Local Climate Action

Cities and local authorities occupy a central role in climate mitigation. They are consumers and providers; they regulate access to resources and offer advice to their citizens. Because of this, adelphi is both investigating how local authorities can be best supported in climate mitigation and generating ideas for the optimisation of national support programmes. At the local level, adelphi advises decision- makers on the implementation of their own climate mitigation measures. To this end, adelphi is developing approaches in stakeholder mapping and analysing coordination requirements in order to unite the governing and implementing bodies in various dialogue formats, and intensifying stakeholders’ mutual learning at the local level.
