Laura Tozer, a post-doctoral research associate at Durham University, explains her study with Harriet Bulkeley on how urban nature is being governed transnationally, which highlights three themes: nature for resilience, nature for climate, and nature for nature. Moreover, she highlights the characteristics of the emerging transnational governance space, such as shifting governance arrangements and diverse actors. A focus on urban nature-based solutions for climate change illustrates what happens when the object of global environmental governance shifts.
