Abstract
The article discusses climate change adaptation in two Russian cities. As a policy challenge, climate change adaptation in Russia is characterised by not having been defined as one policy area. In addition to the sectors of emergency control and hydro-meteorological management, also nature protection, urban planning, public health and municipal infrastructure are involved in activities relevant for climate change adaptation. The study identifies elements of governance networks and mixes of governance modes within these policy fields but to a very little degree across them. The chapter argues that urban climate change adaptation beyond mere incremental measures is likely to benefit from forms of network governance between authorities (urban planning agencies), civil society (like residents and environmental groups) and business (developers and insurance companies).
