This article gives insights into an inter- and transdisciplinary research approach designed to enhance the planning of climate change adaptation responses at urban-regional level. What makes interdisciplinary approaches action unique is its ability unravel complexity interwoven processes it entails. It aspect here that stakeholder involvement crucial. Hence in contemporary science-policy interface takes centre stage, generating response capacity exchanging 'usable' information with decision-makers within framework a approach.
