Finally, UNFCC Annex I countries need to confront their historic responsibility, particularly in shaping existing food systems. They need to contribute proportionately to the identifi cation and implementation of comprehensive solutions. This can be done through policy reforms, research and more support to developing countries to build climate-friendly food systems.

The right to the city – energy and climate change Mike Hodson and Simon Marvin Introduction Cities are critical sites in our understanding of both energy and climate change. They are often simultaneously represented as being a signifi cant part of the ‘cause’ of climate change, since urban areas and their inhabitants may be responsible for up to 75 per cent of global human energy consumption and carbon emissions; as foremost among the ‘victims’ of climate change, particularly the vulnerable coastal megacities of the global South; and, as key sites of ‘innovative responses’, such as through the actions of the representatives of large cities in the C40 network. 1 All cities face the critical challenge of how to ensure they can guarantee their long-term ecological and economic survival in a context of human-made global ecological change – referred to as the Anthropocene period (see below) – that implies greater uncertainty about climate change and the availability of critical resources such as food, water and energy (see Dalby 2007). 1 The C40 was formed in 2005 and is a group of the ‘world’s largest cities committed to tackling climate change (because) cities and urban areas consume 75 per cent of the world’s energy and produce up to 75 per cent of its greenhouse gas emissions’‚ see http:// www.c40cities.org/ 70 Critical Currents no. 6 Mike Hodson is research fellow at the SURF Centre in the United Kingdom. His research interests focus on city-regional transitions to lowcarbon economies, the ways in which this may or may not happen and understandings of the lessons to be learned from such processes. Simon Marvin is professor at and codirector of SURF. He is an expert on the changing relations between neighbourhoods, cities, regions and infrastructure networks in a period of resource constraint, institutional restructuring and climate change.
