In the final chapter of Part III the case evidence is reviewed according to the adaptive capacity indicators and analysed for positive fulfilment of the operationalised criteria. Furthermore, a synthesised review of the correlation between adaptive responses and indicators of adaptive capacity is presented. Results indicate a correlation between more transformative and persistent adaptive actions and the decentralised governance context of the Swiss case. The centralised and yet neo-liberal market model of the Chilean case is dominated by a number of passive actions, which can be seen to correlate with potential longer term degradation of the resilience of the social-ecological system. However, both cases are correlated with a number of persistent adaptive actions.
