Resumen: Las acciones de adaptación al cambio climático van a marcar la agenda política en los próximos años y décadas. De hecho, ya se están desarrollando actuaciones concretas en las escalas regional y local en España. La Comunidad Valenciana ha puesto en marcha diversas acciones, de planificación y normativa que en los últimos años están teniendo repercusión en la escala local. Los municipios no siempre entienden los beneficios de una planificación territorial sostenible, debido a que no ha habido tradición en nuestro país de actuaciones de sostenibilidad territorial. Se estudia esta cuestión haciendo mención a los ejemplos de buenas prácticas internacionales y se analizan tres iniciativas que suponen un cambio en la cultura territorial en el ámbito valenciano, impulsadas por el gobierno regional y que van a tener efectos concretos en la escala local en el marco del proceso actual de adaptación al proceso de calentamiento climático.   Palabras clave: planificación territorial sostenible; cambio climático; adaptación; escalas regional, subregional y local. Abstract: Actions to adapt to climate change will shape the political agenda in the coming years and decades. In fact, concrete actions are already being developed at the regional and local levels in Spain. Valencian Community has launched, in recent years, various actions, both planning and regulatory, that are having an impact on local scale. Municipalities do not always understand the benefits of sustainable territorial planning, because there has been no tradition in our country of territorial sustainability actions. This question is studied by mentioning the examples of international good practices and three initiatives that imply a change in the territorial culture in the Valencian territory, promoted by the regional government and that will have concrete effects on the local scale in the framework of the current process of adaptation to the global warming process.   Key words: sustainable spatial planning; climate change; adaptation; regional, subregional and local scales.

This study was part of broader PhD research which investigated how access to, and use of, information enhances adaptation to climate change and variability in the agricultural sector in semi-arid Central Tanzania. The research was carried out in two villages using Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory and model to assess the dissemination of this information and its use by farmers in their adaptation of their farming practices to climate change and variability. This predominantly qualitative study employed a post-positivist paradigm. Some elements of a quantitative approach were also deployed in the data collection and analysis. The principal data collection methods were interviews and focus group discussions. The study population comprised farmers, agricultural extension officers and the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa project manager. Qualitative data were subjected to content analysis whereas quantitative data were analysed to generate mostly descriptive statistics using SPSS.  Key findings of the study show that farmers perceive a problem in the dissemination and use of climate information for agricultural development. They found access to agricultural inputs to be expensive, unreliable and untimely. To mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and variability on farming effectively, the study recommends the repackaging of current and accurate information on climate change and variability, farmer education and training, and collaboration between researchers, meteorology experts, and extension officers and farmers. Moreover, a clear policy framework for disseminating information related to climate change and variability is required.
