Abstract
Policymaking communities across a wide breadth of contexts are increasingly turning to the field of sustainability transitions to help inform the societal response to critical sustainability crises. Building on a legacy of science-policy affinity and after nearly a decade of rising policy engagement, the field is now poised to build momentum for a ‘policy turn’. However, to make more rapid progress in this regard, the field would do well to consolidate its strengths and address pressing science-policy divides. Based on practical experience engaging with policymakers and taking part in the climate policy process at the federal level in Canada, this policy brief offers reflections on what these strengths are and how to improve policy resonance going forward.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions serves as a platform for reporting studies on innovations and socio-economic transitions aimed at fostering an environmentally sustainable economy, thereby addressing structural resource scarcity and environmental challenges, particularly those associated with fossil energy use and climate change. The journal focuses on various forms of innovation, including technological, organizational, economic, institutional, and political, as well as economy-wide and sectoral changes in areas such as energy, transport, agriculture, and water management. It endeavors to tackle complex questions concerning social, economic, behavioral-psychological, and political barriers and opportunities, along with their intricate interactions. With a multidisciplinary approach and methodological openness, the journal welcomes contributions from a wide array of disciplines within the social, environmental, and innovation sciences.
