Cities are key actors in reducing both the causes of climate change (mitigation) and its impact (adaptation), and many have developed separate mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures. However, in order to maximize outcomes, both scholars and practitioners are increasingly calling for more integrated and synergetic approaches. Unfortunately, related research remains scarce and fragmented, and there is a lack of systematic investigation into the necessary institutional conditions and processes. Against this background, this paper develops a framework to assess and support the joint institutionalization of climate adaptation and mitigation—here called adaptigation—in city administrations. This pioneering framework draws upon four key features of bureaucracies: organizational structure, visions and goals, actors, and technology and tools. Illustrated by pilot applications to the cities of Würzburg (Germany) and Mwanza (Tanzania), the framework provides a robust basis for future research, policy recommendations, and the development of context-specific guidelines for national and local decision-makers and officials. It highlights the importance of (i) clearly defined procedures for the implementation of adaptigation into urban planning processes (e.g., with the active involvement of stakeholders in the form of working groups or roundtable discussions), (ii) locally relevant goals and visions, established in collaboration with stakeholders, and (iii) the creation of mitigation and adaptation structures that are supported by the appropriate level of human resources, both within and outside city administrations. In this context, global, supranational, and national institutions play an important role in supporting institutionalization by providing targeted funding and promoting adaptigation, which requires the development of integrated goals, visions, and legislation.

城市行政管理中减缓和适应气候变化共同制度化的框架。

城市是减少气候变化的原因（缓解）及其影响（适应）的主要参与者，许多城市已经制定了单独的缓解和适应战略与措施。但是，为了使结果最大化，学者和从业者都日益呼吁采用更加综合和协同的方法。不幸的是，相关研究仍然匮乏且分散，缺乏对必要制度条件和程序的系统研究。在此背景下，本文建立了一个评估和支持气候适应和减缓联合制度化的框架，这里称为适应-在城市行政管理中。这个开拓性的框架利用了官僚机构的四个关键特征：组织结构，愿景和目标，参与者，技术和工具。通过在维尔茨堡（德国）和姆万扎（坦桑尼亚）城市的试点应用说明，该框架为将来的研究，政策建议以及为国家和地方决策者和官员制定针对特定环境的指南提供了坚实的基础。它强调了（i）在城市规划过程中实施适应措施的明确定义的程序的重要性（例如，利益相关者以工作组或圆桌讨论的形式积极参与），（ii）已确立了与当地相关的目标和愿景与利益相关者合作，（iii）建立缓解和适应结构，并在城市行政管理部门内外适当的人力资源支持。在这种情况下，全球，超国家和国家机构通过提供有针对性的资金和促进适应，在支持体制化方面发挥着重要作用，这需要制定综合的目标，愿景和立法。
