This paper analyses the structure of local, regional and national
stakeholders that might be relevant for a transition of Hyderabad
into a low-carbon megacity. The main angle of the stakeholder
selection in this report is de ned by the leading question of our
research: How do (local) lifestyle dynamics contribute to climate
change, and how can lifestyle changes help to reduce local
emissions and the vulnerability to global climate change? Our
analysis reveals that climate change actually is a medium to low
attention issue for the majority of stakeholders in Hyderabad (as
in India in general). At the same time, the identi ed minority of
individual or collective actors that actually do rate climate
change higher on their agendas have the potential to form a
critical mass for socioecological change in the city if (1) they
improve their cooperation, if (2) institutional reforms in the
urban space increase their impact, and if (3) they manage to align
with a still 'silent majority' of stakeholders that by now rate
climate change to be of minor relevance. The latter point is based
on another key nding of our analyses: Actors with high structural
power (based either on political, economic or network power) might
be turned into potential 'allies' of a low-carbon strategy, if (1)
they can interpret adaptation and mitigation options as new
opportunities in their option space, (2) climate issues are more
closely linked to sustainability issues, and (3) they perceive
institutional reforms and stakeholder involvement as being bene
cial for their daily operations. From these insights we derive some
consequences for future pilot projects and policy advice.
