Cities represent a challenge and an opportunity for climate change policy. As the hubs of economic activity, cities generate the bulk of GHG emissions and are thus important to mitigation strategies.

This book takes a careful look at the concept sustainable development: what it means; how it is affected by production, consumption and globalisation; how it can be measured, and what can be done to promote it. The OECD produces data, research and policy recommendations on many issues related to sustainable development, including climate change, co-operation with developing countries and corporate social responsibility.

Economic globalisation and the subsequent intensification of inter-city competition have profoundly changed urban governance. This is particularly evident in the field of urban spatial development. The change is often described as a shift from a managerial mode of governance to a more entrepreneurial mode, strongly characterised by risk-taking, innovation, a strong orientation toward the private sector and a strategic approach which focuses on economic growth.

This paper offers recommendations adderessed to European Commision about sustainable urban policy. Although these recommendations are addressed to Commision, they are also intented to have resonance for national goverments and for local and regional authorities and to facilitate action by them.

Este libro divídese en dúas grandes partes. A primeira delas inclúe tres apartados: un primeiro, no que se describen as principais etapas do desenvolvemento destas ciencias en Galicia, enmarcadas, para a súa máis correcta e doada interpretación, no imprescindible contexto histórico mundial e español; un segundo, en que se ofrece unha pequena historia dos primeiros observatorios, que foron esas unidades funcionais fornecedoras dos datos meteorolóxicos; e, finalmente, un apartado complementario no que se recollen algúns exemplos do instrumental utilizado nos observatorios.
