日本語

本論文は、地方自治体が気候変動対策において重要な役割を果たし得ることを論じているが、その効果は限定的である。そこで「運動を媒介とした垂直的政策フィードバック」という枠組みを提案し、地方自治体が社会運動を資源提供や障壁除去を通じて支援することで、州や連邦政府などの上位政府に向けた気候政策を促進できると主張する。米国3都市でのインタビューに基づき、資金、物理的スペース、教育などの地方政策が気候運動の能力と有効性に影響を与えることを明らかにした。

English

This paper argues that local governments can advance climate policy at higher levels of government by strategically resourcing and channeling social movements. Through 41 interviews in three US cities, the study finds that local policies on funding, space, education, and policing shape the effectiveness of climate movements, offering a new mechanism for policy feedback theory.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本では、地方自治体による気候変動対策（ゼロカーボンシティ宣言など）が進むが、国の政策への影響力は限定的。本論文は、自治体が市民運動を活用し上位政府への波及効果を生む可能性を示唆しており、日本の地方自治体の戦略立案に参考となる。

In the global GX context

While local climate action is growing globally, its impact on national policy is underexplored. This paper provides a framework for local governments to amplify their influence by supporting social movements, relevant for cities worldwide seeking to scale climate action beyond their jurisdiction.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Offers a novel mechanism (movement-mediated vertical feedback) for policy feedback theory, bridging local climate action and social movement studies.

🏢実務担当者:Local government officials can learn how funding, space, and education policies can empower climate movements to drive higher-level policy change.

🏛政策担当者:Highlights how local governments can indirectly influence state/national climate policy, suggesting a complementary strategy to direct advocacy.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Across the country, city, school district, and county governments have long been leaders on climate action. Meanwhile, much of the action by states and the federal government is stalled or is being reversed. Though local governments’ efforts are promising, they alone cannot achieve the emissions reductions required to meet national and international climate targets. Nascent literature examines the role of interest groups in cross-jurisdictional policy feedback, but scant research considers this feedback between local governments and higher levels of government or considers the use of social movements as a medium of policy feedback. I propose a framework of movement-mediated vertical policy feedback, arguing that local governments can advance climate policy at higher levels by strategically resourcing, channeling, and removing policy barriers to social movement organizing. Drawing on 41 semi-structured interviews with climate organizers, elected officials, and bureaucrats in Austin, TX; Charlotte, NC; and Portland, OR, I examine how local policies shape the capacity and effectiveness of the climate movement. Interviewees identified challenges social movements and governments face and described local policies related to funding, physical space, input opportunities, education, social welfare, and policing as influencing climate organizing outcomes. My findings suggest that local governments—often unintentionally—play a significant role in enabling or constraining movements that pressure policymakers at higher levels of government. By understanding local policy as a lever for empowering social movements, this study contributes a new mechanism to policy feedback theory and offers insights for local governments seeking to advance climate action beyond their formal authority.
