ABSTRACT
The chapters in this volume raise a number of critical questions about the study of cities in global climate governance regimes. Principal among these are factors affecting climate policy formation and implementation at the urban scale, the ways in which cities are engaging with global environmental governance processes and systems, the impact of international norms on urban and domestic climate politics and, more generally, the ways in which cities, transnational urban networks, national governments and global governance institutions may address the urban climate challenge.
