| description | The increasingly dense and paved cities often situated in coastal areas, are challenged by climate
change that intensifies damages to urban infrastructure. Through a theoretical framework combining
Advocacy Coalition Framework with organizational learning theory of ‘Ba’, the public knowledge
creation processes on climate adaptation in Danish municipalities are analyzed in an empirical study.
Extreme weather events are found to have initiated a series of political responses, and the knowledge
creation processes are deemed essential in finding innovative and flexible solutions to the uncertainties
inherent in future climate changes. However, the current national regulation of the water sector are
dominated by three major political priorities (analyzed as belief systems) that simultaneously promote
and prohibit an adequate facilitation of the different learning contexts of ba essential for knowledge
creation in the municipalities. The thesis concludes that a more systematic and proactive gathering,
synthesizing and analyzing of practical experience gained at the municipal level during the
implementation of climate adaptation projects bears vital insights for the development of a more
coherent national regulative framework on climate adaptation, in which innovative learning processes
could be improved. |
