Abstract
Future weather events challenge local governments to make climate adaptive policies. Because of the multi-faced character of the impacts of these events, municipalities aim to integrate climate adaptation into their sectoral policies. This means that investments need to be made for future benefits. Some Dutch municipalities are more advanced in their efforts than others. This research aims to learn from successful examples in order to find out why and how heat stress can be prioritised by local authorities. The data for this research has been acquired through a qualitative case study of nine different municipalities. Results of this research are that through discourse, the problem of heat is being concretised, by practicing with pilots, possible couplings can be explored, and that political awareness is influenced by experiencing climate adaptation and by forming partnerships with proponents.
