Urban climate adaptation through nature-based solutions (NBS) requires collective action that incorporates spatial justice considerations. Collective actions reveal new ways of thinking about urban green commons and by reframing conventional understandings NBS, space, adaptation.

Using qualitative data collected from fieldwork carried out 2019, we find critical relationships between activists, academics, professional organizations, residents collectively acting to promote commons. do not rely on dominant techno-political processes generate primarily infrastructure-based Istanbul.

What rhetorical strategies are populist far-right parties using to delay regional decarbonization?

We identify by actors decarbonization: (1) politicizing decarbonization, (2) reframing cultural values form alliances with anti-decarbonization movements, (3) dismantling key institutions. show that in European prevalent vary widely.

Responsive land-use policy amid climate change in urban settings includes infrastructure transformation and necessitates recognizing community- individual-level vulnerabilities as well climate-driven injustices, which are isolated the existing literature. This paper highlights how policies set nine cities of Turkey identify vulnerable groups individuals, develop to address identified justice concerns. Employing content analysis expert interviews, we find critical relationships between groups, responsive policy, justice. While social-aid municipalism-related dominate districts' policies, nature-based solutions (NBS), especially green agriculture, emerge dominant adaptation solutions.

Environmental policy research fails to integrate procedural and recognitional justice perspectives collective actions in governance learning for just climate adaptations. Drawing on the insights of two cities experiencing impacts differently, Bergen (Norway) Istanbul (Turkey), this paper assesses how influence different levels governments (local national) learn from these implement their localities. Using environmental (specifically recognition procedural) literature, we contextualize a three-governance typology that emerges through may trigger structures integration: by resisting, co-opting, expanding. We identify what kind is introduced existing Istanbul, shapes or shaped structures, local government national while developing adaptation policies actions.
