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. Local Action on Climate
Change examines how local climate change responses are emerging,
being operationalized and evaluated within a range of geographical
and socio-political contexts across the globe. Focussing on the
role and potential of local governments, non-government
organisations and community groups in driving transformative
change, the authors analyse how local climate change responses have
emerged and explore the extent to which they are or have the
potential to be innovative or transformative in terms of
governance, policy and practice change. Drawing on a diverse range
of case studies, including examples from Vanuatu, Japan, South
Africa, Australia, Sweden, the USA and India, this volume will be
of great interest to students and scholars of climate change,
environmental policy and governance, and sustainability.
