The multi-disciplinary nature of Public Administration is an important platform for the scholarly engagement on issues of multi-, inter- and trans-disciplinarity (MIT). Common problems confronting modern governments worldwide require scholars to facilitate high level engagements on these issues to consider their different dimensions. This MIT focus therefore could serve as a necessary dimension for enriching scholarly discourse on pertinent issues. This edition of the journal focuses on one of these discourses, climate change in the context of green economy transition, and the manner in which municipalities need to weigh their options in their regulatory function.
