We are requesting the funding to develop social science research collaboration between De Montfort University (UK) and the Institute for Global Energy Strategies (Japan). We are proposing a series of networking and knowledge exchange activities on the timely theme of making climate planning more sustainable in cities in United Kingdom and Japan. The world is urbanising rapidly and more than 50% of the global population now lives in cities around the world. As the economic output is concentrated in cities, their contribution to climate change is significant and growing rapidly. While many cities have climate action plans and city administrations are seemingly well-positioned to align their climate change plans with other sustainable development concerns, little is known about the sustainability of city climate plans. Relatively little is known about the steps cities are taking to make climate plan sustainable. In fact, whether and to what extent cities are making links between their climate and sustainability objectives remains an open question.This proposal aims to fill this knowledge gap through this networking and knowledge exchange activity. This would help us in identifying and developing a larger action-oriented, multidisciplinary research programme on the integration between climate planning and the SDGs in cities.We are proposing the work in a number of distinct phases. In the networking phase, we will develop a list of cities that have already produced climate change plan. In the scoping phase, we aim to develop screening criteria to help identify the links and gaps between that climate plan and the SDGs. The screening criteria will be used to create a shortlist of cities in both countries to determine the status of integration of Sustainable Development Goals in climate action plans, identify the reasons for weak alignment and find ways of improving the linkage. This scoping exercise would consist of interviews and surveys with a manageable number of cities in both Japan and the United Kingdom.In the final phase, the research teams in both countries would develop a set of knowledge products and learning materials that would summarise the preliminary results of the networking and then scoping phase. The main outputs would consist of an introductory paper that outlines the objectives, key questions, scope, methods, and relevant literature on the themes covered in the project. This would then be complemented by two additional papers-one each for Japan and the United Kingdom-that lays out the main results for both of those countries. An additional paper would focus on some of the comparative insights from looking across the results of cities in the two countries. We plan to develop collaboration through two-way researcher exchanges, joint workshops, scoping studies in UK and Japanese cities, developing an online platform to share ideas and solicit inputs into a full research proposal around the integration of climate and SDG planning in the UK and Japan. Both the teams are well placed to undertake the work given their respective strengths in energy systems (for DMU) and climate policy (IGES) and their existing networks with the local city administrations as well as other stakeholders. The work is planned for 18 months and both the teams are committing significant financial resources in addition to the requested fund.

我们正在申请资金，以发展德蒙福特大学（英国）和全球能源战略研究所（日本）之间的社会科学研究合作。我们建议在联合王国和日本开展一系列网络和知识交流活动，主题是使城市的气候规划更具可持续性。世界正在迅速城市化，超过50%的全球人口现在居住在世界各地的城市。由于经济产出集中在城市，城市对气候变化的贡献很大，而且还在迅速增长。虽然许多城市都有气候行动计划，城市管理部门似乎也有能力将其气候变化计划与其他可持续发展问题相结合，但人们对城市气候计划的可持续性知之甚少。人们对城市为使气候计划可持续而采取的措施知之甚少。事实上，城市是否以及在多大程度上将其气候和可持续性目标联系起来仍然是一个悬而未决的问题，本提案旨在通过这种联网和知识交流活动填补这一知识空白。这将有助于我们确定和开发一个更大的以行动为导向的多学科研究计划，以整合城市气候规划和可持续发展目标。我们建议分几个不同的阶段开展工作。在联网阶段，我们将制定一份已经制定气候变化计划的城市名单。在范围界定阶段，我们的目标是制定筛选标准，以帮助确定气候计划与可持续发展目标之间的联系和差距。筛选标准将用于创建两国城市的入围名单，以确定可持续发展目标在气候行动计划中的整合状况，找出协调不力的原因，并找到改善联系的方法。这项范围界定工作将包括对日本和联合王国数量有限的城市进行访谈和调查，在最后阶段，两国的研究小组将开发一套知识产品和学习材料，总结联网和范围界定阶段的初步成果。主要产出将包括一份介绍性文件，概述项目所涉主题的目标、关键问题、范围、方法和相关文献。然后将通过另外两份文件（日本和英国各一份）进行补充，其中列出了这两个国家的主要结果。另一份文件将侧重于从两国城市的结果中得出的一些比较性见解。我们计划通过双向研究人员交流，联合研讨会，英国和日本城市的范围研究，开发一个在线平台来分享想法并征求意见，以围绕英国和日本的气候和可持续发展目标规划的整合提出完整的研究建议。这两个小组都有能力开展这项工作，因为它们在能源系统（DMU）和气候政策（IGES）方面各自具有优势，而且它们与当地城市管理部门以及其他利益攸关方之间有着现有的网络。这项工作计划为期18个月，除了所要求的资金外，两个小组都承诺提供大量财政资源。
