1. Introduction: The Power of Cities in Global Climate Politics -- 2. Understanding the Power of Cities in Global Climate Politics: A Framework for Analysis -- 3. Cities as Saviours? The Global Politics of Urban Climate Mitigation -- 4. Resilient cities? The Global Politics of Urban Climate Adaptation -- 5. Taking it to the Streets (and Beyond): The Power of Cities in Global Climate Politics.

There is now a palpable sense of optimism about the role of cities and transnational city-networks in global climate governance. Yet, amidst the euphoria, there is also a sense that the power that has been ascribed to - and frequently assumed by - cities has been overstated; that the power of cities and city-networks to make a difference in global climate politics is not what it appears. This book explores the implications of city-engagement in global climate politics, outlining a theoretical framework that can be used to understand the power of cities in relation to transnational city-networks, multinational corporations and nation-states. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of transnational governance, global environmental politics and climate change.
