TY - UNPB M1 - bachelor N2 - In order to mitigate climate change impacts, short-term action and societal resilience are required for successful adaptation to drastically changing environments (IPCC, 2022). The effect of urban heat islands is one of the many adverse consequences we must mitigate to sustain and improve urban habitats. However, this issue of socio-environmental change remains complex and requires simultaneous action on multiple levels of the governance spectrum (Homsy et al., 2018). Bottom-up solutions may provide valuable insights for improved place understandings, resulting in enhanced green space solutions. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted together with secondary data collection in order to investigate whether this premise holds true. Resultantly, this paper presents a spectrum of involvement and responsibilities at different levels of action, portraying the bottom-linked governance approach utilised in Groningen to mitigate urban heat island effects.
