Addressing the Climate Crisis

Reviews / Votes

"We shall not get to Net Zero without local action and Local and Regional Authority participation. This book shows how real subsidiarity works and how important it is. It's a clarion call to a Government which still hasn't made local government its partner in the battle against climate change. These are lessons to be learned at every level and their positive story gives us all renewed hope." -The Rt Hon John Gummer, Lord Deben, Chairman of the Committee on Climate Change "Local communities have emerged as influential drivers of action against climate change and important sources of institutional and behavioural innovation. This powerful book, written by a new generation of climate experts, provides a thoughtful introduction into the theory and practice of place-based climate action." -Professor Sam Fankhauser, Professor of Climate Change Economics and Policy, University of Oxford and Research Director, Oxford Martin Initiative on a Net-Zero Recovery "What does it mean to deliver place-based climate action, and how can we make that possible? Making a deliberate effort to engage with the complexity of climate action and the contradictions of place-based initiatives, this book points towards the potential for a new, more just, politics of climate change: a politics that puts people's voices at its center." -Professor Vanesa Castan Broto, Professor of Climate Urbanism, University of Sheffield and a lead author for the IPCC Working group II on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability. "There is real urgency to tackle the climate crisis and local action is playing a critical role in this. This book provides a rich set of contributions on the theoretical and practical applications of climate action which make an important contribution to the debate on what it means to deliver and assess action on climate change on the ground" -Miatta Fahnbulleh, Chief Executive, New Economics Foundation
