Mainstreaming climate adaptation and mitigation policy: Towards multi-level climate governance in Melaka, Malaysia
Cities' responses to the challenge of climate change mainly relate to urban spatial planning and capacity-building initiatives. Those are enhanced by supportive climate adaptation policies at the sub-national level, which open up potential benefits and opportunities. Using the city of Melaka as...

This framework is evaluated by horizontal and vertical dimensions which assess policy actions designed to close the gap between national and local levels.
