Adaptation and Social Learning

Research Line Leader:
Jochen Hinkel

Goal:
Support climate change adaptation through the analysis of actors,
networks, institutions, decisions, risks and opportunities involved in
the process of adaptation.

Major finding:
In many instances, adaptation is not a matter of a one-shot decision
based on knowledge about climate impacts and adaptation options,
but rather a continuous learning process between actors and institutions
at all levels of decision making.

Funding agents:
European Commission through the MEDIATION project
and other sources.
