520 3 _aThis book comprises 13 chapters divided into four sections. The first section explores the cross-sectorial aspects of climate change governance, with a focus on the disconnect between the central and subnational levels of governance and on how climate change has become a contested policy arena. Section 2 explores three different empirical experiences by engaging with the subnational level of governance and using a central government-governed approach, an international non-governmental organization (NGO)-facilitated approach, and a local government-driven approach. Section 3 takes a political ecology view of climate change adaptation in rural areas and seeks to understand the dynamics of such adaptation where governance structures are weak or absent. Section 4 discusses two new trends that are under-explored in the climate change literature, namely mobility and regional agricultural trade. Finally, a concluding chapter seeks to draw conclusions across the rich empirical material in the case studies.
