Local governments nationwide have been adopting a variety of sustainability practices in the absence of strong federal guidance. The collection of these practices, which differ in design, forms the local government's sustainability strategy. Some local governments may develop a more focused sustainability strategy to achieve more predictable environmental benefits around a narrower array of environmental issues. By contrast, other local governments are developing a more comprehensive sustainability strategy that is more broadly focused to address complex, interconnected environmental issues. However, the external conditions that give rise to these different strategies is not well understood. Drawing on data for more than 950 U.S. municipal governments, this study provides important evidence that local governments' comprehensive sustainability strategies are influenced more by their community contituents and external environmental settings, with greater pressures in particular from constituents in new economy industries and environmental NGOs. These strategies are also more strongly related to higher disaster risk in the external environmental setting than more focused sustainability strategies. These findings broaden our understanding about why local governments' sustainability strategies differ in their design, which may provide a starting point for understanding how different sustainability strategies relate to actual environmental performance outcomes.

外部条件如何影响地方政府可持续发展战略的设计?

在缺乏强有力的联邦指导的情况下,全国各地的地方政府一直在采用各种可持续发展实践。这些设计不同的实践的集合形成了当地政府的可持续发展战略。一些地方政府可能会制定更集中的可持续发展战略,以围绕范围更窄的环境问题实现更可预测的环境效益。相比之下,其他地方政府正在制定更全面的可持续发展战略,更广泛地关注解决复杂、相互关联的环境问题。然而,导致这些不同策略的外部条件尚不清楚。本研究借鉴了 950 多个美国市政府的数据,提供了重要证据,证明地方政府的 综合可持续发展战略更多地受到社区成员和外部环境环境的影响,尤其是来自新经济产业和环境非政府组织的成员的压力更大。与更专注的可持续发展战略相比,这些战略与外部环境环境中更高的灾害风险的相关性也更强。这些发现拓宽了我们对地方政府可持续发展战略为何在设计上不同的理解,这可能为理解不同的可持续发展战略如何与实际环境绩效结果相关提供一个起点。尤其是来自新经济产业和环保非政府组织的更大压力。与更专注的可持续发展战略相比,这些战略与外部环境环境中更高的灾害风险的相关性也更强。这些发现拓宽了我们对地方政府可持续发展战略为何在设计上不同的理解,这可能为理解不同的可持续发展战略如何与实际环境绩效结果相关提供一个起点。尤其是来自新经济产业和环保非政府组织的更大压力。与更专注的可持续发展战略相比,这些战略与外部环境环境中更高的灾害风险的相关性也更强。这些发现拓宽了我们对地方政府可持续发展战略为何在设计上不同的理解,这可能为理解不同的可持续发展战略如何与实际环境绩效结果相关提供一个起点。
