Policy design, spatial planning and climate change adaptation: a case study from Australia
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 01:53 authored by McIntosh, A, Foerster, AC, Janet McDonaldJanet McDonaldThere are gaps in the existing climate change adaptation literature concerning the design of spatial planning instruments and the relationship between policy instruments and the sociopolitical barriers to adaptation reform. To help address this gap, this article presents a typology of spatial planning instruments for adaptation and analyses the pattern of instrument choice in Australian planning processes in order to shed light on contextual factors that can impede adaptation. The analysis highlights how policy design can amplify the barriers to adaptation by arranging policy actors in ways inimical to reform and stripping decision makers of the instruments necessary to make and sustain desired policy changes.
