Prospects for transformation towards CRD increase when key governance actors work together in inclusive and constructive ways through engagement in political, knowledge-technology, ecological, economic and socio-cultural arenas . Yet the interactions between key governance actors involve struggles and negotiations in addition to collaborations . Transformative actions meet resistance by precisely the political, social, knowledge and technical systems and structures they are attempting to transform  . There is expanding evidence that many adaptation efforts have failed to be transformative, but instead entrenched inequities, exacerbated power imbalances and reinforced vulnerability among marginalised groups and that, instead, marginalised groups and future trends in vulnerability need to be placed at the centre of adaptation planning  . Beyond the enablers, drivers or modalities, another question tackled in the literature is how to evaluate transformation by establishing criteria for transformation assessments , experience-based lessons on managing transformative adaptation processes , climate policy integration , investment criteria  and political economy analysis frameworks for climate governance .
