对地方气候变化治理和可持续能源转型的分析往往侧重于了解更广泛的治理网络,其中地方政府是重要的行为体。在试图了解地方可持续性方案的许多限制时,这种办法往往诉诸于能力(缺乏),但地方政府的能力很少成为主要的分析重点。我们提供了地方政府可持续能源能力的定义,将其组织成六种类型,并探讨它与跨尺度的背景因素:政治机构;能源和气候变化政策以及能源系统的物质方面。这个启发式的框架适用于案例研究的八个地方和联合当局在英格兰,一个国家,特别是中央集权的政治机构和能源系统。我们的结论是,能力是一个有用的透镜,通过它来探讨在何种程度上,以及重要的是如何,地方政府可以成为积极的可持续发展行为体。我们还发现,知识能力的发展正变得越来越重要,有一些证据表明,在能源的政治重新缩放,并确定一些方式,能源系统的物质方面有显着的影响,地方政府的可持续能源能力。
Analyses of local climate change governance and sustainable energy transitions have tended to focus on understanding broader governance networks, within which local governments are important actors. Such approaches often make appeals to (lack of) capacity when seeking to understand the many limits to local sustainability programmes, however local government capacity is rarely given a primary analytical focus. We offer a definition of local government sustainable energy capacity, organise it into six types, and explore it in relation to contextual factors across scales: political institutions; energy and climate change policies and material aspects of energy systems. This heuristic framework is applied to case studies of eight local and combined authorities in England, a country with particularly centralised political institutions and energy systems. We conclude that capacity is a useful lens through which to explore the extent to which, and importantly how, local governments can become active sustainability actors. We also find that the development of knowledge capacity is becoming increasingly important; that there is some evidence of political re-scaling in energy; and identify some ways in which material aspects of energy systems have significant implications for local government sustainable energy capacity.
