随着社会试图适应不断变化的环境带来的挑战，气候变化适应战略正在欧洲各地涌现。环境政策的社会建构主义分析——特别是那些强调“框架”的分析——在梳理诸如适应等政策问题的框架方面非常有用。它们还可以揭示引导和指导公共和环境政策的基本假设。利用框架的理论概念分析了四个欧洲国家——瑞典、芬兰、英国和意大利——在不同治理尺度上的适应政策，并借鉴了这些国家的政策文件，以及对实践者的半结构化访谈，研究了适应政策进程的发展，特别是在这些进程中如何定义适应。确定了适应的四个主要框架：“规划”、“经济风险”、“脆弱性”和“现有措施”。这些框架影响适应的概念化、政策问题的界定以及最终政策的发展。
Climate change adaptation strategies are emerging across Europe as societies attempt to adapt to the challenges of a changing environment. Social constructivist analyses of environmental policy – especially those emphasising ‘framing’ – can be very useful in teasing out the framings of policy problems such as adaptation. They can also shed light on the underlying assumptions that steer and guide public and environmental policy. Using the theoretical concept of framing to analyse adaptation policies across different scales of governance in four European countries – Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom and Italy – and drawing on policy documents from those countries, as well as semi-structured interviews with practitioners, the development of adaptation policy processes and especially how adaptation has been defined within these processes are examined. Four major framings of adaptation are identified: ‘planning’, ‘economic risk’, ‘vulnerability’ and ‘existing measures’. These frames affect how adaptation is conceptualised, policy problems defined and, ultimately how policy develops.
