本文认为，城市能源政策领域，一个被忽视的重要课题。城市约占全球一次能源消费的三分之二，带来了巨大的效益和成本。因此，人们越来越关注城市对气候变化等全球能源政策问题的贡献，但仍存在一些重大问题：例如，国家和城市范围内的能源政策进程有何不同，城市如何才能最有效地为全球政策目标做出贡献？我们目前的采访结果与主要利益相关者在伦敦，以说明城市能源政策周期的一些独特的功能。然后，我们采取更广泛的观点，提出了一个研究议程，其中有三个关键目标：描述城市能源消费和政策的全球多样性;了解由此产生的责任，脆弱性和能力的多样性;以及制定共享的程序和解决方案。如果城市要为当前的能源政策努力做出充分贡献，解决这些问题至关重要。
This paper considers the field of urban energy policy, a neglected yet important topic. Cities account for approximately two-thirds of global primary energy consumption creating significant benefits and costs. As a result there has been growing interest in the contribution of cities to global energy policy issues such as climate change but a number of significant questions remain: e.g. how do energy policy processes differ between national and urban scales, and how can cities contribute most effectively to global policy goals? We present the results of interviews with key stakeholders in London to illustrate some unique features of the urban energy policy cycle. We then take a wider view, proposing a research agenda with three key goals: describing the global variety of urban energy consumption and policy; understanding the resulting diversity in responsibility, vulnerability and capacity; and developing shared procedures and solutions. Tackling these questions is vital if cities are to contribute fully to current energy policy efforts.
