Towards Transformative Climate Governance: Capacities and Constraints for Local Government in Aotearoa New Zealand

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An emerging consensus calls for transformative climate governance. However, what instigates and sustains transformative pathways remains unclear. This study characterises the existence, quality and structural underpinnings of transformative governance capacities in local government climate change response in Aotearoa New Zealand, applying a ...

Toward Comprehensive Climate Action: Assessing Mitigation Approaches Across Canadian Municipalities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local governments are widely regarded as key leaders in the global response to climate change. Understanding if and how municipalities commit to climate mitigation is crucial for assessing their contribution to global emission‐reduction goals and identifying barriers to effective climate transitions.

Bridging Policy Gaps in Transition Times: How Local Actors Navigate Low Policy Coherence for Advancing a Circular Built Environment

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The construction sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for over one‐third of global energy‐related CO2 emissions. In response, the European Commission identified the circular economy as a means of achieving green growth and prioritized the construction sector in its Circular Economy Action Plan.
