在过去几年中，相当多的城镇加入了跨国网络，目的是就气候变化采取行动。关于欧洲城市，这一发展得到了两个主要趋势的支持：第一，世界各地的城市越来越愿意共同解决重大的全球问题。第二，在欧盟一级重新调整面向城市和城市地区的空间政策。本章重点介绍最近的一个网络：欧洲主流气候倡议市长盟约。这一倡议的签署国明确寻求与其他社区合作，以分享知识和经验，从而改进其自身的气候变化减缓和适应措施，以增强其气候复原力。地方行动计划的执行往往依赖于外部资金，因此，特别是来自危机重重的南欧国家的社区在实现这一计划方面举步维艰。为了促进签署国的工作并应对这些困难，他们的努力得到了各种决策支持工具的补充，并通过允许获得欧洲资助方案。
Over the past years a considerable number of towns and cities joined together in transnational networks, which aim to take action on climate change. With regards to European municipalities this development was supported by two major trends: First, an increased willingness of cities worldwide to tackle major global issues jointly. Secondly, a realignment of spatial policies towards cities and urban areas on the EU level. This chapter focuses on one of the more recent networks: The European mainstream climate initiative Covenant of Mayors. The signatories of this initiative explicitly seek the collaboration with other communities in order to share knowledge and experience, and thus improve their own climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in order to enhance its climate resilience. Implementing a local action plan is often dependent on external funding, wherefore particularly communities from the crisis-ridden Southern European countries struggle in its realization. To facilitate the signatories’ work and to respond to these difficulties, their efforts are complemented by various decision-making support tools and through conceding access to European funding programs.
