A diplomacia de cidades como meio para difundir, formular e cooperar em direção a políticas de remediação de eventos climáticos extremos

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how governance networks among cities have emerged as an alternative to the gap left by traditional environmental governance between nation-states, which have shown limited cooperation in exchanging knowledge and formulating policies and actions to mitigate extreme climate events. The analytical framework will unfold along two lines: one focusing on the dynamics of Global Climate Governance and how it has been failing—thus prompting large city governments to assume a leading role—and another exploring examples of cities that have successfully implemented climate adaptation policies, especially through solutions that harmonize resilience and mitigation by proposing Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), which are already showing concrete results. The research will be based on bibliographic and documentary analysis, investigating initiatives aimed at forming networks of cities that collaborate in the formulation of urban resilience policies. Ultimately, the study argues that, despite their limitations, cities have been forming important alternative networks to confront and alleviate climate collapse
