Abstract
Globally, considerable research has been aimed at identifying various factors that may influence the way local governments plan and implement strategies to respond to climate change. However, little is known about the relative influence of these factors. Based on information from all New South Wales Local Governments, an indicator was developed to measure local government level of implementation of climate change strategies. The implementation level was calculated for each local government and then compared to available statistical information using regression analysis. Two groups of local governments with different pressures were identified. In both groups it was found that community composition was the greatest influence on local government climate change strategies.
