Social network Analysis
People are represented as nodes
Connections are represented as edges/lines.
Allows for analysis using mathematical graph theory
Connections may be kin, work, friendship, co-authorship, knowledge etc

Introduction to Rational
Why undertake this research?• Limited evidence empirical examples of SNA for climate policy.
• No ‘one size fits all’ approach to adaptation policy
• Every community is unique
Research Questions: • What is the influence of formal and informal networks on
communities?
• Who are the key actors in communities for climate adaptation policy knowledge exchange?
• Are there some similar characteristics between different communities and/or key actors?

MethodologyQUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE SNA
Semi-structured interviews with purposive snowball sampling including a cross-section of the community
Formal Federal government, State government, Local Government, Research Centres
Informal Non Government Organisations, Community Based Organisations
Key Questions:
Where do you access information about climate adaptation?
How do you share information about climate adaption?
