Operationalising Adaptive Capacity

Abstract

Drawing on the three earlier analytical steps, presented in Chaps. 10 and 11, this chapter explicates the process of developing more nuanced indicators of adaptive capacity from the original determinants presented in Part I. Thus, drawing on the original determinants discussed in Part I, together with both outcome assessments and the emergent themes in the bridges and barriers analysis, the indicator section that follows will elucidate how the regime, knowledge and network based indicators could provide a framework to address the emergent issues from this set of analysis. The indicators and their operationalised criteria are presented, and contextual sensitivities across the cases are discussed. Finally commonalities and linkages across the different indicators are explicated.
