In Global Cities and Climate Change, Taedong Lee turns our attention to a critical but often neglected trans-local dimension of the urban response to climate change. At the heart of the book is the question of what shapes the participation of cities in transnational climate networks and how this shapes their capacity to act. In this detailed account, by connecting urban responses to the role of cities in the global economy Global Cities and Climate Change offers us an important new way to bring the local into the study of international climate politics. Harriet Bulkeley, Professor of Geography, Durham University, UK.
