Abstract

Abstract. Accelerating and more comprehensive legislation and litigation indicate a new significance of law in recent years within climate change politics. However, this development has been scarcely reflected upon in German-language geographical research on climate change adaptation, which primarily focuses on climate adaptation politics and policies. In order to illuminate these issues, this article engages with the political and legal scientific debates on juridification; reflects these in the context of climate adaptation; and traces the processes of juridification of climate policies in the German context from a historical perspective. Intersecting with insights from legal geography, this contribution introduces the concept of „Legal Ecologies of Climate Change Adaptation“ as a novel and legally nuanced perspective. Within human geographic climate adaptation research, this perspective opens up new theoretical and conceptual interests, empirical domains, and possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
