It has been suggested that in order to address current complex problems, scientists have take on new roles link the production and use of knowledge. However, what exactly these mean is often not clearly identified. This paper contributes this by discussing relevant literature related different science society presenting results a study perspectives activities knowledge brokering. We identify three brokering repertoires: supplying, bridging facilitating, which differ with respect whether they...
Urban adaptation to climate change in Europe : Challenges and opportuinities for cities together with supportive national European policies.
Review of recent literature on adaptation to climate change and general policy processes shows that there are a large number barriers hamper the development implementation strategies. To reduce manage combine both streams literature, we propose seven clusters adaptation. Little is known, however, about relative importance these policies practices. An online survey was conducted between March 2010 July among 264 scientists, policymakers, private actors from different sectors levels who...
In the urban context quest to enhance economic growth and social well-being is challenged by need protect manage natural resources. order promote sustainable planning, sustainability objectives are commonly embedded into planning policies, associated indicators used evaluate interventions monitor implementation of such objectives. The applicability tied in their ability address context-specific issues progress towards definite goals set at local level. This paper presents findings a...

Large-scale development of offshore wind farms implies an increase in marine resource use conflicts. Managing potential impacts on ecosystems and access for traditional prospective users is key. Multi-use scenarios are a solution but often approached as 'design question' that can be settled through Marine Spatial Planning. In practice, regulatory, technical socio-economic factors hinder multi-use. Overcoming such barriers requires active collaboration between all stakeholders, yet meaningful...
Climate services are essential to support climate-sensitive decision making, enabling adaptation climate change and variability, mitigate the sources of anthropogenic change, while considering values contexts those involved. The unregulated nature can lead low market performance lack quality assurance. Best practices, guidance, standards serve as a form governance, ensuring quality, legitimacy, relevance services. Climateurope2 project (www.climateurope2.eu) addresses this gap by engaging...
Social housing typically encompasses neighbourhoods with low social-economic status. Here, environmental problems like climate change and biodiversity loss have a higher impact than in other neighbourhoods. Applying Nature-based Solutions (NbS) may enhance the resilience of social as such make cities more just. In this article we explore to what extent NbS can be applied, given physical, financial limitations that define Dutch practice, - by doing so – contribute justice. Based upon several...
In this study we assess the adaptive capacity of relevant institutions for ecosystems and environmental management in two complex systems: Dutch Wadden Sea Venice Lagoon. A new tool called Adaptive Capacity Wheel (ACW) is used to diagnose strengths weaknesses institutional systems these areas. An overview both leads a better understanding system governance enhances discussion how it can be improved. The ACW identifies six dimensions that are society, according literature on climate...
The recently launched H2020 project URBANFLUXES (URBan ANthrpogenic heat FLUX from Earth observation Satellites) investigates the potential of EO to retrieve anthropogenic flux, as a key component in Urban Energy Budget (UEB). advances existing Observation (EO) based methods for estimating spatial patterns turbulent sensible and latent fluxes, well urban storage flux at city scale local scale. Independent models are engaged evaluate derived products statistical analyses provide uncertainty...
