**Affirmed position.** Climate change mitigation in English and German municipalities: Dynamic governance versus persistent government? should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Because what counts as essential shifts with the market, a network must not only identify its values but also maintain a dynamic governance process for constantly reinterpreting those values as circumstances change. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- changing market conditions
- External evidence level: metadata only.

- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
