“…With countries like USA, Canada, and Australia prioritizing good governance through access to spatial data (a social dimension), and environmental management, Ireland and France emphasize on adaptation to climate change in line with international and regional directives (Strain et al, 2006, Falaleeva et al, 2011. In the case of Italy, Japan, China, Seychelles and Indonesia, balancing economic development and environmental protection are the over aching challenges that necessitate having coastal SDI.…”

“…Conversely, none of them have developed system or tool to facilitate that. Failure to implement policy may be attributed to government structure (Cömert et al, 2008;Falaleeva et al, 2011;Kopke & O'Mahony Cathal, 2011) which dictate how government function, how responsibility are assigned and how services are rendered. Key issues common to this group of countries is conflicts of interest, administrative boundaries and legal instruments.…”

“…Aside the socio-economic considerations, environmental protection (Ioppolo, Saija, & Salomone, 2013), preservation of biodiversity (Hamylton & Prosper, 2012), and climate adaptation (Falaleeva et al, 2011;Kopke & O'Mahony Cathal, 2011) are other issues that compel urgent needs for knowledge-driven approach to understand and manage the coast through reliable spatial information. Acknowledging the necessity for sustainable environmental management, attention is gradually shifting to a holistic spatial infrastructure that can either integrate coastal spatial data with the existing NSDI or established as a separate entity (Canessa et al, 2007;Cömert et al, 2008) depending on the stated objective of the respective government.…”

“…Until in late 1990, with the European Commission Programme on ICZM, Ireland was without national policy framework on coastal management (Falaleeva et al, 2011). The administration of Irish coastal zone was fragmented in the hands of various central and local sector of the country's administrative structure without coordination.…”

“…Paradoxically, up till 2008, the draft policy from 1997 was not formally adopted due to lack of political and administrative support at the national level (Kopke & O'Mahony Cathal, 2011); implementation was limited to local scale. This was attributed to lack of cooperation, funding, and absence of formal mechanism for interaction, knowledge exchange and experience sharing (Falaleeva et al, 2011;Murray-O'Connor & Cooper, 2011). …”

The ability to cope with the complexity surrounding the coastal zone requires an integrated approach for sustainable socio-economic development and environmental management. The concept of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) was advanced in response to this. In line with the success story of spatial data infrastructure (SDI), initiatives are currently emerging to develop SDI for marine and coastal environment. The aim of this paper is to review emerging initiatives so as to identify the problems faced with implementation and discuss the way forward.The result may support stakeholders, policy makers, academia, and the government to leverage on the experience of others for a robust and sustainable policy and action plans on coastal management.

Assessment of Coastal Governance for Climate Change Adaptation in Kenya

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The coastline of Kenya already experiences effects of climate change, adding to existing pressures such as urbanization. Integrated coastal management (ICM) is increasingly recognized as a key policy response to deal with the multiple challenges facing coastal zones, including climate change. It can create an enabling governance environment for effective local action on climate change by facilitating a structured approach to dealing with coastal issues. It encompasses the actions of a wide range of actors, including local governments close to people and their activities affected by climate change. Functioning ICM also offers opportunities for reducing risks and building resilience. This article applied a modified capitals approach framework (CAF), consisting of five “capitals,” to assess the status of county government capacity to respond to climate change within the context of coastal governance in three county governments in Kenya. The baseline was defined in terms of governance relating to the implementation of the interrelated policy systems of ICM and coastal climate change adaptation (CCA). The CAF framework provided a systematic approach to building a governance baseline against which to assess the progress of county governments in responding to climate change. It identified gaps in human capacity, financial resource allocation to adaptation and access to climate change information. Furthermore, it showed that having well‐developed institutions, including regulatory frameworks at the national level can facilitate but does not automatically enable adaptation at the county level.
