Cities are central to both the problems and solutions of the climate crisis.

Climate change is often seen as a global issue that can only be resolved at the international negotiating table, but research shows that its causes and solutions are profoundly urban. Geographer Harriet Bulkeley FBA explains how experimental action in cities can empower local groups beyond government and policy, and considers the questions of ethics, justice and equity that these actions generate for our collective futures.
