摘要

This study explores the progress of climate adaptation planning in U.S. cities from 2011 to 2021 through the lenses of innovation theory. It investigates the factors that prompted cities to initially engage in climate adaptation efforts and subsequently progress by developing and publishing adaptation plans. Given the predominance of case studies and the scarcity of quantitative analysis in the climate adaptation literature, this research fills a gap by offering a longitudinal perspective on the progress of climate adaptation in U.S. cities. In 2011, a survey of 230 U.S. cities revealed that 55% had initiated climate adaptation efforts. However, as of 2021, only 43% advanced in the field. Using logistic regression, the study assesses the impact of 17 indicators related to innovation factors on cities’ decisions to both initiate and advance climate adaptation planning. The findings reveal a striking contrast between what influences cities to engage in adaptation and what contributes to their progress in the field.
