This chapter draws the theoretical framework of the book. Firstly, it presents a reflection on the discussions of scale in environmental governance literature and conceptualizes a framework of scale that addresses climate change governance. The framework is composed of three main categories including (i) scientific knowledge, (b) plans and policies, and (c) authorities of action. Within this trihedral frame, ‘practice’ is positioned as the social context in which these categories can interplay adaptively. Secondly, it introduces the chapters that exemplify the practice of governance around the world across different scales, with a particular focus on the social and spatial aspects of climate responsiveness. |
