IGU COMMISSION GEOGRAPHY OF GOVERNANCE (IGU-CGoG)
ACTION PLAN ON 'LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND CLIMATE EMERGENCY' - Goals
The IGU Commission on Geography of Governance Action Plan on 'Local Governance and Climate Emergency' is an international collaborative research platform that seeks to survey, examine, and compare the responses of local government to the global climate emergency. It seeks to collect and to curate a list of resources related to the strategies, plans, policy measures, and actions taken by local government, across the globe, towards the Climate Emergency, and its outcomes and impacts.
The "IGU-CGoG Action Plan on Climate Emergency" has three main goals:
1. First, it aims to collect evidence of the strategies, plans, policy measures, and actions taken by local government around the world towards the Climate Emergency, making it available for those engaged in the design of future local government actions.
2. Second, to promote joint comparative research on the responses of local government towards Climate Emergency, its outcomes and impacts, and lessons for the future, to be carried out by members of the IGU Commission on Geography of Governance, and other interested partners.
3. Third, to present, discuss, and publish the outcomes of the comparative research on the worldwide responses of local government towards the Climate Emergency, in conferences, specific meetings and/or panels, as well as in publications, in 2022, 2023, and 2024, as part of the activity plan of the IGU Commission on Geography of Governance.
