A survey of urban climate change experiments in 100 cities

By Vanesa Castán Broto, H. Bulkeley. Global Environmental Change, 2013

950 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Highlights ► A database analysis reveals urban climate change experimentation as a global trend. ► Experimentation is a recent trend not confined to specific world regions or cities. ► Although experimentation is heterogeneous, energy experiments predominate. ► Multiple actors, often through partnership, intervene in urban climate change governance. ► A characteristic trend of experimentation led by private actors emerges in Asia.

• A typology of adaptation actions: A global look at climate adaptation actions financed through the Global Environment Facility (2014, result): “Similar work by Castán Broto and Bulkeley (2013) looked at different types of adaptation-related governance, identifying four modes: self-governing, provision, regulations, and enabling.”
• Experimenting towards a low-carbon city: Policy evolution and nested structure of innovation (2018, background): “Many cities have either committed or already made substantial efforts to reduce their ca rbon emissions, with various levels of ambitions and capacities (Broto and Bulkeley, 2013; Bulkeley et al., 2010).”
• Carbon footprints of 13 000 cities (2018, background): “Experimentation, iteration, and sharing success stories will be key to this process (Castán Broto and Bulkeley 2013).”
• Reconfiguring Urban Sustainability Transitions, Analysing Multiplicity (2017, background): “The danger this poses is that urban transitions become seen as almost limitless possibilities of combining elements (multiple experiments [12], forms of governance [13], conceptions of sustainability [14] and combinations of these).”
