social challenges and the existing development deficits  can go hand in hand with adaptation and mitigation  .

Facing governance challenges by including diverse stakeholders and encouraging and learning from community- based experiences has also presented the opportunity to improve adaptation strategies . An example of this is the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Plan of Santiago .
