从地方到全球，公共、私营和民间社会组织在各种规模上为气候变化政策提供信息。这种政策形成被称为多层次治理。地方当局的跨国网络是多层次治理的一个新特点，被视为改善气候变化政策在实地执行情况的一种手段。然而，对这些跨国气候变化网络的经验性评估在地理上是有限的，没有研究审查其在爱尔兰的影响。作为回应，本文认为欧洲气候变化网络的重要性在爱尔兰的气候变化战略。它的结论是，这些正式的跨国网络的影响有限，迄今为止，由于正在进行的谈判的政治规模和责任方面的气候变化政策在爱尔兰。
Climate change policies are informed by contributions from public, private and civil society organisations at a range of scales from the local to the global. Such policy formation has come to be termed multilevel governance. Transnational networks of local authorities are an emerging feature of multilevel governance and they have been heralded as a means to improve the implementation of climate change policy on the ground. However empirical evaluation of these transnational climate change networks is geographically limited and no research examining their impact in Ireland has been conducted. In response this paper considers the significance of European climate change networks within Ireland's climate change strategy. It concludes that these formal transnational networks have had limited impact to date due to ongoing negotiations about the politics of scale and responsibility with respect to climate change policies in Ireland.
