In this review, we take stock of the last decade of research on climate change governance in urban areas since the 2009 conference in Copenhagen. Using a systematic evaluation of academic publications in the field, we argue that the current moment of research has been shaped by two recent waves of thought. The first, a wave of , which started in 2011 and peaked in 2013, engaged with urban areas as alternative sites for governance in the face of the crumbling international climate regime. The second, a wave of , which started in 2016, has sought to reimagine urban areas following the integration of the "sub-national" as a meaningful category in the international climate regime after the 2015 Paris Agreement for Climate Action. Four themes dominate the debate on climate change governance in urban areas: why there is climate action, how climate action is delivered, how it is articulated in relation to internationally reaching networks, and what implications it has to understand environmental or climate justice within urban settings. Calls to understand the impacts of climate change policy have fostered research on climate change politics, issues of power and control, conflicts, and the inherently unjust nature of much climate policy. What is largely missing from the current scholarship is a sober assessment of the mundane aspects of climate change governance on the ground and a concern with what kind of cultural and socio-economic change is taking place, beyond comparative analyses of the effectiveness of climate policies. This article is categorized under: Policy and Governance > Governing Climate Change in Communities, Cities, and Regions.
在本综述中，我们总结了自2009年哥本哈根会议以来过去十年关于城市地区气候变化治理的研究。通过对该领域学术出版物的系统评估，我们认为当前的研究阶段受到了最近两波思潮的影响。第一波思潮始于2011年，在2013年达到顶峰，面对摇摇欲坠的国际气候制度，将城市地区视为治理的替代场所。第二波思潮始于2016年，在2015年《巴黎气候行动协定》之后，“次国家”作为国际气候制度中有意义的类别被纳入后，试图重新构想城市地区。四个主题主导了关于城市地区气候变化治理的辩论：为什么要有气候行动、气候行动如何实施、如何在与国际网络的关系中阐明气候行动，以及在城市环境中理解环境或气候正义有哪些影响。理解气候变化政策影响的呼声推动了对气候变化政治、权力与控制问题、冲突以及许多气候政策内在的不公正性质的研究。当前学术研究中很大程度上缺失的是对实地气候变化治理平凡方面的清醒评估，以及对除气候政策有效性比较分析之外正在发生何种文化和社会经济变化的关注。本文分类如下：政策与治理>社区、城市和地区的气候变化治理。
