Social learning about climate adaptation: global and local perspectives [1]

Solutions to contemporary environmental challenges will require dialogue and learning among stakeholders with different perspectives. Moreover, enhancing the potential for social learning can be seen as a strategy for meeting the inherent complexity and uncertainty on global change. Social learning processes have been studied in the context of co-management of resources and as a feature of international environmental governance, with increasing recognition of the links between governance levels. This paper explores social learning about climate adaptation in relation to the architecture of climate governance. It compares the potential for social learning at the international level with a local perspective based on preliminary results from a case study of climate adaptation in the Stockholm region, Sweden.
