“城市”已经成为减少温室气体排放以避免危险的气候变化的政策的关键场所，特别是在国际和国家层面缺乏行动的情况下。在城市中，私营部门，尤其是中小企业主，是推动企业减排的关键角色，但他们往往被视为减排方面的落后者。根据最近在英国利物浦的一个知识交流项目收集的数据，并从文化和多元经济的角度出发，本文认为，这些中小企业主可以通过动员他们所谓的“战争故事”成为有效的变革推动者，通过这些故事，他们“展示和告诉”其他可能不太相信他们所做的改变的商业人士。
The ‘urban’ has emerged as a key site for policies to reduce greenhouse gasses in order to avoid dangerous climate change, especially given concerns at a lack of action at international and national levels. In cities, the private sector, especially SME owners, are key actors central to driving through emissions reduction at the level of the firm: yet they are often seen as laggards in emissions reduction. Drawing on data collected as a result of a recent Knowledge Exchange programme in Liverpool, UK, and on cultural and diverse economies perspectives, the paper argues that those SME owners can be effective change agents through their mobilisation of what they call ‘war stories’, through which they ‘show and tell’ other perhaps less convinced business people about the changes they have made.
