本章着眼于跨国地方政府(LG)网络在城市气候治理中的作用，其中城市一词包括城市、城镇和其他大都市。地方当局被确认为《21世纪议程》中的九个主要群体之一，并被纳入联合国可持续发展委员会(联合国2009年)。LG在2010年COP 16气候峰会上被正式确认为政府利益相关者，联合国(UN)会议现在将LG在全球气候协议中的利益纳入其中。自20世纪90年代初以来，LGS一直积极参与气候变化政策。各城市和其他市政当局制定了应对当地缓解和适应措施的气候变化行动计划和战略。许多LG当局，特别是城市，是应对气候变化的国家和跨国市政网络的成员，如国际地方环境倡议理事会(ICLEI)、市长公约(欧洲)、美国市长气候保护协议(美国)和C40城市(全球特大城市)。这些LG气候网络侧重于向成员通报最佳实践方法，了解气候变化问题，并在国家、大陆和国际各级代表市政当局以及在气候论坛上发言。因此，“在地方和区域气候治理中，在市政[和国家]边界内和跨边界联网已变得司空见惯”(Granberg and Elander 2007：545)。
This chapter looks at the role of transnational local government (LG) networks in urban climate governance, where the term urban includes cities, towns and other metropolitan municipalities. Local authorities are recognised as one of the nine major groups in Agenda 21 and included in the UN Commission of Sustainable Development (UN 2009). LG was officially recognised as a governmental stakeholder at the 2010 COP 16 climate summit and United Nations (UN) meetings now include LG interests in global climate agreements. LGs have been actively engaged in climate change policies since the early 1990s. Cities and other municipal authorities have prepared climate change action plans and strategies addressing local mitigation and adaptation measures. Many LG authorities, particularly cities, are members of national and transnational municipal networks addressing climate change such as International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), The Covenant of Mayors (Europe), US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement (USA), and C40 Cities (global megacities). These LG climate networks focus on informing members about best practice methods, learning about climate change issues and representing municipalities at national, continental and international levels and at climate forums. Hence, ‘networking within and across municipal [and national] borders has become commonplace in local and regional climate governance’ (Granberg and Elander 2007: 545).
