- Title
Coordinating Plans for Climate Adaptation.
- Authors
Woodruff, Sierra C
- Abstract
Climate adaptation planning emphasizes the need for coordination across sectors and scales. To assess how adaptation is coordinated with multiple planning efforts in a community, I analyze plans in the City of Chester, Pennsylvania, USA. Multiple environmental plans and strategies align with adaptation efforts, but when policies from all plans are mapped, a clear conflict between redevelopment priorities and adaptation emerges. Land use plans promote redevelopment in hazardous locations, increasing vulnerability. These conflicts raise questions about the ability for mainstreaming and win-win strategies to produce transformation change.
