Climate Change Adaptation in Mumbai, India: Rethinking the Role of Cities in the Global Climate Regime

Publikation: Beiträge in SammelwerkenAufsätze in SammelwerkenForschung

Authors

This chapter connects the more formal and emergent climate adaptation governance regime operating at multiple scales to everyday urban spaces, in the case of reoccurring flood events in Mumbai (Bombay), India. As the author Suketu Mehta describes in the quote above, the collective climate future of Mumbai links to that of the larger story arc of India. The chapter examines how this relationship scales up to the international community and extends to other cities and contexts in relation to climate adaptation governance.
