Reviews
'This book is timely and compelling in addressing alignments of governance and climate change mitigation in the urban environment in China. [...] The analysis as a whole, with arenas appreciated and in-depth city assessments addressing contexts, dynamics and challenges in sectors so pertinent to climate change mitigation, neatly threads together theory and practice in making sense of urban environmental governance. In doing so, it is to be commended as adding considerably to a vital and ever-expanding body of literature and knowledge.' - Ian Thynne, Australian National University and University of Hong Kong 'the two authors make a serious scholarly and inspiring effort to advance the theoretical frontier and enrich knowledge by examining this quickly emerging topic of environmental protection in China from a governance perspective. ... their study has effectively achieved the objective of advancing a proper understanding of the governance dynamics and challenges of urban climate mitigation in Chinese cities, making an important contribution to the theoretical inquiry of environmental governance. This book will inspire further theoretical and empirical research efforts on climate change governance in general and in China in particular.' - Carlos Wing-Hung Lo, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University This specialist book fills some of that gap with a detailed look at policy formulation and implementation related to climate change in three important southern Chinese cities. There is a wealth of fascinating detail in this book. - Mark L. Clifford
