Do City Climate Plans Reduce Emissions (2012, background): “…largely consists of cost-saving measures with short paybacks such as energy efficiency retrofits, or measures that address other municipal policy priorities such as local air pollution (Lambright and Changnon 1996; Collier 1997; Betsill 2001; Kousky and Schneider 2003; Slocum 2004; Burch 2010).”
The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, background): “…failings, which have been attributed to a variety of different barriers including weak or inconsistent, political leadership (Amunsden et al., 2010; Burch 2010; Hardoy et al., 2014; Hjerpe et al., 2014); institutional fragmentation or limitations (Biesbroek et al., 2011; Ekstrom & Moser 2014;…”
From barriers to limits to climate change adaptation: path dependency and the speed of change (2015, background): “One of the deep drivers of barriers to adaptation in Australia, and in many other countries, appears to be path dependency (Burch 2010, Garrelts and Lange 2011, Inderberg 2011, Eckstom and Moser 2014).”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “…this sense, it is critical to understand how existing path-dependent trajectories (e.g., socio-technical, behavioral, institutional) that form the contextual basis for climate change action at different scales (Burch, 2010) may inhibit (or help) the realization of future climate-resilient pathways.”
Climate policy innovation:The adoption and diffusion of adaptation policies across Europe (2014, background): “Others found that lack of time and human resources to invest on adaptation greatly hampered policy uptake (Moser and Luers, 2008; Biesbroek et al., 2013; Burch, 2010).”
