Adapting Governance for Change

Abstract

Over time, communities develop institutions and processes for making decisions, setting policies, or sharing power that work for their particular circumstances. When social, economic, technological, or ecological conditions are relatively stable, rigid governance structures can work well, allowing sustainable use of natural resources for decades or centuries. When conditions change rapidly, however, rigid governance structures frequently weaken or fail. To govern and manage effectively in the face of rapid change, we need legal and regulatory mechanisms that facilitate responsive, effective conservation and management.
