Recent calls for critical social science research on hydrogen have largely focused on “green” hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources. What these calls have not fully considered is that hydrogen is a substance that has been used and produced at scale by hydrocarbon industries for decades. The fossil-based knowledge, technology, and infrastructure of this carbon past remain at the heart of the future hydrogen economy, as exemplified by the socially and environmentally problematic rise of “blue” hydrogen. To achieve a socio-ecological hydrogen transition, social science research on hydrogen needs to start from hydrogen’s carbon past in order to identify and contribute to the active reworking of hydrocarbon path dependencies.

Evaluations on transdisciplinary research suggest that co-creation should place greater emphasis on the first steps of co-design. This report provides insights and reflections on a sustainable fruit breeding project initiated by practitioners.The research project EGON explored a new organizational approach in the fruit sector that builds upon common ownership and collective management: commons-based organic fruit breeding. As agricultural and breeding actors initiated the writing of the research proposal, they became involved on equal footing in the joint problem framing and design of the research project from the very start. In this Design Report, we explore contextual factors in the co-design and co-production phase and their influence on the research process, as well as scientific and societal effects. Based on interviews with scientific and practitioner partners in the consortium, we find that early and continuous professional networking with practitioners is essential for fruitful transdisciplinary research processes. Also, joint activities like common excursions, seminars, and joint conference presentations have been valuable to develop mutual understanding, curiosity, and trust. What turned out to be crucial for the commons-based approach of the project were adequate funding opportunities for practitioners in systematic and scientifically supported breeding processes.

Graz University of Technology’s largest campus shall be turned into a low-carbon energy district. We explore ways of transformation by using a deliberative multi-criteria approach, in order to “open up” stakeholder perspectives. The results shed light on discrepancies among the participants: While they share doubt about carbon capture, utilization and storage, the experts differ widely in their assessments of other options. We conclude by outlining a strategy harmonizing divergent assumptions and expectations.Low-carbon energy districts are considered to play important roles for achieving the ambitious climate targets set by the Paris Agreement. While such districts are expected to integrate all dimensions of sustainability, assessing their sustainability performance remains challenging. Against this background, we take multi-criteria mapping (MCM), a deliberative and stakeholder-driven multi-criteria decision-making approach, to evaluate Graz University of Technology’s current efforts to turn its largest campus into a low-carbon energy district. Based on scoping interviews, a focus group, and eleven mapping sessions with key stakeholders, nine core options were identified and assessed. By analyzing quantitative assessments and the specific criteria and argumentation patterns that underlie these assessments, our study “opens up” different perspectives on potential implementation options and highlights the complex and contradictory nature of sustainable (energy) transformations at the district level. The study concludes with the suggestion of using future workshops to align diverging perspectives and expectations.

Durch deutsch-französischen Dialog die sozial-ökologische Transformation auf kommunaler Ebene voranzubringen, das ist das Anliegen des Deutsch-Französischen Zukunftswerks. Denn Fragen des Klimaschutzes, der Resilienz und der nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung stellen sich transnational. Und auf beiden Seiten der Grenze ist es den Kommunen wichtig, zentralstaatliche Barrieren abzubauen und eine effektive Förderung einzufordern. Darüber hinaus gibt es viele Ansatzpunkte, bei Fragen des täglichen transformativen Handelns voneinander zu lernen und zu profitieren.

Sustainability challenges require the integration of diverse knowledge types for understanding and managing social-ecological systems. Participatory modelling includes the active involvement of stakeholders in the design, development, and use of models addressing sustainability and natural resource management challenges. Participatory modelling has the potential to support learning and co-production of knowledge, and aid in processes of deliberations, decision-making, collective management, and social learning.
