Abstract: Jurisdictions around the globe are working to address climate change and many municipalities are seeking to protect their communities from its impacts. Although nearly half the world’s population resides in rural areas, most municipal climate change planning literature focuses on urban municipalities. To that end, this paper analyzes the public policy process of Nova Scotia, Canada’s rural Municipal Climate Change Action Planning mandate. Through an analysis of the plans and follow-up interviews with municipal planners, we examine the conditions that sustain local climate planning and what municipalities gleaned from this climate planning process.
