Description
Urban Climate Politics: Agency and Empowerment provides a comprehensive analysis of how cities are becoming central actors in global climate governance. Edited by leading scholars Jeroen van der Heijden, Harriet Bulkeley, and Chiara Certomà, this Earth System Governance volume examines the mechanisms through which urban governments, communities, and individuals exercise agency in addressing climate change.
The book explores innovative governance arrangements, policy instruments, and social movements that empower cities to take independent climate action. It demonstrates how urbanization creates both challenges and opportunities for climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through case studies and theoretical frameworks, the authors illustrate how cities are leveraging their economic, political, and social resources to implement transformative climate solutions, often outpacing national governments in ambition and implementation.
