Abstract

This study examines the role of public support, climate risks, and local government capacity in the adoption of innovative climate adaptation measures, such as nature‐based solutions (NBS; e.g., green infrastructure, urban greening initiatives). I collected climate policy documents from 20 US cities published after 2010 to investigate whether each city has adopted NBS in its climate plans. Using qualitative comparative analysis, I found that: (1) high public support alone is neither necessary nor sufficient for NBS adoption, (2) high public support and high climate risk can jointly promote NBS adoption, (3) when public support or climate risk are low, high local government capacity alone can sufficiently enable NBS adoption. This paper ends with a discussion of how local governments prioritize resources and efforts to strengthen their resilience to the impacts of climate change.

地方政府采取气候适应政策的途径

本研究考察了公众支持、气候风险和地方政府能力在采取创新气候适应措施中的作用，如基于自然的解决方案(NBS；例如，绿色基础设施、城市绿化措施)。我收集了美国20个城市在2010年后发布的气候政策文件，调查每个城市是否在其气候规划中采用了国家统计局。通过定性比较分析，笔者发现：(1)仅高公众支持对于国家统计局的采用既不是必要的，也不是充分的；(2)高公众支持和高气候风险可以共同促进国家统计局的采用；(3)当公众支持或气候风险较低时，仅高地方政府能力就可以充分促进国家统计局的采用。本文最后讨论了地方政府如何优先考虑资源和努力，以加强对气候变化影响的适应能力。
