Protesting farmers and haggling politicians in European institutions bring to light the central role that subnational territories—mostly rural regions—play in the bloc’s climate transition agenda. Policymakers, including diplomats, should develop place-based awareness and rural intelligence, in order to anticipate, manage, and mitigate place-specific climate risks and socioeconomic conflicts.
