New publication - The Diverse Cities of Global Urban Climate Governance

[Marielle Papin]

Dear all,

 

I would like to share my and Jacob Fortier’s latest publication in Global Policy on the diverse cities of global urban climate governance.

 

In this article, we seek to identify and analyse the characteristics and position of cities in global urban climate governance to reassess its composition. To do so, we conduct a social network analysis of 15 transnational city networks. Results emphasise that global and large cities are the most central, but small and middle-size cities are the most numerous actors of the system. Global South cities are larger than their Northern counterparts in the system. Those less central and understudied actors likely have less influence over which norms are shared, yet they should not be seen as followers or imitators of climate policy.

I think/hope it will be of interest to several of you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Marielle
