Abstract

The importance of local stakeholders in the regional governments regarding climate change policies has received a deeper attention during the last years, especially include adaptation policies. The achievement of the European targets is the implementation of both mitigation and adaptation policies by providing multiple funds from European to sub-national level. The directives to combat the issues of climate heating system come from the international level to the regional one. However, European regions require a higher level of adaptation than mitigation commitments due to the vulnerability of the territories. This paper applies a network perspective in the Emilia Romagna region to map the level of climate commitment in the local stakeholders’ involvement. These local actors have been clustered to facilitate the investigation in order to uncover the way specific stakeholders has relevant impact on climate change issues. A particular consideration has been given to the degree of participation in adaptation policies
