Climate policy integration (CPI) is a key strategy for implementing climate policy action, spanning policy sectors and levels of governance. As a central agenda-setting actor in the EU, we argue that understanding the institutional capacity for CPI inside the European Commission is especially important for understanding the advancement of CPI in the EU overall. We focus on the inner workings of the Commission, and we ask:what role does the leadership style of the Commission President play in advancing institutional capacity for implementing CPI? We assess the institutional capacity for CPI in the Commission during the Barroso and Juncker Presidencies, which display characteristics of bottom-up and top-down leadership styles, respectively. While we do not find that one presidential leadership style is necessarily ‘better’ than the other at enhancing institutional capacities for CPI, we highlight important differences along four key factors, namely: (1) political commitment to overarching climate objectives and to the necessity of implementing CPI; (2) recognition of functional overlaps between policy objectives and compatible beliefs for implementing CPI among policymakers; (3) an opportunity structure for innovative policy development and policy entrepreneurship; (4) and meaningful coordination and consultation mechanisms.

欧盟委员会气候政策整合的总统领导风格和机构能力

气候政策整合 (CPI) 是实施气候政策行动的一项关键战略，涵盖政策部门和治理层级。作为欧盟的核心议程设置参与者，我们认为了解欧盟委员会内部的 CPI 机构能力对于了解欧盟整体 CPI 的进步尤为重要。我们关注委员会的内部运作，并提出问题：委员会主席的领导风格在提高实施CPI的机构能力方面发挥了什么作用？我们评估了巴罗佐和容克总统任期内委员会对 CPI 的制度能力，分别显示了自下而上和自上而下的领导风格特征。虽然我们没有发现一种总统领导风格在提高 CPI 的机构能力方面一定比另一种“更好”，但我们强调了四个关键因素的重要差异，即：(1) 对总体气候目标的政治承诺以及实施CPI；(2) 认识到政策目标之间的功能重叠和政策制定者实施 CPI 的兼容信念；(3) 创新政策制定和政策创业的机会结构；（四）有意义的协调协商机制。(2) 认识到政策目标之间的功能重叠和政策制定者实施 CPI 的兼容信念；(3) 创新政策制定和政策创业的机会结构；（四）有意义的协调协商机制。(2) 认识到政策目标之间的功能重叠和政策制定者实施 CPI 的兼容信念；(3) 创新政策制定和政策创业的机会结构；（四）有意义的协调协商机制。
