Do Adaptive Policies Mean Effective Policies? Some Implications for Governing CCA and DRR

The presentation is from an APN funded research to identify adaptive policies and the effects of such responses. He addressed the questions of 1) how soon policies were introduced, 2) how frequently the policies underwent change, and 3) how effective the policies were in achieving their objectives. The study concluded that not all adaptive policies serve as effective policies, and that effective policies were dependent on a wider set of factors. A move from reactive governance towards predictive governance was proposed.
