“…Individual action is an important component in combatting climate change. 152 The concept of "reduce, reuse, recycle" is an excellent framework to help prioritize individuals' and households' climate mitigation strategies. These can be implemented in many different domains, including transportation (living car free and avoiding airline travel), energy (conserve and reduce energy at home, purchase decarbonized electricity), food (eating meatless and reducing waste), and other purchases (such as furniture, clothing, and consumables).…”

“…Large-scale behavioral changes require social pressures (policy, nudges, incentives, peer pressure) and are only possible when enough individuals demand action from businesses, non-profits, and government. 152,154 Therefore, becoming educated about climate change; sharing information with friends, families, and neighbors;…”

There is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change and increased pollution will have a profound and mostly harmful effect on human health. This review brings together international experts to describe both the direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as vector-borne disease incidence) health impacts of climate change. These impacts vary depending on vulnerability (i.e., existing diseases) and the international, economic, political, and environmental context. This unique review also expands on these issues to address a third category of potential longer-term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and environmental justice and education. This scholarly resource explores these issues fully, linking them to global health in urban and rural settings in developed and developing countries. The review finishes with a practical discussion of action that health professionals around the world in our field can yet take.

“…Collective action is when individuals come together for a common purpose and improve group outcomes (Van Laerhoven, 2010) at multiple levels of influence on climate adaptation decision-making (York et al, 2021). This study acknowledges collective action, similarly, focusing on efforts of individuals in collective action to act in an equitable manner to strengthen just urban climate adaptation through activism and social capital.…”

“…A growing literature in environmental governance explores the transformational potential of governance with collective decision mechanisms (Bowen et al, 2017;De Voogt and Patterson, 2019;Pahl-Wostl and Patterson, 2021;York et al, 2021). Here, learning by co-opting is understood that formal governance structures are enticing or forcing less powerful actors to their bidding.…”

Environmental policy research fails to integrate procedural and recognitional justice perspectives and collective actions in governance learning for just climate adaptations. Drawing on the insights of two cities experiencing climate impacts differently, Bergen (Norway) and Istanbul (Turkey), this paper assesses how collective actions influence different levels of governments (local to national) to learn from these actions to implement just climate actions in their localities. Using environmental justice (specifically recognition and procedural) and policy learning literature, we contextualize a three-governance learning typology that emerges through collective actions that may trigger governance structures for policy integration: governance learning by resisting, co-opting, and expanding. We identify what kind of learning is introduced to the existing governance structures in Bergen and Istanbul, and how that learning shapes or is shaped by the governance structures, local government in Bergen and local to national governments in Istanbul, while developing climate adaptation policies and actions. Overall, this paper shows what types of knowledge and information are incorporated or ignored after collective actions and how power mediates interactions between actors across multiple urban settings for just climate adaptation.
