Adapting to Climate Change in Swedish Planning Practice

Dymén, Christian and Langlais, Richard LU (2013) In Journal of Planning Education and Research 33(1). p.108-119
Abstract
Mitigation measures, especially municipal energy infrastructure transformation, have been the focus of Sweden’s climate

change responses. Recently, adaptation measures have grown in priority and planners are challenged to integrate mitigation

and adaptation. In our study, we observe how synergies and conflicts in adaptation, mitigation, and other social and economic

dimensions of spatial planning are grappled with in municipalities. We draw primarily from interviews with municipal planners

and regional agencies as well as a review of policy documents. Our conclusion is that municipalities could be assisted in their

climate change planning by stronger regional and national involvement.
