| Summary: | In the Acadian Peninsula, the main preoccupations regarding climate change are the increase in coastal erosion and flooding. Management of current and future risks associated with these phenomena constitutes a major challenge for the communities of this territory. Several projects to improve the resilience of these communities in the face of climate change have thus been conducted since 2008. We are interested in the influence that the carriers of these projects have had on the development of adaptation strategies, particularly in their role as frontier or intermediary organizations. We note that the adaptation approaches contributed to the development of relationships of trust between key adaptation actors and enabled the co-production of knowledge and the transfer of information. In a context where the central government is not likely to impose adaptation approaches, the work of organisms and people that facilitate exchanges between researchers, citizens, administrators, local elected officials, and state representatives is crucial to the emergence of co-constructed adaptation strategies that are operational locally and regionally. Nevertheless, it is difficult to know, at this point, if this work will result in the creation of a durable collective that could decisively influence regional governance. We also question to what extent the regional actors of adaptation can rely on organisations that act as intermediaries, but who are above all dedicated to research, to implement a regional and collaborative adaptation process. |
