ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that the addressing the challenge of water governance in view of climate change requires the best of available knowledge, sensible ways to deal with the inherent uncertainties. It also argues that bridging diverging knowledge frames and networks. The chapter focuses on connecting knowledge frames and the knowledge networks. It outlines a dynamic view on knowledge frames and networks, by connecting conceptual developments on knowledge creation, interactive framing, and ways of knowing and configuration theory. The chapter further identifies key dimensions of frame diversity in the climate change debate, on the basis of a secondary analysis of a range of peer-reviewed empirical studies. It elaborates on the connective capacity needed for bridging knowledge frames and networks and the potential of boundary organizations, objects and experiences. It discusses the issues deserve a place on the climate and water governance research agenda and are convinced that an interactional theory of knowledge frames.
