Findings from analyses of river basin management provide evidence that governance regimes which are characterised by a distribution of power and at the same time effective coordination structures, perform relatively better in achieving climate change adaptation than other arrangements. The ability to respond to challenges from climate change thus appears to be strongly related to effective coordination and innovative and flexible ways for dealing with uncertainty (Pahl-Wostl et al., 2012). The extent to which this applies to all fields of climate change adaptation policies is still an open question, but the findings of the self-assessment survey indicate the importance of factors such as knowledge exchange and clear, shared responsibilities (Table 2.9). The issues of coordination also highlight the importance of, for example, effective stakeholder involvement and dissemination of information (discussed further under Key Topic 5).
