Abstract
Urban areas considered to be both sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerable locations to climate impacts can potentially play important roles in combating the problems posed by climate change (in pursuing mitigation and adaptation policy). This study argues the developments concerning the role of (urban) local governments in governing climate change, adopting governance theory as theoretical framework for analysis. Although there are several problems in designing and implementing a coherent local climate policy, it seems that local governments all over the world are gradually becoming prominent actors in global climate governance. Therefore, how to improve urban governance capacity in dealing with climate change problems is now on the local policy agenda worldwide.
