The Urban Climate Challenge
Rethinking the Role of Cities in the Global Climate Regime"This volume takes readers on a comprehensive tour through the world of urban carbon governance research and is sure to set the agenda for a new generation of cities and climate change researchers."—Michele M. Betsill, Colorado State University "If dangerous climate change is to be avoided, we need both adaptation and mitigation to be incorporated into urban investments, policies and planning everywhere. This needs strong engagement with local stakeholders (especially those most at risk) and strong support from national governments and global climate governance regimes. This book provides a valuable contribution to how this can be done and where responsibilities for this lie." —David Satterthwaite, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)

The Urban Climate Challenge
Drawing upon a variety of empirical and theoretical perspectives, The Urban Climate Challenge provides a hands-on perspective about the political and technical challenges now facing cities and transnational urban networks in the global climate regime. Bringing together experts working in the fields of global environmental governance, urban sustainability and climate change, this volume explores the ways in which cities, transnational urban networks and global policy institutions are repositioning themselves in relation to this changing global policy environment. Focusing on both Northern and Southern experience across the globe, three questions that have strong bearing on the ways in which we understand and assess the changing relationship between cities and global climate system are examined. The Urban Climate Challenge will be of interest to scholars of urban climate policy, global environmental governance and climate change. It will be of interest to readers more generally interested in the ways in which cities are now addressing the inter-related challenges of sustainable urban growth and global climate change.
