| Title | Multilevel governance of climate change action: a comparative case study of front-runner cities in the UK and Hungary |
| Summary | Cities are increasingly acknowledged as an appropriate governance level to tackle climate change. They are both causing as well as are affected by this global challenge. At the same time local authorities are imbedded into national and supranational institutional and policy contexts, which influence their ability to pursue climate targets at the municipal level. The thesis is an exploration of action against climate change in the urban context, from a multilevel governance perspective. It aims to uncover from a comparative viewpoint why cities, which often operate under resources constraints, engage in climate action and what are the steps of this process. Keywords: climate change action at the local level, multilevel governance of climate change action, climate friendly cities, Hungary, UK. |
