dc.description.abstractCape Town is internationally renowned for its beaches and coastal beauty. In an effort to reduce storm surge and sea-level damage due to climate change, coastal municipalities in South Africa have begun to implement set-back policies in line with the country’s Integrated Coastal Management Act. What was not anticipated were the divergent policy interpretations and resistances encountered from within public sector directorates with the same broad mandate. The paper suggests that the influence of different mentalities, technologies, resources and institutional frameworks are the norm when dealing with adaptation to climate change. Recognizing and managing these differences is critical.en
