abstract = {The article examines the complexity of climate change
adaptation, particularly in coastal regions, with a specific focus on the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region in
southeast Brazil. As an area directly exposed to climate
risks, this dynamic region provides a valuable case study
for understanding the challenges and developing governance solutions. The study explores the multi-level governance framework involving national, state, and local policies, examining how organizations within this structure
interact to address climate change adaptation. The paper
conducted semi-structured interviews with institutional
representatives to unravel the dynamics of climate adaptation efforts. Results reveal the absence of a unified climate
agenda, with interactions primarily manifesting through
the implementation of public policies, educational projects, and NGO initiatives in local and regional forums. The research identifies barriers, challenges, and recommendations, stressing the imperative for a realignment between
climate change adaptation and integrated coastal zone management within the metropolitan context. The findings not
only contribute to comprehending climate adaptation in other coastal urban cities at the metropolitan governance level
but also provide insights into addressing a diverse range of socio-environmental changes across different levels of engagement in climate policies or adaptation initiatives.},
