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.

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.
