Abstract
This section first analyses the national policy response and characterizes the new
climate change policy arena as compared with the more established disaster and
emergency response policies. Thereafter the institutional landscape involved with
climate change is mapped. This is followed by an assessment of the relationship
between national policy and local government practice by introducing the principle
of subsidiarity. Finally, we discuss how climate change is articulated or ignored
among local government politicians, exemplified by a case study from Amuria
District, where climate change was successfully used as a platform for local
government elections in 2006.
