What is adaptive planning?

Adaptive planning is (1) is anticipatory instead of responsive and (2) explicitly recognizes uncertainties about the future and takes these into account in the management planning (Klijn et al., 2015).

Adaptive planning in the MLS concept

Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) is a method for decision making under deep uncertainties future arising from social, political, technological, economic, and climate changes. It is a method that combines two approaches for designing adaptive planning: ‘adaptive policymaking’ and ‘adaptive pathways’ (Haasnoot et al., 2013). The FRAMES pilots working on adaptive planning look at measures in layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3.

Adaptive planning and FRAMES pilots

In FRAMES, two pilot projects in Denmark, Assens and Vejle, aimed to adjust and apply the DAPP approach in combination with MLS measures to create adaptation development plans for flood proof cities.

What tools were used in the FRAMES pilots working with adaptive planning?

FRAMES has compiled a list of tools used in the pilots and classified these per layer. Click here to find out what tools are available for layer 2, layer 3 and layer 4 - the layers considered in the pilots working on adaptive planning.
