限制危险气候变化的全球目标已通过2015年巴黎协定达成一致。几乎所有国家、地方或州一级的政府都接受了采取行动的科学理由。然而，在所有立法机构中，在所宣布的气候雄心与实现这些雄心所需措施的实施之间存在差距。本文通过分析以下三个英国城市的经验来探讨这一差距：贝尔法斯特、爱丁堡和利兹。研究人员与市政府官员和民选代表合作，利用访谈和研讨会来发展他们的共同理解。该研究发现，当地行为者采用不同的策略来应对所声明的气候紧急情况，基于他们对有效措施的固有理解或“phronetic知识”。它的结论是，快速的气候行动不仅取决于治理的结构和机制，而且在更深的层次上，决策者的假设，动机和应用知识。
A global goal to limit dangerous climate change has been agreed through the 2015 Paris Accords. The scientific case for action has been accepted by nearly all governments, at national and local or state level. Yet in all legislatures, there is a gap between the stated climate ambitions and the implementation of the measures necessary to achieve them. This paper examines this gap by analysing the experience of the following three UK cities: Belfast, Edinburgh, and Leeds. Researchers worked with city officials and elected representatives, using interviews and deliberative workshops to develop their shared understandings. The study finds that local actors employ different strategies to respond to the stated climate emergency, based on their innate understanding, or ‘phronetic knowledge’, of what works. It concludes that rapid climate action depends not just on the structures and mechanisms of governance, but at a deeper level, the assumptions, motivations and applied knowledge of decision-makers.
