While adaptation to climate change is important, resilience thinking is the next step toward development of the adaptive capacity and transformability of structures in society in the face of ongoing climate related problems. Municipalities in Sweden have been struggling with adaptation in various degrees since this term has been used in practice since 2010. But there is more happening underneath the formal structures than we can imagine. Surprising developments have been detected through this project which was aimed at following up how municipalities are working with climate adaptation and resilience. Even though climate adaptation per se, is not implemented as such, as a program, plan or strategy. The internal bottom-up actions taken through terrific communication between departments, and through ambitious and well-educated staff and above that, informal transdisciplinary coordination of information. Are all components which indeed go above and beyond the term of climate adaptation. Thus, moving into the spheres of resilience thinking in social-ecological systems.
