Abstract:
|
"Risk management is a well established tool for climate change adaptation. It is facing new
challenges with the end of climate stationarity and the need to meaningfully engage people in governance
issues. The ways in which conventional approaches to risk management can respond to these challenges
are explored. Conventional approaches to risk management are summarized, the manner in which they are
being advanced as a tool for climate change adaptation is described, and emerging themes in risk
management and climate change adaption are documented. It is argued that conventional risk management
for climate change adaptation can benefit from the insights and experiences of adaptive co-management.
A hybrid approach termed adaptive collaborative risk management is thus envisaged that enriches
conventional risk management with the critical features of adaptive co-management, i.e., collaboration and
adaptation. Adaptive Collaborative Risk Management overcomes some of the challenges with conventional
risk management, builds upon and complements other approaches to community climate change adaptation,
and innovatively addresses both technical and governance concerns in a single integrated process."
