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。

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。

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。

Super apps and the mobility transition

The mobility sector is undergoing a transformation towards a multimodal, sustainable, and user-centric system, driven by technological advancements and evolving business models. Super apps, which have already matured in Eastern markets, are now entering Western markets through the mobility sector, where they are poised to play a pivotal role in the mobility transition. We argue that the expected uptake of super apps will drive a transition towards a multi-service system, promoting the adoption of more sustainable transport modes while creating synergies with non-transport services. However, there remains a significant gap in research that explores the role of super apps within the broader context of mobility transitions. This perspective seeks to address this gap by describing how super apps could influence existing transport systems, while identifying future research areas such as regulatory frameworks, governance models, transition pathways and incumbent business model adaptation, and the socio-economic impacts of accelerating platformization.

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.
在各种背景下,决策界越来越多地转向可持续发展过渡领域,以帮助社会应对关键的可持续发展危机。在科学与政策亲和力的传统基础上,经过近十年的政策参与度不断提高,该领域现在已准备好为 "政策转向 "造势。然而,为了在这方面取得更快的进展,该领域最好能巩固其优势并解决紧迫的科学政策分歧。根据与政策制定者接触和参与加拿大联邦一级气候政策进程的实际经验,本政策简报就这些优势是什么以及如何提高未来的政策共鸣进行了思考。

This article explores the usefulness of the notion of alterity in waste management through a case study of Traperos de Emaús-Navarra, a bulky waste collection and recovery initiative in Spain. Guided by the principle of distributing work among more people, the initiative pursues shorter working hours and wage equality among its >300 employees. Drawing on this experience, the article explores alterity from three perspectives: an economic perspective centred on practices associated with the social and solidarity economy, an environmental perspective rooted in political ecology on waste, and an epistemological perspective focused on the recognition of subaltern practices and knowledge. This text contributes to sustainability transitions research by highlighting the knowledge and practices of subaltern actors that are typically overlooked by the hegemonic focus on eco-efficiency.
本文通过对西班牙大型废物收集和回收企业 Traperos de Emaús-Navarra 的案例研究,探讨了 "改变性 "概念在废物管理中的实用性。在多劳多得原则的指导下,该公司努力缩短工作时间,并在 300 名员工中实现工资平等。借鉴这一经验,文章从三个角度探讨了改变性:以社会经济和团结经济相关实践为中心的经济视角、植根于废弃物政治生态学的环境视角,以及以承认次等实践和知识为重点的认识论视角。这篇文章通过强调次等参与者的知识和实践,为可持续性过渡研究做出了贡献,这些知识和实践通常被生态效率的霸权关注所忽视。

The policy brief discusses how a challenge-oriented approach to place-based innovation policies can bring added value to EU Cohesion Policy. In so doing, it looks at the potential implications of a challenge-led logic on three dimensions: the rationale of Cohesion Policy, its operational aspects as well as its challenges in terms of governance and coordination. Three areas are explored: how a challenge-driven logic can offer a deliberative approach to formulate challenge-oriented territorial development priorities in the context of Cohesion Policy; how the challenge-oriented approach can provide an optimal coordination framework to consolidate and streamline public investments from across policy areas and governance levels; how it can reinforce stakeholders engagement in Cohesion Policy around localised challenges and help build challenge-oriented partnerships.
本政策简报讨论了以挑战为导向的地方创新政策如何为欧盟凝聚政策带来附加值。在此过程中,政策简报从三个方面探讨了以挑战为导向的逻辑可能产生的影响:凝聚政策的基本原理、其运作方面以及其在治理和协调方面面临的挑战。本报告探讨了三个领域:挑战驱动逻辑如何提供一种审议方法,以在凝聚力政策背景下制定以挑战为导向的地区发展优先事项;以挑战为导向的方法如何提供一个最佳协调框架,以整合和精简来自不同政策领域和治理层面的公共投资;如何加强利益相关方围绕本地化挑战参与凝聚力政策,并帮助建立以挑战为导向的伙伴关系。

Regional studies show that regions develop new technologies related to their existing knowledge base. R&D expenditure targeting sectors related to this knowledge base is, therefore, more promising to create innovative output. Using global patent data, we investigate whether path-dependency of innovation in climate-change mitigation and adaptation technologies (CCMTs) holds at the country level and depends on the country's development level. We study 197 countries during 2005–2018 and find that relatedness is a significant determinant of innovation in CCMTs, with stronger effects for developing countries. We construct a two-mode network linking countries to technological classes based on patenting activity to identify each country's existing knowledge and those CCMTs where they are most likely to innovate. This is valuable for decision-making on R&D spending and especially important for developing countries, which face stringent financial and human capital constraints in technology creation and thus require more targeted investments.
地区研究表明,各地区会开发与其现有知识基础相关的新技术。因此,针对与这一知识基础相关的部门的研发支出更有希望创造创新产出。利用全球专利数据,我们研究了气候变化减缓和适应技术(CCMTs)创新的路径依赖是否在国家层面成立,并且取决于国家的发展水平。我们对 2005-2018 年间的 197 个国家进行了研究,发现关联性是气候变化减缓和适应技术创新的重要决定因素,对发展中国家的影响更大。我们根据专利申请活动构建了一个双模式网络,将各国与技术类别联系起来,以确定每个国家的现有知识以及它们最有可能进行创新的 CCMT。这对研发支出的决策很有价值,对发展中国家尤其重要,因为这些国家在技术创造方面面临严格的财政和人力资本限制,因此需要更有针对性的投资。

This study contributes to the understanding of the spatiality of energy transitions in the East African Community (EAC) and to cross-regional conceptual learning. It is situated at the intersection of Sustainability Transitions and Energy Geography. Building on a conceptual framework developed by energy geographers, we conduct a conceptual review and examine the production of locations, landscapes, territories, and territoriality in the EAC. The study considers spatial differentiation and embedding across scales as preconditions for and outcomes of the shift to low-carbon energy systems. It examines how expanding energy infrastructure and related land-use changes transform livelihoods and daily spaces. The review provides a conceptual framework and language for a collective research agenda on EAC energy geographies, highlighting the complementarities and divergences between concepts in the two fields. The region's heterogeneity suggests multiple pathways and overlapping territories, which remain central to energy politics, a situation not yet as visible in high-income countries.
该研究有助于理解东非共同体能源转移的空间性,并有助于跨区域的概念学习。它位于可持续性转型和能源地理的交汇处。在能源地理学家开发的概念框架的基础上,我们进行了一个概念性的审查,并检查了EAC的地点、景观、领土和领土的生产。该研究认为,空间分异和跨尺度嵌入是向低碳能源系统转变的先决条件和结果。它考察了不断扩大的能源基础设施和相关的土地利用变化如何改变生计和日常空间。该综述为东亚共同体能源地理的集体研究议程提供了概念框架和语言,突出了两个领域概念之间的互补性和分歧。该地区的异质性表明,存在多种途径和重叠的领土,这仍然是能源政治的核心,这种情况在高收入国家尚不明显。

The region's heterogeneity suggests multiple pathways and overlapping territories, which remain central to energy politics, a situation not yet as visible in high-income countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"54 ","pages":"Article 100936"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High shares of renewable energy generation, digitalisation, and increased electrification are putting energy systems in flux. In this article we examine the ways households actively re-configure energy system relations at the local level and become agents in the ongoing energy transition. Drawing on assemblage theory, we foreground processes of emergence, the multiplicity of current configurations and the assemblage work required to create new infrastructure constellations. Through semi-structured interviews with households in Sweden and on-site visits we explore different situations where ambitions and desires of households, energy system actors and data service providers intersect and create particular logics of change. While assemblage work may result in households temporarily gaining greater agency by pursuing ideas of self-sufficiency, controlling their bills or the convenience of controlling devices, utilities and app providers also try to tap into this assemblage and integrate it towards a different logic of electricity grid governance or the data economy.
高比例的可再生能源发电、数字化和电气化程度的提高使能源系统处于不断变化之中。在本文中,我们研究了家庭如何在地方层面积极重新配置能源系统关系,并成为正在进行的能源转型的推动者。借鉴组合理论,我们强调了出现过程、当前配置的多重性以及创建新基础设施组合所需的组合工作。通过对瑞典家庭进行半结构化访谈和实地考察,我们探讨了家庭、能源系统参与者和数据服务提供商的抱负和愿望相互交织并产生特定变革逻辑的不同情况。虽然组合工作可能会使家庭通过追求自给自足、控制账单或控制设备的便利性而暂时获得更大的能动性,但公用事业公司和应用程序提供商也试图利用这种组合,并将其整合到不同的电网治理或数据经济逻辑中。
