National authorities in many countries aim at having climate change adaptation mainstreamed into existing policy domains in order to achieve coherence and synergies, and to avoid mal-adaptation. Because of local variations in climate change impacts, the lion's share of climate adaptation work will have to take place at the local level. This means also that the mainstreaming process needs to occur locally. This article examines the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into existing sectors in five Norwegian municipalities. Applying theories of mainstreaming and policy integration we find that policy development is slower, but perhaps more robust in the municipalities that have chosen a horizontal, cross-sectoral approach to mainstreaming than in the municipalities that have chosen a vertical sector approach to mainstreaming.

Mydske, Per Kristen (2001). Global Goals and National Implementation in Scandinavia. Show summary
International policies are increasingly affecting national states, creating dependencies and implementation challenges as well. Some experiences of implementation of environmental policies in the Scandinavian countries are discussed, concentrating on some national factors affecting both the effectiveness and efficiency of it. In addition references are made to a comparative study of the implementation of international agri-environmental policies in the Nordic and Baltic countries; more precisely the carrying out of the reduction targets of pollution to water from the North Sea Agreement, the Baltic Sea Agreement and EU policies in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the three Baltic countries. The article is restricted to the Nordic cases. At the bottom is the question whether there is some specific Scandinavian model or models.
