The transformative potential of local-level planning and climate policies. Case studies from Norwegian municipalities
We analyse whether and how current municipal climate policies can be characterised as transformative and which factors and pathways may lead to transformative change at the municipal level.

We argue that municipalities’ engagement in transforming towards…

Here we…

This extends the scope of what we normally expect o…

Based on empirical locality studies in the Circumpolar Northern context, the article introduces the concept of coping strategies. Coping strategies include three dimensions: innovation, networking and formation of identity. These dimensions and the ways in which they are interrelated are considered to be important to the forms of local d…
