Intro Bottom Up - Governance Approach Implementation of the governance approach in the SAWA Project at the Wandse Catchment Area, Germany Lessons learned so far and conclusions
Consequences:
new ideas and concepts are to be developed beyond the traditional FRM new technology and methods is required active involvement of private and public stakeholders
Question: How to get the new concepts&technology implemented and accepted by the key stakeholders?
Intro- Governance
Governance is a process Definition: the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (UN Economic and social commission of Asia and the Pacific) - It is about how authorities, institutions and social organizations interact with citizens when making decisions Top-Down the plan is developed by professionals. Publics opinion and input is only requested through public hearings and written objections at the end of the approval process necessary Bottom-Up all stakeholders, professionals and public are involved right from the start and together they develop the plan in a continuous collaborative process.
Governance approach
Bottom up governance strategy:
(Adapted from Ashley et al, 2009)
Governance approach:
Phases are given as: 1. Scoping- Selection of Members, Ties, Trust, Raising awareness, Drivers, Development of shared vision and assessment of the problem 2. Understanding&Envisioning Toolbox of adaptation (NSM) measures, Development of shared vision of where to get to 3. Experimenting- Formulate options of adaptive flood risk management by NSM, Integrate them to scenarios of integrative planning 4. Evaluation- Evaluate effectiveness of responses, Evaluate conflicts and find ways of minimizing them, Consensus Finding Knowledge intensive process Methods and Tools are required to support it
Governance- Requirements
Objectives: Development of the shared vision of the problem
Phase
Scoping
Stakeholder analysis (selection and characterisation of key stakeholder groups and their interactions) Building social competences Confronting with flood risk and raising awareness Understanding the system drivers and pressures, sensitivity, response
Methods and Tools Stakeholder Analysis Concepts and Tools for raising of risk awareness &Social Learning methods Methods and tools for quantification of effects caused by drivers&pressures Methods and tool for assessment of the criticality of the system
Material Flood Hazard& Risk Maps Projections of future development Climate Chang& Urbanisation scenarios On site assessment of the existing flood risk
Governance- Requirements
Phase
Understanding and
Envisioning
2 1
Inventory of the adaptive measures and their interactions with the existing plans (e.g WFD) Knowledge acquisition through (active) learning
Methods and Tools Tools for quantification of the effect of the existing planning procedures Methods and tools for delivering knowledge
Material Inventory of the best practice of adaptive measures (NSM) Existing plans in the area (e.g. Measures of WFD)
Governance- Requirements
Phase
Experimenting
3 2 1
Development of a toolbox of possible measures for flood risk mitigation for the studied area Development of alternatives by combining the single measures into strategies considering and weighting interests of different stakeholder groups Quantification of their efficiency
Methods and Tools Decision support tools for quantification of the effect of NSM
Material Maps with all focus areas where the action is needed
Governance- Requirements
Phase
Testing & Evaluation
4 3 2 1
Identification and discussion on conflicts caused by different interests of stakeholder groups Iterative improvement of the final concept to its final state
Methods and Tools Development of Assessment Matrix for MCA Methods & Tools for participation in the assessment of conflicts

FRMP
Project status:
Social competence crucial for the success Clear goals and indication on how to achieve them (transparency in DM process) is important Good understanding of the system required (hazard and risk maps have to be available, drivers&pressures assessed) Delivering facts important (such as quantification of the effect of pressures&drivers, NSM) Combine information with emotions The sessions have to be inviting for participants especially in the initial phase, that is learning intensive Dare to try something new
Lessons learned so far & Conclusions But: Time and resources intensive process Involves a range of tools and methods (social, hydrodynamic, learning) and needs interdisciplinary teams Still resolving: How to include the issue of Climate Change into the planning? How detailed to go in discussion on measures? Workshops vs. Online participation Beyond the project: Basis for governance for adaptation to climate change (development of a climate adaptation master plan, KLIMZUG project)
