Working effectively with local stakeholders using available data for climate and energy action

Climate governance helps local governments to leverage opportunities and overcome barriers for climate action planning and implementation. It also supports effective stakeholder engagement to influence national and subnational policies, secure financing, attract political support and deliver complex cross-sectoral actions.

Subnational and municipal climate action planning also requires a well-structured process for involving local stakeholders across sectors that represent the citizens, local businesses, associations, utilities and the public administration. Only active stakeholder involvement can foster a sense of ownership for achieving the goals of climate action supporting the long-term commitment of the affected stakeholders.

This report from ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability presents solutions and action plans for decision-makers and local governments to engage relevant stakeholders with climate action in their region.
