Abstract
This article focuses on the role of local institutions in mitigation and adaptation to climate change, considering learning experiences in promoting public-private partnerships in resilient actions. It does so in the belief that climate impacts will affect disadvantaged social groups and small communities more disproportionately, and that local institutions centrally influence how different social groups gain access to, and are able to, use assets and resources. Considering that the increasing awareness that global temperatures will rise, a "Climate-smart" mentality must be adopted at all levels of decision-making. This approach involves finding synergies between climate change mitigation and adaptation, wherever this is possible. We consider similar pre-conditions for adaptation as for mediation. Based on these pre-conditions, we identify Public Private Partnerships as a challenging possibility to finance decentralized renewable energies and green infrastructure for resilient communities. The article aims to demonstrate two main unclear topics in the existing understanding about institutions and climate change responses: the correlation between Public Private Partnerships and the participatory process and how it leads to win-win climate response funding, a learning experience from the Sustainable Energy Action Plan within the MED Programme ZeroCO2 Project - and the Local Adaptation Plan development within the BLUE AP LIFE+ project .
