CITIES RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE - STEPHEN J...

This book explores the climate policy approaches established by various city governments. It
details the strategies  plans and initiatives that have so far been designed to both mitigate
and adapt to the impacts of global warming. In doing so  it considers the implications of the
actions taken by leading cities and its effects on underlying theoretical assumptions relating
to policy development and management processes in achieving climate policy outcomes. Cities
Responding to Climate Change establishes an analytical framework that critically examines the
application of performance management by city governments in their policy responses to climate
change. It draws its focus on the city governments of Copenhagen  Stockholm and Tokyo to bring
together and discuss the concepts  strategies and practices that have since been introduced to
respond to the climate challenges faced. This book highlights the lessons to be learned by
other city governments around the world contemplating serious action with climate policies to
lessen the impacts of global warming. It will be of particular interest to practitioners and
researchers seeking evidence of how governments deliver on their commitments and improve their
effectiveness in implementing climate polices.
