Abstract
Numerous scholars have argued that climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) have overlapping goals and similar strategies. However, the process of integration tends to encounter particular challenges. Most studies have claimed that the paramount difficulty was attributable to the two frameworks having their own independent administrative promotion structures. The implementation of climate policy has been greatly affected by multilevel governance (MLG). In the process of integrating DRR and CCA, MLG capability and the interrelationships between its various levels are important. The study presents the case of an emerging large-scale landslide hazard. In this study, we present an application of MLG and CCA to the large-scale landslide area in Shi-Ding District, New Taipei City. Considering the CCA pathway method as a tool and taking an emerging landslide hazard as an example to illustrate the relationship between multilevel capability assessment and environmental load. Besides, to minimize the systemic risk of internal conflicts, the capacity between the various levels must be considered to coordinate internal strategy formulation. © 2019, Chinese Soil and Water Conservation Society.
