About this listen

 On this episode, we have Professor Vanesa Castan Broto from the University of Sheffield in the UK. Vanesa is a scholar on the governance of global environmental change in the urbanisation age. Her previous books include An Urban Politics of Climate Change and the edited collection Participatory Planning for Climate Compatible Development in Maputo. Both are unmissable books! She was also a contributing author to UN-Habitat's 2016 World Cities Report. In 2016, she received the Philip Leverhulme Prize for contributions to Geography. In 2013, she received a United Nations Award for Lighthouse Activities that contribute to fighting climate change with a focus on the urban poor. Vanesa’s research focuses on the governance of global environmental change in the urbanization age. She focuses on three interrelated themes: 1) the governance of climate change in urban areas, 2) urbanization and the dynamics of energy transitions, and 3) barriers to the implementation of climate change action.
