Cities around the world are creating formal planning documents proposing local actions to mitigate and prepare for the impacts of climate change. Despite a growing number of examples of such plans and “toolkits” that outline the process for undertaking these planning efforts, many cities are still struggling to know where to start. Furthermore, meta-analyses of existing climate action plans show that many suffer from similar limitations including lack of scientific input, failure to consider strategies across multiple sectors within local government, limited public involvement, narrow focus on mitigation, and lack of detail regarding implementation and monitoring. This paper describes our process for developing the Anchorage Climate Action Plan and our experience fusing a three-way partnership between the municipal government, a local university, and the broader Anchorage, Alaska community. We describe the nuts and bolts of our funding, leadership structure, and technical working sessions and reflect on the key structural, political, and social elements that catalysed plan development, adoption, and implementation. Our experience suggests that public support from municipal leaders, commitment from local experts, a dedicated steering committee, a diverse set of stakeholders, and a good working relationship with the local government officials (e.g. Assembly members or City Council) are critical to creating a successful framework for climate mitigation and adaptation planning in a community. Collaborative planning with a local university that prioritises community-engagement can support the development of a robust planning document that integrates local scientific expertise and is representative of the community it is meant to serve.

与大学,社区和市政合作伙伴的缓解和适应气候变化的合作计划:以阿拉斯加安克雷奇为例

世界各地的城市都在创建正式的规划文件,提出减轻和应对气候变化影响的当地行动。尽管有越来越多的此类计划和“工具包”的例子概述了进行这些计划工作的过程,但许多城市仍在努力寻找起点。此外,对现有气候行动计划的荟萃分析显示,许多人遭受类似的局限,包括缺乏科学投入,未能在地方政府内跨多个部门考虑战略,公众参与有限,对减缓措施的关注集中以及缺乏有关实施和实施的细节。监控。本文介绍了我们制定《安克雷奇气候行动计划》的过程,以及将市政府,当地大学,以及更广泛的阿拉斯加安克雷奇社区。我们描述了资金,领导结构和技术工作会议的细节,并反思了促进计划制定,采用和实施的关键结构,政治和社会因素。我们的经验表明,市政领导者的公共支持,地方专家的承诺,专门的指导委员会,各种利益相关者以及与地方政府官员(例如,议会议员或市议会)的良好工作关系对于成功建立企业至关重要。社区气候减缓和适应计划的框架。
