“…A network of research teams collected data for more than a decade using the same strict data collection protocols. Bisaro et al (2010) used the representation of multi-level policy processes as sequences of connected action situations to analyse climate change adaptation and adaptive management in Lesotho. The entire process was tightly managed and focused on a set of well-defined research questions.…”

This book series aims at providing a platform for developing an integrated perspective on major advances in the field of water governance. Contributions will build bridges across established fields of expertise, across disciplinary perspectives, across levels from global to local and across geographical regions. Topics to be covered include conceptual and methodological advances capturing the complexity of water governance systems, institutional settings, actor constellations, diagnostic approaches, and comparative studies of governance systems. The book series encompasses monographs, textbooks and edited, coordinated volumes addressing one theme from different perspectives. The book series will address mainly a wider scientific audience, but will also provide valuable knowledge to interested practitioners. The sustainable management of fresh water resources and the ecosystem services that they provide is one of the key challenges of the 21st century. Many water related problems can be attributed to governance failure at multiple levels of governance rather than to the resource base itself. At the same time our knowledge on water governance systems and conditions for success of water governance reform is still quite limited. The notion of water governance aims at capturing the complexity of processes that determine the delivery of water related services for societal needs and that provide the context within which water management operates. Water governance is a fast growing field of scholarly expertise which has largely developed over the past decade. The number of publications in peer reviewed journals has increased from less than 20 in the year 2000 to nearly 400 in the year 2013. The increasing popularity of the term in science and policy has not lead to conceptual convergence but rather to an increasing vagueness and competing interpretations of how the concept should be understood, studied, and analyzed; which disciplines are involved; and what methodological approaches are most suitable for the study and analysis of water governance. The time seems to be ripe for comprehensive synthesis and integration.More information about this series at

“…Theories from multi-level governance are used to describe the management of collective issues, the various stakeholders involved and the processes used to influence adaptation actions and outcomes (van de Meene et al, 2011). It emphasises the significance of interactions between structures and processes across both horizontal levels (i.e., crosslevel between other local councils or a conglomerate of councils such as the Regional Organisation of Councils) and vertical scales (i.e., cross-scale between different tiers of government) (Bisaro et al, 2010).…”

Overcoming cross-scale challenges to climate change adaptation for local government: a focus on Australia

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to identify key cross-scale challenges to planned adaptation within the context of local government in Australia, and suggest enabling actions to overcome such challenges. Many of the impacts of climate change and variability have or will be experienced at the local level. Local governments are embedded in a larger governance context that has the potential to limit the effectiveness of planned adaptation initiatives on the ground. This study argues that research on constraints and barriers to adaptation must place greater attention in understanding the broader multi-governance system and cross-scale constraints that shape adaptation at the local government scale. The study identified seven key enabling actions for overcoming cross-scale challenges faced by local governments in Australia when undertaking climate change adaptation planning and implementation. A central conclusions of this study is that cooperative and collaborative approach is needed where joint recognition of the scale of the issue and its inherent cross-scale complexities are realised. Many of the barriers or constraints to adaptation planning are interlinked, requiring a whole government approach to adaptation planning. The research suggests a stronger role at the state and national level is required for adaptation to be facilitated and supported at the local level.

“…Gestão comunitária é um dos três modelos de governança, junto às hierarquias e mercados (Vatn, 2010). Na realidade, formas híbridas destes três modelos ideais são mais prováveis, assim como a cogestão, a qual os usuários locais do recurso e atores governamentais compartilham o poder e a responsabilidade da gestão daquele mesmo recurso (Berkes et al 1991;Carlsson e Berkes, 2005;Fabricius et al, 2007;Armitage et al, 2008;Berkes, 2009;Bisaro et al 2010;Schröter et al, 2014;Sessin-Dilascio et al, 2014).…”

Comunidades que vivem em áreas de proteção integral vivenciam situações conflituosas. Neste artigo analisamos o estudo de caso da Comunidade de Marujá, do Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso (PEIC) (Cananeia, São Paulo, Brasil) e demonstramos soluções práticas que podem ser aplicadas para outras áreas protegidas caracterizadas pelos mesmos conflitos. Baseado em entrevistas semiestruturadas, descrevemos o processo de 10 anos (1998 a 2008) em que a comunidade e o parque construíram sua relação. Procuramos entender como, durante este processo, a comunidade passou de espectador impotente para cogestores adaptativos. Nossos resultados mostram que a comunidade conseguiu desenvolver sua capacidade adaptativa só com a ajuda externa. A gestão do parque auxiliou neste processo por meio de mecanismos como a negociação participativa e deliberativa da tomada de decisão sobre as regras do parque através de um conselho, um plano de manejo participativo e a institucionalização da organização comunitária.
