Abstract

Nowadays, the significant contribution of urban areas to global greenhouse gas emissions is highlighted, and cities’ objectives to address climate change are discussed. This has prompted most cities to act toward achieving a sustainable future in the direction of carbon neutrality. This article explores the relationship between carbon neutrality, carbon-neutral cities, and social participation, and presents a theoretical framework that synthesizes these concepts. The methodology employed in the article includes four phases. First, the article reviews the literature on carbon neutrality and social participation, recognizing the relationship between the concepts in pairs and chains. Then, it integrates the findings to develop an integrated conceptual framework, which conceptualizes a framework of carbon-neutral cities and describes the relationship among the derived concepts. It argues that social participation is a critical element in achieving carbon-neutral cities and that achieving carbon-neutral cities is a complex process. The article emphasizes the importance of social participation in this process and highlights the need for future research to explore novel ways to achieve this.
迈向碳中和城市:社会参与的关键作用
如今,城市地区对全球温室气体排放的重要贡献得到了强调,并讨论了城市应对气候变化的目标。这促使大多数城市采取行动,朝着碳中和的方向实现可持续的未来。本文探讨了碳中和、碳中和城市和社会参与之间的关系,并提出了一个综合这些概念的理论框架。本文采用的方法包括四个阶段。首先,本文回顾了碳中和与社会参与的相关文献,认识到碳中和与社会参与之间的关系。然后,对研究结果进行整合,构建了一个综合概念框架,对碳中和城市框架进行了概念化,并描述了衍生概念之间的关系。报告认为,社会参与是实现碳中和城市的关键因素,实现碳中和城市是一个复杂的过程。文章强调了社会参与在这一过程中的重要性,并强调了未来研究探索实现这一目标的新途径的必要性。
