=== Box 13.6 | Institutionalising Climate Change Within Durban’s Local Government ===

<div id="h2-48-siblings" class="h2-siblings"></div>

Durban has effectively linked climate change agendas with ongoing sustainability actions and goals. To do so, adaptation has been broadened to include a just transition to a low-carbon future to address development, energy security and GHG reduction ( [[#Roberts--2016|Roberts et al. 2016]] ).

Durban has mainstreamed climate and justice concerns within local government through strong local leadership by key individuals and departments; included climate concerns within various municipal short-term and long-term planning processes; mobilised civil society; enhanced local and international networking; explored funding opportunities; and restructured institutions ( [[#Roberts--2016|Roberts et al. 2016]] ).

Durban shows that embedding responses to climate change within local government activities requires that climate change is made relevant locally and framed within a broader environmental justice framework ( [[#Roberts--2010|Roberts 2010]] ). Civil society has been key in balancing the influence of the private sector on Durban’s dynamic political process ( [[#Aylett--2013|Aylett 2013]] ).
