New South Wales Government 24/3/2026 News Adaptive policing, sustainability, and climate change in The Netherlands Climate change has long been recognized not solely as an environmental concern, but as a cascading societal challenge with far-reaching governance implications spanning various sectors (Moser and Ekstrom 2010; Watts et al. 2015). This resonates with Aykut and Maertens’ (2021) understanding of climatization as a fluid social process that not only broadens climate governance but also reshapes political and institutional priorities, as climate-related concerns are strategically reframed and inserted into the agendas of diverse actors. There are already significant bodies of research on climate adaptation in the fields of public health, urban planning, disaster preparedness, and emergency management; however, policing represents a new frontier for climatization and adaptive governance research and policy innovation. In fact, a body of literature on policing and climate change has only emerged in the past five years, but it remains largely exploratory and theoretical in focus. This is in large part attributable to the complexities and uncertainties associated with climate change as a new and emerging ‘harm landscape’ (Berg and Shearing 2018), along with the significant challenges it poses to the democratic governance and delivery of public safety worldwide (Matczak 2025). Against this backdrop, Blaustein et al. (2024) argue that police must acknowledge the disruptive and catastrophic risks posed by climate change and develop institutional measures that support adaptability and improve the systemic integration of policing as a part of broader adaptive governance and sustainability initiatives. That is, policing must align itself with this broader, emergent paradigm of research and policy that seeks to govern complex problems through ‘multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs), interpreted as multiplicity of organizations at different scales of governance working towards more coordinated and integrated actions’ (Djalante 2012: p. 2923).1 Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 24/3/2026 Research article Police Commissioner loses court bid to keep ‘alleged conduct’ of cops suppressed AUSTRALIA: NT Police Commissioner Martin Dole has lost a legal bid to keep "serious allegations" about misconduct of officers made by a former assistant commissioner...
