Community Governance And Citizen-Driven Initiatives In Climate Change Mitigation (Routledge Advances In Climate Change Research)

This book focuses on the collaborative arrangements being developed where citizen initiatives, engagement and participation in climate change mitigation meets public agencies and their possible plans and strategies. One of key conclusions presented in the book is that the traditional approach to influence environmental behavior, characterized by top-down and individual approaches, does not suffice to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our societies, and must be supplemented by approaches that focus more explicitly on the collaboration between local collective initiatives and local governments.
