In waste management, a classic field of environmental governance, the political idea of “twinning” the green with the digital transition can be expected to gain performative power. To explore the question of how far this is the case and to what effect, we argue for a closer examination of enactments of and contestations around the twin transition policy discourse in daily practices of technology use. As a sensitizing concept, we use Mike Michael’s (2017) idea of the “ecology of futures” in order to help us explore ways and means by which digital and green futures are envisioned and become material in the technology-practice assemblages of a municipal waste management company in Germany. We identify three different “modes” of linking and decoupling these futures to and from each other. More precisely, we reveal how the “win-win” of a technology-mediated twinning policy is enacted, complemented, and even contested by other future visions at the company level. These are related to experimental playgrounds where, in their everyday routines, many workers do not refer to environmental goals at all. We conclude that considering such a plurality of perspectives may provide the basis for opening up and re-politicizing the debate around the twin transition. What role green visions of the future will play in this, however, remains open.

This article analyzes the efforts to create and consolidate spaces for indigenous participation within a protected area in Argentina. It explores the significance of co-management in the indigenous Mapuche people’s struggles for autonomy over the decisions made within their ancestral territories. Co-management represents an important step towards institutional transformation in the relationship between park administration and people, but it is conditioned by the wider structures of domination and difference in settler colonial societies. The provincial Mapuche organization and community authorities strategize to push the limits to participation further by turning to gobernanza, literally governance, thereby moving from the management of specific resources to the governance of a set of broader territorial relationships.

There is a growing demand for more soil-centric policies to ensure sustainable land management and soil security. The concept of soil security enhances our understanding of soil multifunctionality as a comprehensive framework for soil protection. Utilising the soil security concept in policymaking can substantially improve the consistency and harmonisation of regional and global policies related to soil security. This paper reviews the fundamental aspects of the soil security concept, explores the diverse roles of soil, and proposes nine core principles for policymaking to guide the development of soil legislation. Comprehensive and effective soil policies should not only recognise these core principles but also encompass all dimensions of soil security. To illustrate this point, we analyse the current policy status and propose a policy framework for soil’s role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, which is a prominent topic of environmental debate. Our approach demonstrates how the policy principles are reflected in the five dimensions of soil security, leading to a policymaking framework that is soil-centric, inclusive, and verifiable.

Scientists and practitioners working on digital twins promise to deliver replicas of the energy system and its components, able to automatically operate in real-time and generate countless scenarios to advise with planning of new infrastructures. Despite the enthusiasm across the industry, digital twins received criticisms for being mere empty buzzwords, unable to contribute to the ‘twin transition’ of digital and energy sectors. This article aims to understand the phenomenon of hype surrounding digital twins, treating it as an attempt to surface or conceal particular issues regarding energy governance. The analysis reveals that initially hype helped to enrol a broad community of stakeholders through the promises of detailed, real-time modelling, developed in tandem with responsible innovation tools for data scientists. Soon after, this framing brought about disappointment and confusion. With data access emerging as a key challenge, practitioners are re-aligning the agenda towards the creation of the infrastructure for data sharing. However, the debate on the ethics and politics of digital twins stayed with the initial framing of ‘digital twins-as-models’. In other words, the politics of data sharing were concealed. As such, digital twins require sociotechnical analysis beyond the modelling-specific concerns of bias, accuracy or explainability. Energy governance should focus instead on anticipating the reconfiguration of the political and economic relationships enabled by new data sharing infrastructures. The article concludes with identifying three governance concerns related to data sharing infrastructures in energy: 1) transparent procurement; 2) public engagement in grid upgrades; 3) sustainable financing of public IT projects.

Recent events have increased European interest in green hydrogen collaborations with countries in the Global South. While there is an opportunity to create truly mutually beneficial partnerships, time pressures may lead to repeating the same mistakes that have historically plagued the extractive sectors. Transition studies offer a number of concepts that can be applied to navigate and plan for a just green hydrogen transition. Overall, there is a need to move beyond techno-economic analysis and "humanize" the green hydrogen transition.

Tying social protection to the blue economy—using marine resources for rural economic growth and improved livelihoods while preserving the health of the ocean ecosystem - is potentially a powerful and sustainable means of improving small-scale fisheries. This paper examines critical links between social protection and the blue economy, emphasizing small-scale fisheries as part of a broader transformative social protection agenda. In the face of climate change and other global shocks, shock-responsive social protection and adaptive social protection may be useful frameworks to envisage social protection in the fisheries sector. We discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of enhancing social protection for fisheries-dependent households and how social protection and fisheries management initiatives can be complementary. Particularly, we underscore the importance of enhancing economic inclusion and sustainable fisheries management through the possible implementation and rollout of various social protection policies and programmes that address marine and aquatic food systems. We provide support on the importance of various social protection instruments-both formal and informal for supporting marine and aquatic food systems both proactively and reactively for enhanced livelihoods. To end, we highlight and discuss issues of marginalisation and the significant youth and gender gaps which are commonplace in the fisheries sector, identifying some areas for policy entry and action.

将社会保护与蓝色经济联系起来--利用海洋资源促进农村经济增长和改善生计，同时保护海洋生态系统的健康--可能是改善小型渔业的有力和可持续的手段。本文探讨了社会保护与蓝色经济之间的重要联系，强调小型渔业是更广泛的社会保护转型议程的一部分。面对气候变化和其他全球冲击，应对冲击的社会保护和适应性社会保护可能是设想渔业领域社会保护的有用框架。我们讨论了加强对依赖渔业的家庭的社会保护所面临的一些挑战和机遇，以及社会保护和渔业管理措施如何互补。特别是，我们强调了通过实施和推广针对海洋和水生食物系统的各种社会保护政策和计划，加强经济包容性和可持续渔业管理的重要性。我们支持各种正式和非正式的社会保护手段，以积极主动地支持海洋和水产食品系统，改善生计。最后，我们强调并讨论了边缘化问题以及渔业领域普遍存在的青年和性别差距，确定了一些政策进入和行动领域。

The Blue-Green Action Platform (BlueGAP) information system (IS) is an intelligent cyberinfrastructure framework designed to support large-scale water quality assessments in the context of demographic statistics and community stories about water issues. The system prioritizes collaboration with interested parties in three pilot watersheds with test cases implemented in US locations including Iowa, Tampa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The BlueGAP IS leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies with large language models based on regional nutrient management issues and community knowledge to provide access to water quality information. The current focus of the system is on nitrate in drinking water, rivers, and waterways, and can be expanded to incorporate other water quality information. BlueGAP identifies possible partnerships and promotes collaborations among diverse stakeholders to facilitate effective evaluation of nitrogen-related analytes, guide action to address possible pollution, and outline sustainable water management practices. The BlueGAP IS also emphasizes its educational mission by connecting water quality data with inclusive and accessible educational content through AI technology. By integrating nitrogen data and water quality issues into educational resources, BlueGAP fosters a deeper understanding of water quality issues across diverse communities, empowering users to make informed decisions and contribute to sustainable water management practices.

The actions of cities will be pivotal in our transition to a low-carbon future. City-level decision-makers are well placed to influence and facilitate this transition. Decarbonising transport, buildings, and energy is key to combating the climate crisis and reaching self-assigned city-level carbon targets to curb warming and protect the environment. However, deciding which decarbonisation projects to implement is an issue. Choosing the wrong project could have financial or reputational repercussions, thus deciding on an appropriate set of interventions can be challenging for city decision-makers. Learning about the successes and challenges of city-level sustainability projects is vital for decision-makers at the city-level hoping to create of their own low-carbon city. To this end, this article outlines a new, practical method developed with city-level decision-makers that identifies key learning opportunities from other cities based on their own decarbonisation priorities. This city-to-city learning framework makes selecting decarbonisation projects easier and more efficient, as it enables users to identify decarbonisation projects that align with their environmental plans and priorities. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) provides a case study for the application of this framework, demonstrating how the learning framework is used to narrow down the most suitable decarbonisation projects for the Greater Manchester city-region, based on bespoke sustainability criteria and targets. This work contributes to the formalisation of city-to-city learning pathways, outlining the ways that cities want to learn from others, and highlighting where to begin this learning process to accelerate climate action.

Debates on the future of energy justice: Re-grounding the triumvirate

Energy justice is now a well-established pillar of the energy and social science field, primarily framed as the triumvirate of tenets of distributional, recognition and procedural justice. Triumvirate+ approaches also incorporate restorative and cosmopolitan justice. Most recently, the ‘five principles of energy justice’ was proposed to standardise the field. Prompted by the ‘five principles’ proposal alongside exchanges within critical energy justice scholarship, this perspective is framed by the debate between universalising or plural approaches to energy justice. It considers the triumvirate of tenets in relation to restorative justice, cosmopolitan justice and the triumvirate's broader pluralising potential. Particular attention is awarded to cosmopolitan justice and its anthropocentric tendency. Instead, this perspective proposes a re-grounding of energy justice in its environmental justice conceptual roots while maintaining the three tenets of distribution, procedure and recognition justice as a potential way forward. A re-grounded triumvirate of tenets, enriched by a decade of diverse scholarship and which departs from universalising approaches can continue to add important value across energy transition contexts, while preserving pluralising potential.
