Polycentric Planning for Climate Change

Lunchtime Forum

Many believe that a global approach is the best way to tackle climate change, but compliance with global emissions treaties is uneven and the system can be gamed. However, a “polycentric” approach — a bottom-up effort led by local, participatory multi-stakeholder groups — might be more effective; it could reach more stakeholders, increase cooperation and accelerate a response to climate change. Come explore how existing city policies are innovating to address climate change and mitigate the issues exacerbated by it. Co-presented by Shareable.
