Abstract
The Utrecht Law Review is an open-access peer-reviewed journal which aims to offer an international academic platform for cross-border legal research. In the first place, this concerns research in which the boundaries of the classic branches of the law (private law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, European and public international law) are crossed and connections are made between these areas of the law, amongst others from a comparative law perspective. In addition, the journal welcomes research in which classic law is brought face to face with not strictly legal disciplines such as philosophy, economics, political sciences and public administration science.The journal was established in 2005 and is affiliated to the Utrecht University School of Law.

Highlights
As a result of climate change, increasing flood risks as well as droughts are expected to occur more frequently in river basins.[1, 2, 3] Precipitation patterns in the Rhine basin will change in winter, with up to a 15% increase in the near future and a 25% increase in the far future, while in the summer a decrease of between 10% and 30% is expected.[4]
The main objective of this paper is to identify characteristics of policy arrangements that may facilitate or constrain cross-border climate change adaptation in river basins
The Netherlands has relatively more financial assets available for climate adaptation than North Rhine-Westphalia, as we are counting billions in the Netherlands and millions in North Rhine-Westphalia,[179] which can be explained by the concurrence with the importance of a safe delta and a high prioritization of water management in the Dutch policy arrangement
