Abstract
The paper explores why subnational units should be on the forefront to tackle climate change, with examples from the states of California and Sao Paulo. The successes and failures experienced by these states provide lessons for Kenyan county governments on how to develop and implement climate change policies. It finally makes recommendations for Kenyan counties based on the lessons from the two states.
