Globally, cities have made efforts to shift to low-carbon emission development (LED), amidst air pollution, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and high temperature anomalies. However, the emphasis on cities to help shift the global economy to LED has been on a single individual sector approach operating in silos rather than the inter and intra-specific outcomes of multiple sectors. Thus, there are uncertainties of adopting suitable pathways for cities’ transition to LED, due largely to data paucity and policy incoherence, constrained further by barriers to integrating science, policy, and practice. Hence, the need for cities to take advantage of the benefits of multi-directional perspectives of multiple sectors acting together—the “multi-vector” approach, to confront key questions of climate compatible development (CCD) that support LED. Therefore, the paper extends the development narratives of the CCD approach to an “enhanced” climate compatible development (EnCCD) pathway with in-built questions and determinants to scope cities’ transition to LED. The EnCCD suggests that the standalone intersection between mitigation and development to deliver LED will not result in cities’ resilience unless (i) co-benefits, which are outcomes of mitigation and adaptation, and (ii) climate-resilient development, the product of adaptation and development, coevolved. Therefore, the EnCCD transforms the development policy focus of cities on separate, single-purpose sectors, such as energy or transport, into multi-sector portfolios having synergistic benefits of mitigation, adaptation, and development strategies.

城市向低碳排放发展转型的多向量方法

在全球范围内,在空气污染、温室气体 (GHG) 排放和高温异常的情况下,城市已努力转向低碳排放发展 (LED)。然而,城市在帮助全球经济转向 LED 方面的重点一直是在孤岛运行的单一部门方法上,而不是多个部门之间和特定内部的结果。因此,主要由于数据缺乏和政策不连贯性,以及整合科学、政策和实践的障碍进一步限制了城市向 LED 过渡的合适途径的不确定性。因此,城市需要利用多个部门共同行动的多方向视角的好处——“多向量”方法,来解决支持 LED 的气候兼容发展 (CCD) 的关键问题。所以,该论文将 CCD 方法的发展叙述扩展到“增强型”气候兼容发展 (EnCCD) 路径,其中包含用于确定城市向 LED 过渡的内在问题和决定因素。EnCCD 建议,减缓和发展之间的独立交叉点以提供 LED 不会导致城市的复原力,除非 (i) 共同利益,这是减缓和适应的结果,以及 (ii) 气候复原力发展,适应的产物和发展,共同进化。因此,EnCCD 将城市的发展政策重点转变为单独的、单一目的部门,如能源或交通,转变为具有减缓、适应和发展战略协同效益的多部门投资组合。
