摘要城市已成为全球气候变化治理的重要参与者。从1992年至2009年，在274个欧洲城市的原始样本中，越来越多的城市采用了地方气候战略，这反映了它们在这一领域的活动有所增加。使用事件的历史分析，我发现，这种传播是促进跨国市政网络（TMN）成功地部署扩散的治理战略，其影响超过了文献中引用的大多数其他解释因素。鉴于TMN有能力促进气候政策创新在城市间的传播，因此可以预期TMN将在日益分散、多中心和跨国的气候治理体系中发挥决定性作用。
Abstract Cities have become crucial actors for the global governance of climate change. Their increased activity in this field is reflected by the rising number of adoptions of local climate strategies in an original sample of 274 European cities from 1992 to 2009. Using event history analysis, I find that this spread is promoted by transnational municipal networks (TMNs) successfully deploying strategies for governance by diffusion, their impact exceeding that of most alternative explanatory factors cited in the literature. Given their capacity to foster the spread of climate policy innovations among cities, TMNs can thus be expected to play a decisive role in a climate governance system that is becoming increasingly fragmented, polycentric, and transnational.
