Abstract
This study explores the experiences of identified stakeholders in the DK2020 collaboration in regards to climate change adaptation and how their experience can be used to improve outcome of the Climate Alliance. Interviews were held with Realdania, CONCITO, the Region of Southern Denmark as well as representatives from Vejle and Varde Municipality respectively to analyze their individual experiences and understand the power dynamics that dominate both the DK2020 collaboration as well as the Climate Alliance. In the DK2020 collaboration, the power dynamics of the stakeholders varied greatly depending on the role of the stakeholder and for municipalities a variation was mostly seen depend on the entered phase of the project. The experiences of the stakeholders was mostly seen as a success with improved stakeholder communication, although the stakeholders also pointed towards challenges in terms of organisation, lack of engagement of stakeholders, lack of resources to handle the requirements, and common barriers affecting the planning process. The power dynamics amongst the stakeholders will mostly remain the same going into the Climate Alliance, however changes in roles will happen with the coordinating authority as well as in regards to the contribution of the municipalities to the collaboration. Four pieces of advice is given based on the interviews and the state of the art, which is for the Climate Alliance to ensure value generation for all stakeholders, look into common barriers of adaptation, increase the resources for implementation, and lastly, pass on more responsibility to the region.
