Competing priorities: how actors and institutions influence adaptation of the German railway system

Maja Rotter; Esther Hoffmann; Anna Pechan; Rebecca Stecker

Large-scale infrastructure networks are vulnerable to climate change. Their operation involves public and private actors under complex legislative and market regulations. We analyze climate adaptation of railway infrastructure, based on an in-depth case study of the German railway system. The case includes a unique set of qualitative interviews with key players of operating and regulative organizations, as well as a document study. Our analysis crucially extends previous technology-oriented research on the railway sector by applying core insights and categories from the actor-centered institutionalism. We trace observed obstacles for a climate resilient railway system and adaptation decisions back to deeper causes, in particular political priorities and values. Moreover, diverging perceptions and the competition among different actors hamper adaptation. On the other hand, single actors who display a great willingness to act are able to make use of unclear responsibilities to integrate adaptation concerns into existing institutions. Our research suggests that changes in technical standards and in economic regulation support adaptation of infrastructure systems.

Anpassung an den Klimawandel als neues Politikfeld

Andreas Vetter; Esther Chrischilles; Klaus Eisenack; Christian Kind; Petra Mahrenholz; Anna Pechan

In Deutschland ist – wie in vielen Mitgliedstaaten der EU – Anpassung an den Klimawandel als eigenes Politikfeld mit einer nationalen Strategie, einem Masnahmenplan sowie fur die Umsetzung zustandigen Akteuren etabliert. Insbesondere bei physischen, raumwirksamen Masnahmen kommt dabei der kommunalen und regionalen Ebene eine masgebliche Rolle zu. Auf EU-Ebene kann die Umsetzung insbesondere durch einen geeigneten Forder- und Rechtsrahmen unterstutzt werden. Im Mittelpunkt des Kapitels stehen Klimaanpassungsstrategien auf den unterschiedlichen politischen Ebenen – von der EU bis zur Kommune –, Ansatze erfolgreicher Umsetzung und entsprechende Hemmnisse.
