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 urban optimism, 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 urban pragmatism, 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.

哥本哈根会议十年后:重新构想城市地区的气候变化治理

在这篇综述中,我们回顾了自 2009 年哥本哈根会议以来过去十年对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时刻是由最近的两次思想浪潮塑造的。第一个是城市乐观主义浪潮,始于 2011 年并在 2013 年达到顶峰,面对崩溃的国际气候制度,城市地区成为治理的替代场所。二、一波城市实用主义风潮自 2016 年开始,在 2015 年《巴黎气候行动协定》之后,随着“次国家”作为一个有意义的类别在国际气候制度中的整合,它试图重新构想城市地区。四个主题主导着关于城市地区气候变化治理的辩论:为什么会有气候行动、如何实施气候行动、如何将其与国际影响网络联系起来,以及它对理解城市环境中的环境或气候正义有什么影响. 了解气候变化政策影响的呼吁促进了对气候变化政治、权力和控制问题、冲突以及许多气候政策固有的不公正性质的研究。
