In this paper, we reflect on the role of cities in responding to climate change over the two decades since the historic agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. We find a growth in the scale and nature of municipal resp... Read More about Bringing climate change to the city: towards low carbon urbanism?.

A survey of urban climate change experiments in 100 cities (2012)

Governance and the geography of authority: modalities of authorisation and the transnational governing of climate change (2012)
Journal Article

Within debates about the emergence and nature of governance, it has become commonplace to debate the whereabouts and possibilities of authority. Traditionally, authority is conceived as a property of some actor or institution and is regarded as divis...

Crossing the threshold: municipal waste policy and household waste generation (2009)
Journal Article
Bulkeley, H., & Gregson, N. (2009). Crossing the threshold: municipal waste policy and household waste generation. Environment and Planning A, 41(4), 929-945. https://doi.org/10.1068/a40261

This paper connects research on home-based consumption with research on waste policy and governance. We argue that, in order to meet the enhanced goals of waste reduction specified in Waste Strategy for England 2007, UK municipal waste policy needs a...
