MULTI-LEVEL GOVERNANCE AND PLACE-BASED POLICY-MAKING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION: The European Experience and Lessons for British Columbia.

The article focuses on how the European Union (EU) has responded to climate change adaptation and mitigation and how a similar approach can be taken by the government in British Columbia. The authors explain that most mitigation efforts around the world have failed to reverse global warming, causing a great need for adaptation policies. They discuss the importance of trans-municipal efforts to address climate change, explore how local and federal governments in the EU are working together on this issue, and analyze policy programs implemented by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment.
