In the field of responsibility and climate change, much attention has been paid to actions and what we need to do in order to take responsibility. This paper shifts the perspective from what we should do to how we should be in order to be responsible. Looking at the case of local adaptation to sea level rise, the question of what characterizes a responsible planner is addressed. Departing from the idea of professional virtues, aspirational characteristics are extrapolated from three codes of ethics for planners. The identified virtues are discussed in relation to the central challenges of adaptation to sea level rise, giving an indication of which virtues are most important in this given context. When placing the responsible planner in an institutional context, it is evident that while a virtue perspective should not replace a system analysis, it provides a valuable complement to the traditional action-focused discourse on responsible adaptation.

负责任地适应海平面上升的专业美德

在责任和气候变化领域，人们对行动和为承担责任需要采取的行动给予了极大关注。本文将观点从应该做什么转变为应该怎样做为了负责。在本地适应海平面上升的情况下，解决了负责任的计划者的特征的问题。不同于职业美德的观念，理想的特征是从规划者的三个道德准则中推断出来的。针对适应海平面上升的主要挑战讨论了已确定的优点，并指出了在这种情况下哪些优点最重要。当将负责任的计划者置于制度背景下时，很明显，尽管美德观不能取代系统分析，但它可以为传统的以行动为中心的负责任的适应性论述提供有价值的补充。
