The influence of regional strategic policy on municipal climate adaptation planning
研究了加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省39个地方政府的战略规划，发现区域政策指导对启动市级气候适应至关重要，但缺乏基于气候数据的细化政策限制了实施。
This study examines the extent and quality of climate adaptation integration within strategic plans of local governments in British Columbia, Canada. Strategic plans (n = 39) were assessed using plan content analysis in order to understand whether regional planning leads to adaptation action by municipalities. Framed through an institutional resilience lens, we find that regional policy guidance is critical for initiating the uptake of municipal climate adaptation; however, lack of granular adaptation policies informed by appropriate climate data constrains implementation in practice. Through collaboration and leveraging strengths of different levels of government, adaptation barriers can be addressed and the quality of adaptation policies improved.
