| Sumario: | The current climate emergency scenario demands responses from local governments as it is at the local scale where it materializes the effects of climate change. However, it is necessary to understand the differents characteristics of the territorial conformations, including with regard to the difficulties of adaptation and the importance of Environmental Governance as a guide for facing the problem. In this context, this article presents the case study that seeks to analyze the institutional capacity of the small municipalities that integrate the Historic Valley region of São Paulo to face Climate Change, considering that small municipalities have difficulties inherent to this scale that demand attention in academic studies. The study is based on a content analysis of the urban regulations of the municipalities and on the conduct of interviews with public managers. Preliminary results indicate that actions to tackle the problem are marginally present in urban regulation and that, although public managers recognize the importance of social participation and governance, it does not occur effectively, indicating the importance of reflection on the theme in small municipalities. |
