摘要本文解决了两个问题：（1）鉴于国家一级对减少温室气体（GHG）排放的承诺，国家一级政府可以使用什么工具来诱导国家以下各级所需的补充行动？(2)在国家和区域两级缺乏减少温室气体排放的认真承诺的情况下，城市采取行动的范围和管辖权如何？在这方面，加拿大、美国和德国审查了与温室气体排放有关的联邦、地区和市政立法。关于第一个问题，不同的国家政府发现自己在国家以下各级实施气候举措的立场截然不同，德国政府的立场最强，加拿大政府的立场最弱。这对一个国家采取减排目标的意愿的影响可能是严重的。关于第二个问题，加拿大人之间的差异很小。
Abstract This paper addresses two questions: (1) Given a commitment at the national level to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, what tools are available to national‐level governments to induce complimentary actions required at subnational levels? (2) In the absence of a serious commitment at national and regional levels to reduce GHG emissions, what is the scope for, and jurisdictional rights of, cities to undertake actions? In this context, federal, regional and municipal legislation relevant for GHG emissions is examined in Canada, the USA and Germany. Regarding the first question, different national governments find themselves in considerably different positions to implement climate initiatives at subnational levels, with the German government in the strongest position and the Canadian government in the weakest. The implications of this for a nation's willingness to adopt emission reduction targets could be serious. Regarding the second question, there are few significant differences among Canadian...
