stakeholders can a new strategy to face climate change actually be socially accepted.…”

Coastal protection strategies increasingly have to take into account the effects of climate change. At present, engineering and natural science models that assess the impact of global climatic transformations on regional coastal zones and their protection structures remain rather detached from the knowledge and insights of regional practitioners. The main thesis of this contribution, using a case study from the North Sea Coast of Germany, is that innovative coastal protection requires not only interdisciplinary research but transdisciplinary collaboration in order to develop a viable adaptation strategy. The investigation of the social dimension of climate change and coastal protection strategies, using qualitative interviews with organized regional stakeholders, climate researchers and coastal engineers, as well as a representative public survey, contributes to a comprehensive understanding of regional perceptions with respect to climate change and coastal protection.

“…Whilst the policy sciences approach has been widely applied in many disciplines over a number of years, more recent developments have seen its application on issues relating to climate change (Brunner, 1991;Pielke Jr, 1997;Brunner and Klein, 1999;Morss, 2005;Lynch and Brunner, 2007a;2007b;Lynch et al, 2007;Tryhorn and Lynch, 2009;Brunner and Lynch, 2010). The emphasis here is on the "place-based" context in climate vulnerability assessments for policy and decision making, particularly when dealing with adaptation, climate variability and extremes at the local scale.…”

A problem-orientated and interdisciplinary approach was employed at Alpine Shire, in north-east Victoria, Australia, to explore the concept of contextual vulnerability and adaptability to stressors that include, but are not limited to climatic change. Using a policy sciences approach, the objective was to identify factors that influence existing vulnerabilities that might consequently act as barriers to effective adaptation for the tourism sector. This paper presents initial analyses carried out to clarify adaptation goals through problem definition. Results suggest that many threats, including the effects of climate change, compete for the resources, strategy and direction of local tourism management bodies. An approximation of the common interest, i.e. enhancing capacity in business acumen amongst tourism operators, would facilitate adaptability and sustainability through the enhancement of social capital in this business community.
