摘要本研究展示了解释性反馈在政策实施过程中如何作为一种干预机制发挥作用，有助于解释国家以下各级气候政策的变化。我们研究了2001-2018年加拿大安大略三个相互关联的气候政策过程：煤炭淘汰（2001-2014），可再生能源的上网电价（FIT）计划（2006-2013）和总量管制与交易计划（2008-2018）。从公共卫生和气候变化的角度成功地制定了逐步淘汰煤炭的框架，有助于在执行过程中形成基础广泛的支持联盟。相反，我们发现，FIT和总量管制与交易计划是脆弱的框架周围的损失，特别是关于电价和家庭成本，反联盟用来削弱公众的支持在实施过程中。我们的分析表明，为气候政策建立支持性联盟超越了最初政策设计所产生的物质收益和损失。随着时间的推移，制定战略与政策设计相互作用，以支持或破坏政策的持久性。
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how interpretive feedback functions as an intervening mechanism during policy implementation that helps explain variation in subnational climate policy entrenchment. We examine three interrelated climate policy processes in Ontario, Canada from 2001–2018: a coal phase-out (2001–2014), the feed-in-tarriff (FIT) program for renewable energy (2006–2013) and a cap-and-trade program (2008–2018). Successful framing of the coal phase-out in terms of gains for both public health and climate change helped generate a broad-based coalition of support during implementation. Conversely, we find that the FIT and the cap-and-trade programs were vulnerable to framing around losses, especially regarding electricity rates and household costs, which counter-coalitions used to weaken public support during implementation. Our analysis demonstrates that building supportive coalitions for climate policy goes beyond the material gains and losses generated by initial policy designs. Framing strategies interact with policy designs over time to support or undermine policy durability.
