dc.description.abstract | This paper presents results from a study of Czech Local Action Groups (LAGs),
focusing on gaining knowledge about their internally perceived legitimacy and their
potential role in local adaptation to climate change. Former studies on the role of
governance
networks in climate change adaptation have suggested that these
networks’ legitimacy are crucial for their success. In this article we provide an analytical
framework that can be used to address different aspects of local governance networks
which are imp
ortant for their legitimacy and the way they are apt as instruments for
climate change adaptation actions. We also present a survey among LAG members
that provide empirical data that we discuss in the article. The framework and the data
are discussed with
reference to existing contributions in the intersection of legitimacy,
governance networks and climate change adaptation. A specific aim is to provide
research based recommendations for further improving LAGs as an adaptation
instrument. In addition, knowl
edge is generated that will be interesting for further
studies of similar local governance initiatives in the climate change adaptation context. | language |
