Within the ecosystem of urban climate governance, Dr Deshpande seeks to understand the role of local institutions in pursuing urban climate policy or action in the Global South. Countries in the Global South are experiencing rapid urbanization and the city or municipal governments, operating under weak or under-developed governance structures, are struggling to meet the needs of a growing urban population. Under such circumstances it seems unlikely that these local institutions would possess the capacity to pursue urban climate action or policy. The aim of Dr Deshpande's research is to unpack urban climate policymaking and understand the role of local institutions in this process.
