城市地区占全球温室气体排放的大部分，越来越多的城市政府正在采取和实施气候缓解政策。许多市政府加入了两个不同的全球城市网络，旨在促进城市规模的气候政策制定，有定性证据表明，这些网络在激励城市采取气候政策并帮助其实施方面发挥着重要作用。我们的研究目标是利用关于城市环境政策采用的全球数据库，并考虑到可能在气候政策采用中发挥作用的大量其他因素，定量地检验这一命题。控制这些其他因素后，我们发现网络成员资格确实对市政府采取的不同措施的数量产生了显着影响。我们还发现两个不同网络之间存在显着差异，这表明这些网络为其成员提供的服务的性质可以发挥重要作用。我们的研究结果导致提供了一套全球缓解战略：首先，加入城市网络可以产生一代全球战略，从而带来气候缓解效益。然而，城市需要选择提供适当定制政策的网络。其次，在地方层面缺乏具体国际承诺的情况下，城市网络为全球治理奠定了基础，并使城市能够独立、主动地采取政策。第三，考虑气候政策的协同效益可以优化全球战略的制定。
Urban areas account for the majority of global greenhouse gas emissions, and increasingly, it is city governments that are adopting and implementing climate mitigation policies. Many municipal governments have joined two different global city networks that aim to promote climate policy development at the urban scale, and there is qualitative evidence that such networks play an important role in motivating cities to adopt climate policies and helping them to implement them. Our study objective is to test this proposition quantitatively, making use of a global database on cities’ environmental policy adoption, and also taking into account a large number of other factors that could play a role in climate policy adoption. Controlling for these other factors, we find that network membership does make a significant difference in the number of different measures that city governments adopt. We also find that there are significant differences between the two different networks, suggesting that the nature of the services that such networks offer their members can play an important role. Our findings lead to the provision of a set of global mitigation strategies: First of all, joining the city networks can lead to a generation of global strategies which can result into climate mitigation benefits. However, cities are required to select the network which provides proper tailor made policies. Second, in the absence of concrete international commitments at the local level, city networks lay the ground for global governance and enable cities to adopt policies independently and proactively. Third, consideration of co-benefits of climate policies can optimize the development of global strategies.
