Abstract
Explores causes and consequences of the influence of multi-level climate governance, i.e. interaction and integration of climate action developed by the different tiers of government (national, regional and local) in two EU countries: Italy and Spain. -Conclusions are drawn based on detailed compilation, review and analyses of climate change policies, strategies, plans and implementation programmes of 32 Italian cities and 26 Spanish cities. -The research identifies the importance of constructing collaborative multi-level climate frameworks at the national scale, that fully integrate the local level, in order to support cities to develop consistent climate action and raise awareness of the responsibility they have in this policy field.
