This chapter establishes the theoretical foundation of the study, integrating hegemony analysis with poststructuralist approaches to ecofeminism to explore the gendered climate policy identities of India and the European Union. By enhancing Martin Nonhoff’s hegemony analysis with ecofeminist perspectives, this innovative approach allows the systematically deconstruction of gendered discourse elements and subject positions within climate policy discourses. Judith Butler’s theory of subjectivation is introduced to address individual and group subject positions, enriching the later analysis. The chapter also outlines the research design of the study, including the conceptual framework that connects the various elements of discourse, subject positions and hegemony, providing a comprehensive approach in order to understand the construction and stabilisation of the climate change policy identities of different entities such as national states and regional organisations.

Governance of large-scale environmental problems: the case of climate change

January 2010 · International Journal of Global Warming

This paper focuses on the management of Climate Change Mitigation (CCM), seeking a working institution capable of addressing its cross-scale and multi-level challenges. Currently, two most studied forms of institution are co-management and transnational networks, of which a common point is that they both attempt to build up cooperative networks. While cooperative networks have a general form of ... [Show full abstract] viability, this paper develops an Interactions Check Table (ICT) to illustrate those interactions between stakeholders in those two forms of cooperative networks. On the basis of the ICT analysis, this paper makes suggestions for improving cooperative networks as a working institution.

Responsive Beteiligung beim europäischen Hochwasserrisikomanagementplan

January 2016

Thomas Hartmann

Hochwasser zählen – zumindest in Europa – zu den teuersten Folgen des Klimawandels und sie werden dem IPCC zufolge an Intensität und Vulnerabilität weiter zunehmen. Hochwasserrisikomanagementpläne stellen ein wichtiges Instrument zum Umgang mit Hochwasser dar. Diese werden erstmal bis Dezember 2015 erstellt. Allerdings stellt die Hochwasserrichtlinie (2007/60/EG) die Wasserwirtschaft, die mit der ... [Show full abstract] Erstellung der Pläne betraut ist, vor große Herausforderungen im Umgang mit anderen Institutionen – vornehmlich der Raumplanung – und mit betroffenen Bürgern und Bodeneigentümern. Die Richtlinie fordert nämlich „eine aktive Einbeziehung“ der interessierten Stellen bei der Erstellung der Hochwasserrisikomanagementpläne. Eine solche partizipative Arbeitsweise entspricht nicht dem noch immer vorwiegend technisch und ingenieurwissenschaftlich geprägten Paradigma des gegenwärtigen Hochwasserschutzes. Hier kann die Wasserwirtschaft von den Erfahrungen und Herangehensweisen in der Raumplanung profitieren – wenngleich diese entsprechend angepasst werden müssen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die mit der neuen Arbeitsweise verbundenen Herausforderungen anhand der Beispiele Niederlande und Deutschland diskutiert. Im Besonderen werden dabei die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen zum flussgebietsweiten Planungsanspruch des Hochwasserrisikomanagementplans herausgearbeitet. Welche Anforderungen stellt das neue Instrument an die Governance zwischen Wasserwirtschaft und Raumplanung? Außerdem wird die Bedeutung des Planens mit Hochwasserszenarien hervorgehoben, um die Notwendigkeit neuer partizipativer Methoden im Umgang mit Betroffenen darzustellen. Hiermit werden die zwei zentralen Aspekte des Hochwasserrisikomanagementplanes und deren Konsequenzen für die Governance diskutiert. Zentrale Schlussfolgerung ist, dass im Umgang mit Hochwasserrisiko neue Wege der Partizipation – einerseits zwischen Institutionen, anderseits mit Bürgern und Bodeneigentümern – zentrale Vorbedingung für Hochwasserrisikomanagement unter Bedingungen des Klimawandels ist. Wie entsprechende Methoden aussehen könnten, und wie sich diese in Case Studies untersuchen lassen ist zentraler Gegenstand der Diskussion dieses Beitrags.

Global environmental facility: climate change in india

November 2015

Climate change is no more an environmental concern. It has emerged as the biggest development challenge for the planet. Its economic impacts, particularly on the poor, make it a major governance issue as well. The debates and discussions building up for the next conference of parties (COP) in Copenhagen and beyond are an indicator of this. A GEF operational focal point (OFP) is designated by each ...

Adaptive Governance within Europe–the need for integrated adaptation strategies

January 2010

Adaptation to climate change raises fundamental challenges concerning the development of integrated adaptation strategies. In the presentation, four overarching challenges and how to respond to them will be elaborated in more detail: the integration of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures; the need to address the adaptation requirements of important economic and political sectors of ...

The issue of adaptation to climate change thus presents far-reaching challenges in terms of shaping societal development and, more specifically, societal relationships with nature as a whole.

Integration in urban climate adaptation: Lessons from Rotterdam on integration between scientific di...

August 2014 · Building and Environment

Based on the experience acquired in the Bergpolder Zuid district in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, this paper presents lessons learned so far on science-policy interactions supporting the adaptation to climate change in an urban district. Two types of integration issues were considered: (1) Integration within science including integration of disciplines, methods, models and data, and (2) ... [Show full abstract] integration between science and the local stakeholders' society, involving a synthesis of scientific and practical knowledge, linking sectors, governance arrangements and organisations. At first sight, the issues around integration within science and beyond the science of climate change adaptation in cities resemble those generally observed in science-policy integration. However, the relative newness of urban adaptation to climate change poses specific challenges for both the scientists and the stakeholders involved in the process. The Rotterdam example discusses the use of multiple means of integration for enhancing integration between scientific disciplines and integration between scientific and stakeholder knowledge.
