气候变化通常被认为是通过区域或国家政策举措解决的大规模问题。然而，很少有研究直接评估当地的气候变化行动计划。本研究调查了美国最近通过的40个地方气候变化行动计划，并分析了它们对气候变化概念的认识以及为减缓和适应气候变化做准备的程度。结果表明，当地的气候变化行动计划有一个高水平的“意识”，中等的“分析能力”的气候变化，和相对有限的“行动方法”的气候变化缓解。该研究还确定了影响这些地方管辖计划质量的具体因素。最后，它提供了政策建议，以改善地方一级的气候变化规划。
Climate change is conventionally recognised as a large-scale issue resolved through regional or national policy initiatives. However, little research has been done to directly evaluate local climate change action plans. This study examines 40 recently adopted local climate change action plans in the US and analyses how well they recognise the concepts of climate change and prepare for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The results indicate that local climate change action plans have a high level of ‘awareness’, moderate ‘analysis capabilities’ for climate change, and relatively limited ‘action approaches’ for climate change mitigation. The study also identifies specific factors influencing the quality of these local jurisdictional plans. Finally, it provides policy recommendations to improve planning for climate change at the local level.
