Climate transition challenge traditional hierarchical structures, as a “wicked problem” that must be handled by a range of actors representing different sector authorities, governmental layers, private businesses and civil society. The panel illuminates how local authorities navigate and act as “players” in this multi-actor- and multi-level governance landscape, and the type of local leadership that is needed – as the “players” must also ensure legitimacy among their citizenries.
