    Resum:
    Anthropogenic climate change is a major global problem and one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century, including for the Law. Despite its global nature and the need for international and national action in this area, the action of local governments is also essential. The role of municipalities and local governments, being the administration closest to the citizens, is crucial in the fight against climate change, since currently more than half of the world's population lives in cities and a significant share of economic growth, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are located in them. These factors, combined with the challenges posed by the issue of climate change, makes it necessary for local authorities to take co-responsibility and become actively involved in joint climate action. Against this backdrop, this doctoral research aims to investigate, on one hand, the effectiveness of the integration of local authorities in global climate governance and, on the other hand, the scope for political and administrative action by local authorities with regard to the definition and normative attribution of their competences. The starting hypothesis are, on the one hand, the lack of legal mechanisms for the effective integration of local authorities in joint climate action and, on the other hand, the lack of legal powers, which makes it impossible for local authorities to contribute to the joint fight against climate change.
