AB The article examines the complexity of climate changeadaptation, particularly in coastal regions, with a specific focus on the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region insoutheast Brazil. As an area directly exposed to climaterisks, this dynamic region provides a valuable case studyfor 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 structureinteract to address climate change adaptation. The paperconducted semi-structured interviews with institutionalrepresentatives to unravel the dynamics of climate adaptation efforts. Results reveal the absence of a unified climateagenda, with interactions primarily manifesting throughthe 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 betweenclimate change adaptation and integrated coastal zone management within the metropolitan context. The findings notonly contribute to comprehending climate adaptation in other coastal urban cities at the metropolitan governance levelbut also provide insights into addressing a diverse range of socio-environmental changes across different levels of engagement in climate policies or adaptation initiatives.
