I bought a special issue of the original on DVD last year, which includes loads of outtakes that are equally as funny as the actual film and almost as long. The process of making it must have been hilarious

Do you mean a formal, post-election, coalition, based on Germany's "firewall" against the AfD principle?

It may be that a wave of "anyone but Farage" tactical voting on polling day ends up with an even more unpredictable outcome, but makes a post-election coalition unnecessary

Many thanks to Jonas Schoenefeld and Ulrike Zeigermann for overseeing a special collection of the journal, and organising the preparatory workshop in Würzburg last November. Also grateful to Jale Tosun for arranging a waiver on the author processing charge, which means the paper is *open access* :)

Also, given that many studies of local climate policy are based on desk-based analyses of mitigation and/or adaptation plans (rather than their implementation), it suggests that our knowledge of what is actually happening 'on the ground' may be distorted.

Smaller cities are also more likely to rely on external experts to draft mitigation and adaptation strategies. These issues raise concerns about the ownership of local climate policies, the extent to which they are realistic, and whether municipalities will (be able to) implement them.

The smaller municipalities have begun to catch up with bigger cities in terms of climate planning and carbon neutrality targets. However, smaller cities in particular are incentivised to produce highly ambitious and (potentially) unrealistic plans in order to access funding for climate initiatives.

We compared the high-level climate plans and activities of Germany's 80 largest cities (those with 100,000+ inhabitants) with 114 smaller municipalities (populations of 50,000-100,000). We then carried out interviews with climate managers and local activist groups in ten of these smaller cities.
