| Περίληψη: | China has become one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) producers in the world,1 and successfully constraining GHG requires effective climate change mitigation actions in urban areas, where energy consumption and anthropogenic GHG emissions are highly concentrated. Studying climate change actions at the city level also provides a valuable window for understanding a country’s capacity to address climate change. However, to date most studies on climate change actions in urban areas have focused on cities in Western countries (e.g., Bestill and Bulkeley, 2007), with few detailed studies of this issue in China. This case study addresses this gap in the existing literature by studying climate change mitigation responses in Beijing. |
