Adaptive cities? Institutional innovation under climate change: A global survey of 96 cities: A global survey of 96 cities. April 2018

摘要: Are cities sufficiently prepared for climate change? Answering this question critically involves considering institutions. Institutions are the rights, rules and procedures that influence how multiple actors interact to make decisions and take action. This can include policies and laws, organizational setups, and coordination arrangements. Institutions influence to a large extent whether or not cities are adaptive in the face of evolving pressures, shocks, and societal expectations under climate change. Yet existing institutions are widely considered to be inadequately prepared for these challenges.
