Dear colleagues, We would be grateful if you could help us circulate this call for papers for a proposed special issue of Environment and Planning C entitled "Novel multi-sector networks and entrepreneurship in urban climate governance."
This Special Issue aims to expand the urban climate change research agenda to include an examination of the drivers of emerging partnerships between small and medium-sized businesses, government, and non-state actors. The objective is to theorize small businesses as agents of change in the multi-level governance of climate change, and cities as niche spaces in which sustainable development paths might be explored. It aims to include case studies of major urban areas around the world that examine the drivers of emerging partnerships between various levels of government and small businesses in the interests of climate change mitigation.
