Abstract:

It has become a mainstream policy in many countries to integrate targets and demands of climate change adaptation into spatial planning. This paper summarizes the characteristics of the four types of spatial governance tools (climate adaptation regulation zone, climate adaptation spatial corridor, climate function map and climate adaptation technical regulations) for climate adaptation in Germany by exploring their usages and applications in spatial planning at different levels. The results show that the spatial governance tools for climate adaptation in Germany can apply to multiple spatial scales, emphasize NbS (Nature-based Solution), and provide refined hierarchical spatial governance policies. Based on the practical requirements of spatial planning in China, this paper proposes optimization suggestions on the improvement of spatial governance tools for climate adaptation in China from three aspects: creating the spatial governance toolbox for climate adaptation matching the spatial planning system, strengthening the integration of blue-green-grey infrastructure for climate adaptation, and innovating refined climate adaptation spatial policies with spatial adaptability.
