“…The city of Phoenix has been strongly influenced by state and federal actions, especially in water management, large-scale infrastructures and real estate developments. The top-down urban growth regime, spurred on by the state legislative, removed land-use authority from the municipal government (Gammage et al, 2008) and allowed non-local development capital to gain power over local land-use politics and inevitably focus on higher density infill developments for their lucrative returns. (Stanley, 2016) The above-mentioned services and sectors must also be resilient to the effects of climate change; therefore, they are essential components to effectively implement actions for decarbonization in the city.…”

“…The MLG paradigm is essential to emphasize local governments' capacity to participate in norm domestication processes through interacting with multiple institutions, within and beyond the city or the national borders. In climate change governance and policy scholarship, MLG is contextualized to better understand the interplay between transnational climate networks, policy organizations (both at global, national, and local levels), national rules and regulations, as well as policy entrepreneurs and civil society, in the promotion of local climate actions (Garcia Hernandez & Lucatello, 2022; Kukkonen et al, 2018; Lovell, 2016).…”

Research on norm domestication in multi‐level governance structures is overlooked in urban climate governance and policy literature. This paper conceptualizes multi‐scalar interactions of norm domestication for local climate actions. The city of Phoenix, which operates under the “purple” (blue cities and red legislatures) state of Arizona, is analyzed to illustrate how a local government can take up the climate actions left in the void at the state and federal levels. The empirical findings reveal important temporal politics at the state level that influenced the local government's climate norm domestication. The period of Democratic party leadership diffused climate norms at the state‐level and positioned the local government more as a climate policy‐taker, adopting decisions from the state legislature. Swings in the state‐level executive orders under the subsequent period of Republican leadership, however, forced the local government to seek some common ground for norm domestication, usually related to the nonpartisan goals of economic development. Consequently, local climate actions are subject to depoliticization of climate change from the higher‐level governance structures. Overall, decarbonization targets are not being directed in ways that lead to a broader shift in the socio‐technical system but would support short‐term emission reductions if multiple institutions, both at the state and sub‐state levels, created spaces for collaboration rather than competition.

State and local public health agencies are at the forefront of planning and responding to the health challenges of climate hazards but face substantial barriers to effective climate and health adaptation amidst concurrent environmental and public health crises. To ensure successful adaptation, it is necessary to understand and overcome these barriers. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Climate-Ready States and Cities Initiative (CRSCI) provides funding to state and local health departments to anticipate and respond to health impacts from climate change using the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework. This paper explores the barriers to and enablers of successful adaptation projects among BRACE West CRSCI grantees, including Arizona, California, Oregon, and the city and county of San Francisco. The barriers included competing demands such as the COVID-19 pandemic, dependence on partners with similar challenges, staff and leadership turnover, uncertain and complex impacts on at-risk populations, and inadequate resources. The enablers included effective partnerships, leadership support, dedicated and skilled internal staff, and policy windows enabling institutional change and reprioritization. These findings highlight effective strategies in the field that state and local health departments may use to anticipate potential barriers and establish their work in an environment conducive to successful adaptation.
