This book provides local governments and interested stakeholders
with insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in
addressing climate change. Drawing on in-depth case study research
on Vancouver, Portland, Glasgow and Dublin, Dekker examines the
policy development processes employed by urban policy makers to
respond to climate change, looking specifically at the utilisation
of collaborative planning. Emerging from the case studies are
lessons for local governments in relation to the role of
organisational structure in supporting climate leadership; the
importance of leadership, trust, relationship building and
narratives for supporting ownership of the responses to climate
change by stakeholders; and the need for creative and innovative
public engagement to expand the reach of traditional methods such
as social media and other technology-based solutions. Finally,
Dekker reflects on her experience in the development of climate
change action plans for the Dublin Local Authorities. This book
will be of great relevance to students, scholars and policy makers
with an interest in climate change resilience, environmental policy
and urban planning.
