Energy Transition Pathways in Megacities from a Socio-Technical Perspective:A Comparative Study on London and New York
摘要
Abstract
The efficacy and experience of energy transition in megacities warrant in-depth exploration in the context of the global climate crisis.Significant disparities exist in the energy transition performance between London and New York,the two megacities.This study employs a multi-level framework of socio-technical transition theory to compare and analyze the energy transition pathways and outcomes of these two cities.The results indicate that New York and London possess favorable conditions for fostering energy transition innovation at the micro-level of socio-technical niches.At the meso-level of socio-technical systems,energy transition innovation encounters obsta-cles in diffusing within New York City due to the volatile climate policies at the state and federal levels.Conversely,London's energy transition innovation is bolstered by support from the central government of the United Kingdom,enabling its smoother diffusion.At the macro-level of socio-technical landscapes,London's vulnerability to global energy market fluctuations compels it to pursue cross-region-al collaboration for energy transition,thereby strengthening its resilience in the face of international crises.This study highlights that while megacities serve as favorable environments for energy transition innovation incubation,the diffusion and scaling of such innova-tions hinge upon the support of central governments and cross-regional collaborative endeavors.In summary,successful energy transi-tion in megacities necessitates robust vertical and horizontal multi-level coordination among stakeholders to foster the development and dissemination of energy transition-related innovations while mitigating the lock-in effects of conventional energy systems.Achieving en-ergy transition in megacities relies on collaborative endeavors among diverse stakeholders across the macro,meso,and micro levels of the socio-technical system.关键词
