Abstract
Research on local and state climate change policy has grown extensively in the last 15−20 years. However, regional climate change, particularly as it relates to transportation policymaking and administration, remains an understudied area of climate change research around the world. Transportation work crosses multiple levels of government, making it challenging to evaluate and leaving room for additional studies. California, as an environmental leader and a major source of transportation emissions, provides an excellent backdrop for understanding the intersection of climate change and transportation policy. Using qualitative data about transportation groups in California cities and regions, this study will help us understand how transportation policy subsystems have evolved to consider sustainability and climate change goals along with the transportation needs of residents. This project investigates sources of conflict and agreement among transportation interest groups to better understand how coalitions operate within this important subsystem. Transportation and climate change planning connects research on justice, governance, infrastructure support, and environmental equity while providing needed knowledge about one of the largest climate champions in the world: the state of California. 过去15‐20年间, 关于地方和州气候变化政策的研究得到了广泛发展。然而, 区域气候变化, 特别是与交通政策制定和管理相关的区域气候变化, 仍然是全球气候变化研究中有待分析的领域。交通工作横跨多个政府层级, 因此很难评估, 也为进一步研究留下了空间。加利福尼亚州作为环境领导者和交通排放的主要来源之一, 为理解气候变化和交通政策的交叉提供了绝佳的背景。通过使用有关加州城市和地区交通团体的定性数据, 本研究将帮助我们理解交通政策子系统如何演变, 以考量可持续性和气候变化目标以及居民的交通需求。该项目调查了交通利益集团之间冲突和一致的来源, 以更好地理解联盟如何在这个重要子系统中运作。交通和气候变化规划将“正义、治理、基础设施支持以及环境公平”方面的研究联系起来, 同时提供有关“加利福尼亚州这一世界上最大的气候支持者之一”的必要知识。 La investigación sobre políticas locales y estatales en materia de cambio climático ha crecido considerablemente en los últimos 15 a 20 años. Sin embargo, el cambio climático regional, en particular en lo que se refiere a la formulación y administración de políticas de transporte, sigue siendo un área poco estudiada en la investigación sobre cambio climático en todo el mundo. El trabajo en materia de transporte abarca múltiples niveles de gobierno, lo que dificulta su evaluación y deja espacio para estudios adicionales. California, como líder ambiental y fuente principal de emisiones de transporte, ofrece un excelente contexto para comprender la intersección entre el cambio climático y las políticas de transporte. Utilizando datos cualitativos sobre los grupos de transporte en las ciudades y regiones de California, este estudio nos ayudará a comprender cómo han evolucionado los subsistemas de políticas de transporte para considerar los objetivos de sostenibilidad y cambio climático junto con las necesidades de transporte de los residentes. Este proyecto investiga las fuentes de conflicto y acuerdo entre los grupos de interés en materia de transporte para comprender mejor cómo operan las coaliciones dentro de este importante subsistema. La planificación del transporte y el cambio climático conecta la investigación sobre justicia, gobernanza, apoyo a la infraestructura y equidad ambiental, al tiempo que proporciona el conocimiento necesario sobre uno de los mayores defensores del clima en el mundo: el estado de California.
