Proposes a framework to compare climate delivery modes in urban settings, aiding effective implementation.
Urban climate action has shifted from agenda-setting to delivery, yet existing knowledge offers limited tools for comparing how interventions are implemented across cities. Governance theories are analytically rich but too abstract for implementation. Case studies and practitioner toolkits are practically useful, but they document delivery mechanisms and enabling conditions inconsistently. This paper addresses this ‘missing middle’ by proposing five climate delivery modes: recurring, non-exclusive delivery configurations defined by a core mechanism of change and an enabling bundle required to activate them.
