Material and ideational resources include political authority, knowledge of adaptation science and national/local policy-making processes, financial resources and strong relations with international non-governmental organizations and donor agencies. In Nepal, local adaptation plans of action (LAPA) are designed to respond to community adaptation needs and for implementing adaptation strategies to reduce long-term climate risks. However, studies show that LAPAs are in actuality short-term in nature. The article focuses on what is happening during an interaction between actors, theorizing power as an interactional phenomenon and fundamental in human relations. As better long-term planners, the inclusion of women may redress some design limitations.
