Innovation systems are relational, with actors forming connections to enhance system functions. What drives these connections? The resource-based theory of system building suggests actors pursue relationships based on resource availability and distribution. Network theory adds that social processes vary across innovation system functions, affecting configurations and actor involvement. This study examines these ideas using the case of the US organic seed niche, operationalizing the seed innovation system as four functional networks. The analysis shows that all the functional networks are shaped by “partner mode” structures, suggesting that cooperative relationships form when resources are available and distributed, with some variation across functions. Institutional affiliations also affect actors' involvement in specific innovation system functions, with differences between non-profit and for-profit actors. This research advances sustainability transitions by empirically testing and extending existing theories with network analysis, offering generalizable insights into innovation system formation.

Climate change and chemical pollution are interdependent planetary threats, but climate change mitigation efforts typically do not consider chemicals and materials. This may exacerbate chemical pollution and associated harm to human and environmental health. Because most chemicals and materials are currently derived from petrochemicals, the extraction of fossil fuels cannot be limited without transitioning chemical manufacturing to different carbon sources. However, simply changing the carbon source is insufficient and could exacerbate the biodiversity crisis. We propose a comprehensive strategy to address the interconnections between chemical pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. This includes incentives for key actors to reduce the global production and consumption of chemicals and materials, to transition to chemicals and products that are safe and sustainable by design, to develop metrics and targets to assess progress, and to continuously evaluate and modify strategies based on performance metrics.

This paper analyses how uncertainties around the uptake of heat pumps and electric vehicles (low carbon technologies) are being managed within the regulatory regime for electricity distribution networks in Britain. Within the sustainability transitions field several studies have identified electricity networks and regulation as an important topic and have focused on the introduction of innovation incentives for monopoly network companies. The main contribution made to this research agenda is to broaden the frame of analysis from innovation policy to examine the challenges associated with whole system reconfiguration and the transformation of incumbent regulatory regimes. The empirical basis of the paper is an analysis of regulatory decision making in relation to the approval of large capital investments in regional electricity distribution networks. We analyse attempts to reconfigure the networks and the incumbent regulatory regime, focusing on efforts to align network planning and regulation with net zero.

The German transportation sector's negative contribution to climate change amongst broader social, environmental, and economic problems is applying evermore pressure to the prevailing automobility regime to bring about its transformation. However, the vision of this transition, referred to as the Verkehrswende or Mobilitätswende, is highly contested, with varying conceptions of different actors about the future of mobility in Germany. A discourse network analysis (DNA) is performed to examine the development of the related policy debate, identify key problem and solution framings and analyse the overall discourse evolution from 2018 to mid-2023. The findings highlight how recent exogenous events shape and reframe the discourse, inciting debates around viable mobility futures. Further, our analysis uncovers a novel discursive strategy termed repugnostic framing, through which incumbent actors aim to oppose the framings of other discursive agents, leading to increased lines of conflict and polarisation, thus possibly hindering effective policy implementation.

Regions reliant on declining fossil fuel production often grapple with upcoming deindustrialisation, economic decline, and deterioration of liveability. In attempts to address these issues proactively, local change agents, including sub-national government authorities, increasingly collaborate to develop new, more sustainable and just regional pathways. A potential yet not uncontested stepping stone towards such pathways is co-creative asset redevelopment. In this paper, we focus on the role of sub-national government authorities in co-creative redevelopment. Particularly, we zoom in on the legitimacy challenges that these authorities face and must address for co-creative redevelopment to have transformative capacity. We draw on insights from the case of GZI Next in Emmen, the Netherlands, and identify six challenges, amongst others intra-organisational conflicts of interests, accountability issues, and competing claims to the right to a just transition. We reflect on these challenges and how to overcome them and propose avenues for future research.

Households are moving beyond the adoption of single renewable energy technologies. Additive adoption of heating systems has resulted in ‘hybrid heating’ comprised of several complementary energy systems. The hybridization of heating is spreading rapidly among households, featuring high diversity regarding both the make-up of hybrid solutions and the householders who create them. Our close-up study of 56 Finnish households characterizes different aspects of hybrid heating and their interrelations. Households display considerable agency in setting-up, running and adjusting and innovating in their hybrids. Hybrid heating can be conceptualized as configurational arrangements that are made to ‘work’ in a particular setting, meshing, e.g. material, social and economic resources. From a policy perspective ‘hybrid heaters’ are not a coherent group to which supporting measures are easy to target. Yet this diversity also indicates a broadly distributed capacity for households to advance the low carbon energy transitions through hybridization of heating.

While clean energy facilities (CEFs) play a crucial role in advancing the energy transition and in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, incumbents in the clean energy market often face public concerns stemming from wrongdoing and accidents within the industry, prompting them to engage in legitimacy maintenance for their CEFs. We know little about the specific strategies incumbents employ for this purpose. To address this gap, we conducted a qualitative study focusing on the State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) in China. Our findings extend existing research on organizational legitimacy by revealing five discursive and three visual strategies of legitimation. We further highlight two specific forms of intermodal associations between discursive and visual modes: concurrence and complementarity. Moreover, our study contributes to the energy transition literature by explaining how these discursive and visual strategies benefit incumbents in the clean energy market.

This article describes the current and potential engagement of households in decarbonizing a residential heating system in Poland. Using the discussion on energy citizenship, we identified modes of householder engagement – material and discursive – in low-carbon energy transitions. Next, based on empirical data from a survey, desk research, interviews, and citizen workshops, we established enabling and hindering contextual factors for engagement and conducted a two-stage cluster analysis to identify six personas (householder types). We then examined each persona's current and potential engagement against the identified modes of engagement and contextual factors. Our findings indicate that, until recently, fossil fuels were an unquestioned heat source in Polish households. The shifting external environment, notably the energy crisis resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the changing regulatory framework, has stimulated increased household interest in low-carbon transition. However, one must recognize the householders’ varying approaches and values in the process.

本文描述了波兰住宅供暖系统脱碳家庭的当前和潜在参与情况。通过对能源公民身份的讨论，我们确定了低碳能源转型中住户参与的模式——物质和话语。接下来，基于来自调查、案头研究、访谈和公民研讨会的经验数据，我们建立了促成和阻碍参与的背景因素，并进行了两阶段聚类分析，以确定六个角色（户主类型）。然后，我们根据已确定的参与模式和背景因素，检查每个角色当前和潜在的参与情况。我们的研究结果表明，直到最近，化石燃料一直是波兰家庭无可争议的热源。不断变化的外部环境，尤其是俄罗斯入侵乌克兰导致的能源危机和不断变化的监管框架，激发了家庭对低碳转型的兴趣。然而，在这个过程中，人们必须认识到户主不同的方法和价值观。

The potential impact of cultivated protein on agriculture in Norway 栽培蛋白质对挪威农业的潜在影响

Cultivated protein has the potential to provide animal protein-based food products in a much more environmentally sustainable way than conventional livestock production. A few products are now available on the market, yet little is known of what increasing market penetration by this potentially disruptive technology could mean for conventional agriculture and the food system as a whole. To address this issue, we simulate increasing market shares of cultivated protein-based food products in an economic model for Norwegian agriculture and evaluate environmental and economic impacts. Assuming no change in current policy and increased animal protein demand from a growing Norwegian population, the model suggests that the introduction of cultivated protein would mostly substitute food imports while leaving domestic agriculture largely unaffected. Harsh consequences for animal agriculture by 2050 are thus unlikely to eventuate in Norway.

与传统畜牧业生产相比，养殖蛋白质有可能以一种环境可持续得多的方式提供基于动物蛋白的食品。目前市场上有一些产品，但人们对这种潜在的颠覆性技术对传统农业和整个粮食系统的日益增长的市场渗透意味着什么知之甚少。为了解决这个问题，我们在挪威农业的经济模型中模拟了种植蛋白质食品的市场份额的增加，并评估了环境和经济影响。假设目前的政策没有改变，而不断增长的挪威人口对动物蛋白的需求增加，该模型表明，种植蛋白质的引入将主要替代食品进口，而国内农业在很大程度上不受影响。因此，到2050年对畜牧业造成的严重后果不太可能在挪威发生。

Just transition boundaries: Clarifying the meaning of just transition 公正过渡边界：澄清公正过渡的含义

The rapid expansion of the public discussion and research on just transition implies the risk of watering down either justice or the (eco-)socio-technical transition itself. We create a theoretical notion of just transition boundaries and propose it to help consider non-negotiable limits to just transition discourse and make sense of negotiations within such limits. Just transition boundaries are comprised of ecological and social boundaries. They determine that just transition-processes must bring societies effectively within the safety thresholds of the two most critical planetary boundaries, climate change and biodiversity loss, and must do that by means and supportive measures that protect vulnerable groups from falling or getting stuck below social minimums in those processes. Boundaries leave room for plural values and visions for realizing transitions and remaining within safe thresholds in community-specific conditions. Context-specific additions to what just transition should cover are possible insofar as they do not contradict or risk just transition boundaries. In addition to justifying and conceptualizing just transition boundaries, we reflect on its implications for policymaking and research.

关于公正过渡的公开讨论和研究的迅速扩展意味着存在淡化公正或（生态）社会技术过渡本身的风险。我们创建了公正转型界限的理论概念，并提出这一概念来帮助考虑公正转型论述中不可协商的界限，以及在这些界限内进行协商的意义。公正过渡界限由生态和社会界限组成。它们决定了公正过渡进程必须将社会有效地纳入气候变化和生物多样性丧失这两个最关键的地球界限的安全阈值内，并且必须通过各种手段和支持性措施来实现这一目标，以保护弱势群体在这些进程中不会跌落或陷入社会最低标准以下。边界为实现过渡和在特定社区条件下保持在安全阈值内的多元价值观和愿景留出了空间。只要不违背或危及公正过渡的界限，就可以根据具体情况增加公正过渡应涵盖的内容。除了对公正过渡界限进行论证和概念化之外，我们还思考了其对决策和研究的影响。
