Abstract

Climate adaptation has so far been a voluntary topic for municipalities (in Germany), in consequence there is a fundamental challenge to establish the topic in everyday municipal life and to create suitable structures. From sustainability and transformation research as well as from mainstreaming experiences with the topic of climate protection, a variety of insights can already be gained that are important for integrating the topic of climate adaptation in local governments. While there are many findings from research on sustainable development and climate protection, the introduction of a new produces some further challenges regarding the complexity of structures and processes. In this contribution, it will be argumented that there structural, procedural, and contextual barriers to local climate adaptation in governance and planning. Based on this assumption, experiences in transformation towards climate adaptation in a specific local administration will be analyzed and discussed. The case presented is part of the ReWanKa project in Berlin (Reallabore Regenwasser und Klimaanpassung) which focuses on experimenting with administrative structures.
