Abstract: Adapting to the social, economic, environmental, and health threats resulting from climate change requires successful multilevel governance and improved decision‐making processes. In this study, we evaluate explanatory relationships that support climate change adaptation. Based on the existing literature, we develop and apply a mixed‐methods approach to examine refined drivers of the vulnerability‐readiness nexus. This study examines the context of multilevel governance and the role of anticipatory adaptation in coping with climate risks at the county level in the U.S. Mississippi River Basin between 1990 and 2010. Our focus is on adaptation to climate change within the context of multilevel governance. Our results suggest that anticipatory adaptation and higher levels of regional capacities are particularly effective in adapting to climate change. 要适应气候变化对社会，经济，环境和健康的威胁，就需要成功的多层治理和完善的决策流程。 在这项研究中，我们评估了支持气候变化适应的解释性关系。在现有文献的基础上，我们开发并应用了一种混合研究方法来检查脆弱性就绪联系的精炼驱动程序。这项研究考察了1990年至2010年美国密西西比河流域县级政府在应对气候风险时的多层次治理背景和预期适应的作用。我们的重点是在多层治理的背景下适应气候变化。 我们的结果表明，预期性适应和更高水平的区域能力在适应气候变化方面特别有效 关键词：气候适应，气候治理，科学政策整合，脆弱性 Adaptarse a las amenazas sociales, económicas, y amenazas a la saludque resultan de cambio climático requiere una gobernanza multinivel exitosa y mejores procesos de toma de decisiones. De esta manera, evaluamos las relaciones explicativas que apoyan la adaptación al cambio climático. Con base en la literatura existente, desarrollamos y aplicamos un múltipules métodos para examinar los impulsores refinados del nexo de la vulnerabilidad‐la preparación. Este estudio examina el contexto de la gobernanza multinivel y el papel de la adaptación anticipada para hacer frente a los riesgos climáticos a nivel de regíon en la U.S. cuenca del río Misisipientre 1990 y 2010. Nuestro enfoque está en la adaptación al cambio climático dentro del contexto de la gobernanza multinivel. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la adaptación anticipada y los niveles más altos de capacidades regionales son particularmente efectivos para adaptarse al cambio climático.
