Sustainable Distribution of Responsibility for Climate Change Adaptation

Funding information:

Climate change adaptation needs some distribution of responsibility, for example between public and private actors. To gain legitimacy for adaptation decisions, the distribution of responsibility needs to be grounded in theories of just distribution and what those affected by decisions see as just. The purpose of this project is to contribute to a sustainable spatial planning and the ability of public authorities, especially municipalities and County Administrative Boards (CABs), to make well-informed and sustainable adaptation decisions, based on knowledge about both climate change impacts and the perceptions of residents and civil servants on what constitutes a sustainable distribution of responsibility. Our aims are:A better understanding of the practical implications of theories about just distribution of responsibility for the choice of climate adaptation measures locally and regionally.Knowledge about what residents and civil servants consider a sustainable distribution of responsibility for climate adaptation measures.A better understanding of conflicts concerning the distribution of responsibilities and systematic knowledge about the possibilities to manage them.We study six municipalities and their residents, and two CABs, using mixed-methods: value theory, document studies, interviews, focus groups and surveys. Aim (1) and (3) will generate knowledge, applicable to a wider set of geographical areas and sustainable spatial planning issues.

Award title:

Responsibility for Climate Adaptation Across Political Levels, Sectors and Public-Private Boundaries - ReClAd

Funding information:

Responsibility for climate adaptation needs to be distributed across political levels, sectors and public-private boundaries in order to be effective. To gain legitimacy for such a distribution, it needs to be grounded in ethically defendable theories of just distribution and in what those affected by decisions see as legitimate. The project objective is to contribute to a sustainable Swedish climate adaptation, with a just and legitimate distribution of responsibility across political levels, sectors, and public-private boundaries. The goals are:G1. Knowledge about what individuals consider a legitimate distribution of responsibility for climate adaptation.G2. Knowledge about what public actors consider a legitimate distribution of responsibility for climate adaptation.G3. Improved understanding of the implications of theories of just distribution of responsibility for cross-cutting climate adaptation, and of how to adapt and implement the theories in this context.G4. A better understanding of how to establish a cross-cutting sustainable distribution of responsibilities.The project will use a survey and focus groups to reach G1, interviews with municipalities, national agencies and sector organisations to reach G2, and ethical and value theoretical analysis to reach G3. G4 will be reached by combining the knowledge and understanding reached in G1-G3 and by a systematic analysis of how conflicts over responsibility can be managed.
