[EN] The development of legitimate, operative, and feasible landscape adaptation planning for climate change is
dependent on the specific characteristics of the landscape and its inhabitants. Spatial patterns, culture, gover-
nance systems, socio-economic structures, planning methods, history, and collectively envisioned futures need to
be accommodated. The literature suggests that landscape is a complex and dynamic socio-ecological system, the
management and adaptation of which requires systemic and integrative approaches to respond to a wide variety
of drivers of change, challenges, and interests. Based on activities developed in 15 European pilot landscapes, we
identify some of the key factors and conditions affecting the generation of representative local networks for
landscape adaptation to climate change. We illustrate how social learning and co-creation processes can be
implemented in them and how their co-produced outcomes can help local communities overcome barriers and
address critical issues in adaptive planning. Our results provide a framework for the creation of similar networks
in other landscapes, exploring at the same time the interactions between the composition of networks, social
learning, and the quality of the co-produced outputs as a fundamental step for the development of Landscape
