摘要
Local communities play a key role in tackling the issue of global climate change. Are local places capable of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that they produce? If so, how can they be motivated to do so? If some aspects of the problem are beyond their means, what must be done to empower these communities? A study of four places in the United States is instructive for the rest of the nation - and the rest of the world.
