[Jun 09] Adolf K.Y. Ng: Climate Change Adaptation Planning for Ports

The lecture presents a study on the adaptation of climate change impacts by seaports from the institutional perspective, examining how institutional structure constrains and facilities climate adaptation management and how an unprecedented challenge, such as climate change, can affect institutional development. It shows how unpreceded challenges, like climate change, can erode the effectiveness of established institutional systems and seriously constrain commitments from port stakeholders through exaggerating uncertain causes and effects, as well as the lack of clear monitoring responsibilities.
