Integrating climate change adaptation into municipal planning and governance : A guideline
(2015) In Working Paper Series of the University College London (UCL) Hazard Centre 31.- Abstract
- This guideline offers local government officers and local politicians process-oriented assistance for integrating climate change adaptation within relevant sectors of municipal administration with the aim of fostering sustainable urban development. It is thus an instrument to support leadership of this integration process. The levels and areas where integration of climate change adaptation is relevant are systematically presented. This permits the planning and evaluation of potential interventions and measures. The structure of the guideline is based on the levels relevant for the integration of climate change adaptation:
I. The local level (i.e., operative measures on the ground) II. The institutional level (i.e., strategic measures...

The inter‐institutional level (i.e., strategic measures regarding the municipality’s cooperation with external actors). See illustration below. Based on this, the fourth section of the guideline features an analysis table, which allows assessment of the measures taken at levels I-III. Thus, the guideline is a sort of model or grid which can be used to review municipalities’ work in order to identify where progress has already been achieved and where there is still need for action. Based on the identified needs and gaps, a second analysis table serves to support systematic planning of the necessary measures for further integration of climate change adaptation within municipal planning and governance.

- Den här guiden ger lokala politiker och tjänstemän ett processorienterat verktyg för att stärka förankringen (integrationen) av klimatanpassning i relevanta sektorer av kommunal verksamhet, med syftet att främja en hållbar stadsutveckling. Den kan därför ses som ett instrument för att vägleda en integrationsprocess. Guiden presenterar systematiskt de nivåer och områden där förankring av klimatanpassning är viktigt, och möjliggör på så sätt planering och bedömning av eventuella åtgärder.

Den kan därför ses som ett instrument för att vägleda en integrationsprocess. Guiden presenterar systematiskt de nivåer och områden där förankring av klimatanpassning är viktigt, och möjliggör på så sätt planering och bedömning av eventuella åtgärder.
Guidens format följer de tre nivåer som identifierats som centrala för integrationen av klimatanpassning:
I. Lokal nivå (operativa åtgärder på plats/ områdesnivå).
II. Institutionell nivå (strategiska åtgärder inom kommunens administration och ledning).
III. Inter‐institutionell nivå (strategiska åtgärder för samverkan med externa aktörer). Se figuren.
Den fjärde delen av guiden är en analysmall som kan användas för att granska kommunens åtgärder på nivåerna I‐III. Analysmallen består av två tabeller. I den första tabellen kan det egna arbetet placeras in för att se var framsteg har gjorts – och på vilka områden det finns behov av vidare åtgärder. Den andra tabellen kan sedan användas för att systematiskt planera de åtgärder som identifierats som nödvändiga för den fortsatta integreringen av klimatanpassningsfrågan i kommunens verksamhet och planering.
