Method development for identifying and analysing stakeholders in climate change adaptation processes

This research paper proposes a systematic method for mapping and analyzing stakeholder roles and responsibilities in climate change adaptation, based on case studies in Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden. It emphasizes that careful stakeholder analysis is essential for sustainable and effective adaptation implementation.

• The paper proposes a systematic method for identifying and analyzing the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in climate change adaptation, utilizing case studies from two Swedish urban regions: Stockholm and Gothenburg.
• Effective engagement of stakeholders in adaptation projects requires a detailed mapping of the stakeholder landscape and the identification of relevant actors across different levels, as views on who constitutes a stakeholder or who is responsible for adaptation can be contrasting and interrelated.
• The study's results suggest that careful stakeholder analysis is valuable for creating planned adaptation that is sustainable, effective, and flexible, while remaining systematic enough to meet scientific and practical requirements for implementation and study.
