Climate change is perceived by leading decision-makers as the greatest economic risk for human development. (WEF 2019). Despite repeated calls of the UN Convention to make climate action more inclusive and transparent (Paris Agreement/Talanoa Dialogue 2018), in most countries, adaptation action continues to be considered primarily a government task. An increasing number of adaptation projects are being designed and implemented across the globe. Their main focus lies on management and action (what needs to be done?). However, many studies in recent years have revealed that major barriers for mainstreaming of adaptation action relate to governance factors (who decides what needs to be done, and: how shall it be done?). Governance analyses how governments and other social organisations interact, how they relate to citizens, and how decisions are taken in a complex world. Governance analyses are no substitute for other studies, such as risk assessments or management effectiveness analyses: in fact, they build upon and complement them. Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is a people-centric approach to adapt to climate change using nature. It often involves decision-making over public goods (natural resources and ecosystem services) at landscape level involving a multitude of stakeholders, sometimes with diverging interest
