本文扩展了乌尔里希·贝克（Ulrich Beck）的世界风险社会理论，追溯了欧洲和东亚世界港口城市的世界性风险共同体的出现，该共同体围绕着对气候变化的全球风险和机遇的共同想象而构成。我们认为，这种城市风险想象是在地方政府网络、国际组织、跨国保险公司和跨国非政府组织的跨国组合中形成和传播的。采用绘制城市气候实验图的方法，我们在欧洲和东亚地区16个主要世界港口城市的气候政策参与中，从时间、强度、优先事项和政府模式等方面，记录了这一世界性风险社区的一个政策迹象。我们的结论是，这些政策约定的实质性相似性构成了一种新的城市世界现实主义，在气候变化面前重塑了城市政治。
Extending Ulrich Beck's theory of world risk society, this article traces the emergence of a cosmopolitan risk community of world port cities in Europe and East Asia, constituted around shared imaginations of the global risks and opportunities of climate change. Such urban risk imaginations are shaped and circulated, we argue, within transnational assemblages of local government networks, international organizations, multinational insurance companies and transnational non-governmental organizations. Adopting the methodology of mapping urban climate experiments, we then document one policy indication of this cosmopolitan risk community, in terms of the timing, intensity, priorities and modes of government manifested in the climate policy engagements of 16 major world port cities across the regions of Europe and East Asia. The substantial similarities in such policy engagements, we conclude, amount to a new urban–cosmopolitan realism, reshaping urban politics in the face of climate change.
