Cities have emerged as important agents and sites in climate governance interventions, experimentations and networks. Drawing upon two strains of climate governance and collaborative governance literature, respectively, this article adopts a polycentric approach to the analysis of Oslo's urban climate governance. It unpacks the relationships between urban leadership, climate goal-setting and institutional design, and reveals how these variables condition the employment of a combination of integrative and interactive governing instruments that foster both self-governance and co-creation in climate responses. The article argues that broad and long-term political support facilitates the adoption of ambitious climate goals, utilization of regulatory powers, and the design and operations of innovative hybrid mixes of integrative and interactive governing instruments. The hybrid combination of instruments is what provides the basis for synergistic, predictable and dynamic forms of self-governance and co-created linkages among public and private ‘units’ within the wider urban climate governance ecosystem. Trans-local and transnational networks play an important role in building such capacities for urban climate governance. Local processes of co-creation and networked experimentations are ‘scaling up’ to change policies at city, national and international levels. The empirical observations from Oslo have implication for theories of polycentric urban climate governance and for the promise and limitations of co-creation in the climate arena. The analysis draws upon qualitative interviews with close to 50 public and private stakeholders and policy document studies.

多中心城市气候治理：在奥斯陆实现综合治理和互动治理之间的协同作用

城市已成为气候治理干预、实验和网络的重要代理和地点。本文分别借鉴气候治理和协同治理两种文献，采用多中心方法来分析奥斯陆的城市气候治理。它揭示了城市领导力、气候目标设定和制度设计之间的关系，并揭示了这些变量如何影响综合和互动治理工具组合的使用，这些工​​具在气候响应中促进自治和共同创造。文章认为，广泛和长期的政治支持有助于通过雄心勃勃的气候目标、利用监管权力、以及集成和交互式管理工具的创新混合组合的设计和操作。工具的混合组合为更广泛的城市气候治理生态系统内的公共和私人“单位”之间的协同、可预测和动态形式的自治和共同创建的联系提供了基础。跨地方和跨国网络在建设此类城市气候治理能力方面发挥着重要作用。共同创造和网络试验的地方进程正在“扩大”以改变城市、国家和国际层面的政策。来自奥斯陆的实证观察对多中心城市气候治理理论以及气候领域共同创造的前景和局限性具有重要意义。
