Understanding the implementation of nature-based solutions: A case study on the Lower Saxony Coastal Protection Agency (NLWKN), Germany"^^ . "This thesis analyses the current state of coastal protection in Lower Saxony by\r\nexamining the integration of nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate change\r\nadaptation, focusing particularly on the perceptions of the heads of planning within\r\nthe Lower Saxony Coastal Protection Agency (NLWKN) and the influencing factors.\r\nBy analysing the legal framework, strategic plans and interviews, the study shows that\r\ntraditional engineering solutions prevail, in particular the dyke structures prescribed\r\nby the Dyke Act and the Master Plan for Coastal Protection. While historical practices\r\ncharacterise the current discourse, the East Frisian Islands offer a more balanced\r\nperspective that combines natural features with engineered solutions. The climate\r\nadaptation strategy signals a shift towards nature-based coastal protection that\r\nemphasises resilience and sustainability. The attitude of NLWKN heads of planning\r\nshows strong support for NBS, emphasising sustainability, adaptation to natural\r\nprocesses and contextual approaches. However, there are still challenges related to\r\nuncertainty, spatial planning and stakeholder coordination. Several factors that\r\nimpact the implementation of NBS, including funding, legal complexity and potential\r\nfuture resource constraints were revealed by the the analysis of perceived behavioural\r\ncontrol. The influence of dyke associations and legal frameworks, in particular the\r\nDyke Act and the Master Plan for Coastal Protection, prove to be significant hurdles.\r\nIn conclusion, the study argues in favour of a paradigm shift towards integrated and\r\nnature-oriented coastal protection. Recommendations include awareness strategies\r\nfor greater awareness of NBS among the population, clearer definitions of NBS in\r\nclimate adaptation strategies and the promotion of cooperation dialogues."^^ .
