Resum:	Cities and local governments are importantactors in the global governance of climatechange; however, the specific governance principles and arrangements that enableurban climate plans and policies to realize commitments to social equity and justiceremain largely unexplored. This article uses the City of Barcelona, Spain, as a criticalcase study of emerging"intersectional climate justice"practice, where plans to buildresilience to climate change are pursued in conjunction with efforts to tackle structuralinequalities in accessing the built environment, health services, energy, housing, andtransportation experienced by frontline communities. The study illustrates how Barce-lona and its community partners do this through four different categories of governanceand decision-making tactics, which include: (1) experimenting with disruptive planningstrategies; (2) working transversally across agencies and actors to institutionalize climatejustice over time; (3) putting care at the center of urban planning; and (4) mobilizingplace-based approaches to tackle intersecting vulnerabilities of frontline residents. These tactics seek to redistribute the benefits of climate-resilient infrastructures morefairly and to enhance participatory processes more meaningfully. Finally, we assess thelimitations and challenges of mobilizing these tactics in everyday urban politics. Barcelo-na's experience contributes to research on climate governance by challenging thenotion of distinct waves of governance and revealing concurrent dimensions of climateurbanism that coexist spatially and temporally. Our research also illustrates lessons forfairer climate governance in the city, where different tactics are mobilized to addressstructural and intersecting socioeconomic vulnerabilities that exacerbate the experienceof climate change of frontline residents.
