Climate change adaptation in public policy: frames, fire management, and frame reflection Bosomworth, K 2015, 'Climate change adaptation in public policy: frames, fire management, and frame reflection', Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy, vol. 33, no. 6, pp. 1450-1466. Document type: Journal Article Collection: Journal Articles Title Climate change adaptation in public policy: frames, fire management, and frame reflection Author(s) Bosomworth, K Year 2015 Journal name Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy Volume number 33 Issue number 6 Start page 1450 End page 1466 Total pages 17 Publisher SAGE Publications Ltd Abstract The influence of framing on approaches to climate change adaptation is receiving increased attention. Using case study data, this paper proposes that appreciating how a policy sector currently frames itself can not only facilitate insights into how that sector may frame adaptation but also into a sector's adaptive capacity. From a new institutional perspective, this paper argues therefore that a frame reflective practice can aid policy sectors in building their capacity for adaptive, robust approaches to adaptation planning. A frame reflexive practice could enable policy sectors to appreciate how their current framing directs action towards particular policy options, potentially ignoring others, and how exploring the sector's issues through different frames could reveal a greater array of policy options than currently considered.
