“…The 2010 European Innobarometer Survey found that innovation in the Swedish public sector is much more bottom-up (initiated internally) rather than driven by policy mandate (Arundel & Hollanders, 2011). Lee & van de Meene, 2012;Meseguer, 2005). The survey question used to elicit the municipal learning network was: "What other municipalities have you drawn important lessons from within your field during the last election period (since January 2007)?"…”

“…Literature on urban policy mobilities (Jacobs, 2012;McCann, 2011) and policy diffusion (Krause, 2011;Lee & van de Meene, 2012) has begun to explore the mechanisms of policy transfer and diffusion between cities. Our research shares this interest in policy mobility and diffusion but approaches the issue from a different angle.…”

“…Institutional challenges, for example, will play a role in determining vulnerabilities and policy practice and differ widely across delta nations (Lebel et al 2013). The incongruence between national-level policies and locallevel adaptation action is echoed in various studies as an important issue with short-and long-term implications on planned adaptation (Hyder et al 2010;Lee and van de Meene 2012;Rao 2013). National and sub-national planning on the one hand and community-based adaptation on another tend to differ, with the former not adequate in addressing the social, environmental and institutional drivers of vulnerability (Bunce et al 2010), while locallevel adaptations have been reported as incremental with limited potential for up-scaling (Kates et al 2012).…”

Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in scholarship on adaptation to climate change. Peer-reviewed literature, governmental communiqués and reports are increasingly reporting formulated and implemented climate change adaptation policies, strategies and plans of action. A large part of this literature describes general policy strategies, while there is limited published work on adaptation interventions at the local scale. The generality of adaptation is not only limited to strategies but also in terms of coverage of regions believed to be highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Among such climate change ''hotspots'' where understanding on adaptation is limited are river deltas. Herein, this paper synthesizes selected literature on adaptation policy and practice in river deltas located in Africa and South Asia. A systematic review methodology was used to scan online knowledge portals for published papers and also unpublished government documents. The review characterizes the state of adaptation policy in African and South Asian deltas and identifies future research priorities targeting climate change adaptation in large delta regions.

“…Pioneering cities may acquire a "teacher" status that builds on the city's expertise in the context of TMCNs. "High levels of policy performance" attracts "information seekers" (Lee & van de Meene, 2012). So high-performers can expect more delegations from other cities and eco-tourists.…”

Green Attraction—Transnational Municipal Climate Networks and Green City Branding

In this article, we investigate the nexus of green city branding and municipal climate networks. In recent decades, a number of formal transnational municipal climate networks have emerged and their membership continues to increase. In parallel, city branding that is based on green policies, has gained importance. Based on quantitative and qualitative data, we assess how and to what extent German cities use their membership in transnational municipal climate networks to communicate green city brands. In contrast to our expectations, we encountered very few indications of green city branding efforts by German cities. Our analysis shows that in general, branding considerations only play a negligible role in the involvement of cities in transnational municipal climate networks or climate policies. Instead, it seems that German cities use their membership in climate networks, to genuinely improve local climate change strategies. We therefore suggest that research on green city branding should be more sensitive to the particular context of cities and efforts should be made to unveil the underlying motives for the communication of green policies.
