Abstract

If cities are to meet the challenges of climate change, effective solutions must be anchored in an empowered city governance approach. Empowered city governance depends on building effective decision-making in this volatile policy field, in developing evidence-based policy-making, and in building strong city governments capable of performing as new sites of governance in global negotiations on climate change. The objectives of this paper are twofold: first, to map the core risks for cities associated with climate change; second, as a governance response, to build a more informed set of planning norms and practices, more effective infrastructure investment and urban management, and a more inclusive urban governance.
