Winter 2017/18: We have just released several papers presenting the results of the project. Marta Lackowska and Paweł Swianiewicz discuss factors explaining local governments preferences and actions towards climate change mitigation and adaptation in Prace Geograficzne. The second paper by Katarzyna Szmigiel-Rawska and Jan-Erling Klausen was published in TRAS (Impact Factor 0,456). They had been working on innovation and climate change policy mechanisms.
