Abstract
How do subnational governments integrate climate change in their subnational policies in Italy and Austria? Are there any factors that may have a positive impact on this integration? These questions, which are largely understudied, were at the core of the research project ‘Climate change integration in the multilevel governance of Italy and Austria’, financed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Research Südtirol/Alto Adige 2019) from October 2020 to December 2022.
