The Bangladesh experience shows, that adaptation to climate change needs to be seen in conjunction with existing weather patterns, natural hazards and the natural resources systems. Moreover, adaptation to climate change has next to the technical content a socio-economic dimension in relation to the many societal and economic aspects of water and climate change. Adaptation, in terms of strategy making and implementation is thus embedded in a countries society, traditions, technologies, governance and policies. This means that adaptation strategy making and imple mentation, while focusing on the physical system and use of technologies, are pri marily cultural processes, with a struggle for meaning, sense making and sense giv ing to define the issues and challenges and formulate strategies and actions. Besides, the power related aspects of negotiation and decision making including budget al location for investments are evident as well. The BDP 2100 is in other words an expression of the politics of culture (De Heer, 2009, 2013).
