Local Action on Climate Change: Opportunities and Constraints

There is growing interest in analysing the role and effectiveness of the local scale in responding to the global challenge of climate change.

However, while accounts of urban climate change governance are growing, there is now a real need for further conceptual and empirical work to better understand processes of change and uptake across a range of climate change actions.

This book examines how local climate change responses are emerging, being operationalised and evaluated within a range of geographical and socio-political contexts across the globe.
