Knowledge and information needs of adaptation policy-makers: a European study

S. Hanger; Stefan Pfenninger; Magali Dreyfus; Anthony Patt

Across Europe, national governments have started to strategically plan adaptation to climate change. Making adaptation decisions is difficult in the light of uncertainties and the complexity of adaptation problems. Already large amounts of research results on climate impacts and adaptive measures are available, and more are produced and need to be mediated across the boundary between science and policy. Both researchers and policy-makers have started to intensify efforts to coproduce knowledge that is valuable to both communities, particularly in the context of climate change adaptation. In this paper, we present results from a study of adaptation governance and information needs, comparing eight European countries. We identify sources and means for the retrieval of information as well as gaps and problems with the knowledge provided by scientists and analyzed whether these appear to be contingent on the point in the policy-making cycle where countries are. We find that in this early phase of adaptation planning, the quality of the definition of needs, the way uncertainty is dealt with, and the quality of science–policy interaction are indeed contingent on the stage of adaptation planning, while information needs and sources are not. We conclude that a well-developed science–policy interface is of key importance for effective decision-making for adaptation.

Urban governance and the systems approaches to health-environment co-benefits in cities

“Co-beneficios” e um termo que se refere aos impactos positivos de uma politica alem do que se era esperado inicialmente. No contexto urbano, politicas executadas em um setor especifico (como transporte, energia ou residuos) frequentemente podem gerar multiplos co-beneficios em outras areas, como reducao dos impactos ambientais globais e locais, e se extendendo a saude publica. Um ponto chave para se poder identificar e gerar co-beneficios e adotar a abordagem por sistemas para entender as ligacoes inter-setoriais. Esta abordagem tambem pode ajudar no entendimento de como podemos melhorar um setor especifico e a governanca urbana em geral. Assim, este artigo faz uma revisao da literatura de varias politicas que geram co-beneficios climaticos e de saude em diversos setores e ilustra atraves de uma serie de casos como a abordagem por sistemas pode levar a inovacoes em governanca urbana que levem ao desenvolvimento de cidades mais sustentaveis e saudaveis.

The European Commission White Paper on adaptation: appraising its strategic success as an instrument of soft law

Magali Dreyfus; Anthony Patt

The European Union took its first strategic step on the topic of climate adaptation in 2009 with publication of a White Paper on Adaptation. Since its publication, many researchers and analysts have criticized the White Paper for its lack of concrete and enforceable actions. In this paper, we analyse the White Paper as an instrument of soft law. First, we provide background on the theory of soft law, its terms of applicability, and the standards by which to judge its success. Second, we analyse the content and context of the White Paper according to soft law principles. We find that the conditions under which the White Paper was adopted were exactly those suited to a soft law approach and highly determined by the European multi-level governance context. As such, the White Paper has managed to achieve several of the common objectives of soft law in particular in setting up processes allowing information-sharing and subsidiarity. However it has failed to achieve several others especially in fostering the commitment of the states, and in moving the European Union in the direction of binding regulation. Further strategy development will be required to fix these deficiencies.

A systems approach for health/environment/climate co-benefits in cities

Jose A. Puppim de Oliveira; Christopher N.H. Doll; José G. Siri; Magali Dreyfus; Hooman Farzaneh; Anthony G. Capon

Urbanization and Climate Co-Benefits examines the main opportunities and challenges to the implementation of a co-benefits approach in urban areas. Drawing on the results of empirical research carried out in Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Africa, India and Japan, the book is divided into two parts. The first part uses a common framework to analyse co-benefits across the urban sectors. The second part examines the tools and legal and governance perspectives at the local and international level that can help in planning for co-benefits.
