What is most helpful for transformation to Regional Climate Adaptation Governance: Spatial Scale, Juristical Hierarchy or/and Multi-Level-Perspective Dr.-Ing. Manuel Gottschick KLIMZUG-NORD University of Hamburg International Symposium ‘The Governance of Adaptation’ Amsterdam, the Netherlands, March 22-23, 2012

Strategies to adapt to climate change in the metropolitan region of Hamburg – Universities and Research Center -~ 100 Scientists -22 authorities and corporations -25 work packages -15 Mill. € funding

Metropolitan Region Hamburg -4,3 Mio. People -14 Districts -3 Federal States (Bundesländer) Our work package: Regional Climate Adaptation Governance Ostheide

Our work package: Regional Climate Adaptation Governance several local case studies qualitative interviews social network analysis stakeholder panels formal and informal power relationship analysis communication analysis...

Region Lüneburger Heide, Ostheide Region is characterised by: –low income –importance of agriculture –light soils, few rainfall, high level of irrigation technology Problem: –use of groundwater for irrigation might cause biodiversity losses –due to climate change fewer rainfall in the summer Ost- heide

Problem Perception of Actors about groundwater uptake Law, Authority, Politician, Society District Water Authority EnvironmentalistsRegional farmers' association

Stakeholder Panel Groundwater Ostheide District Water Authority C District Water Authority B Regional farmers' association Our Stakeholder Panel: Ostheide District Water Authority A Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony Coordinator Environ- mentalists Aims: - teach knowledge and uncertainties - improve communication and - understanding about perspectives and interests - facilitate social learning  Reflexive Governance

Action at what level? Spatial: Global, National, Regional, Local Juristical Hierarchy: WTO, European Union, Federal Republic of Germany, Länder, administrative district Multi-Level Perspective: socio-technical Niches, Regime, Landscape...or...?

Spatial Scale Global: Climate Change; world agricultural market; world food affairs Europe: implementation of the Water Framework Directive: comparison of Germany/Ostheide and Spain/Andalusia Germany: most of the irrigation area in Germany is located in the Ostheide Region Region: water catchment, ground water balance, light soils, biodiversity, regional economy Local: small streams (dry in summer?), vulnerable stream waterheads, irrigation management; economy of villages, farms, families, and individuals

Juristical Hierarchy District Water Authority C District Water Authority B Federal State (Bundesland) Water Authority Federal State Minister of Environment Federal State Minister of Agriculture Regional farmers' association Our Stakeholder Panel: Ostheide District Water Authority A Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony corporation under public law Coordinator EU Water Framework Directive,...

So What? Action at what level? What is most helpful for transformation to Regional Climate Adaptation Governance? Spatial: Global, National, Regional, Local Juristical Hierarchy: WTO, European Union, Federal State, Länder, administrative district Multi-Level Perspective: socio-technical Niches, Regime, Landscape  all perspectives are helpful to understand the problem  but not sufficient to explain our findings (e.g. harmonic relationship, rejections of stronger focus on conflicting interests, lobbing behind closed doors while pretending to cooperate)  analysis of hidden aspects are needed to develop intervention strategies

Hidden Aspects Subtel Power District Water Authority C District Water Authority B Federal State (Bundesland) Water Authority Federal State Minister of Environment Federal State Minister of Agriculture Regional farmers' association Our Stakeholder Panel: Ostheide Moratorium until 2013 District Water Authority A Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony corporation under public law Coordinator

Consequently, the process of establishing a niche – where new actor-coalitions are supposed to develop – is a highly political task.“ (Gottschick (in review, 2013), JEPP, Sp.

How to analyse hidden aspects? By definition: they are hidden! Actors work hard to hide them! They are not amused if you discover their hidden strategies! This will probably destroy the trustful relationship you (science) might have. It stays in conflict with a rational harmonic participative problem solving approach (transdisciplinary research). Science will be perceived even more as a political actor. Therefore: Scientific evidence needs high standards of qualitative research and interpretative methods. The role of scientist in transdisciplinary research project needs to be clearly reflected to meet such standards
