摘要

本研究旨在探讨地方民选官员对能源转型项目持观望和抵制态度背后的原因。尽管人们对可再生能源在应对气候变化方面的重要性达成了共识，但在地方一级实施可再生能源往往会遭到包括民选官员在内的几个行动者的反对。本研究通过对参与能源转型的法国官员和利益相关者进行半结构化访谈，并通过分析当地和地区媒体，确定了影响这种反对意见的内部、外部和个人因素。我们的研究结果表明，政治策略、监管复杂性和个人信仰在塑造官员关于能源转型项目的决策方面发挥了重要作用。此外，通过根据他们的反对模式提出民选官员的类型学，我们为促进有效和可持续的当地能源转型提供了见解。

Beyond ‘Not in my electoral Year’: Why do some elected officials oppose renewable energy projects?

This study aimed to examine the reasons behind the wait-and-see and resistant attitudes of local elected officials regarding energy transition projects. Although there is consensus on the importance of renewable energy in combating climate change, its implementation at the local level often encounters opposition from several actors, including elected officials. This study identified the internal, external, and personal factors that influence this opposition by conducting semi-structured interviews with the French officials and stakeholders involved in the energy transition and by analysing the local and regional press. Our findings indicate that political strategies, regulatory complexities, and personal beliefs play significant roles in shaping officials’ decisions regarding energy transition projects. Furthermore, by proposing a typology of elected officials according to their modes of opposition, we offer insights to promote effective and sustainable local energy transitions.

期刊介绍： Global Environmental Change is a prestigious international journal that publishes articles of high quality, both theoretically and empirically rigorous. The journal aims to contribute to the understanding of global environmental change from the perspectives of human and policy dimensions. Specifically, it considers global environmental change as the result of processes occurring at the local level, but with wide-ranging impacts on various spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales. In terms of content, the journal seeks articles with a strong social science component. This includes research that examines the societal drivers and consequences of environmental change, as well as social and policy processes that aim to address these challenges. While the journal covers a broad range of topics, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate, coasts, food systems, land use and land cover, oceans, urban areas, and water resources, it also welcomes contributions that investigate the drivers, consequences, and management of other areas affected by environmental change. Overall, Global Environmental Change encourages research that deepens our understanding of the complex interactions between human activities and the environment, with the goal of informing policy and decision-making.
