Moving beyond implementation gaps in climate policy
Urban municipalities are commonly viewed as critical actors in net zero transitions due to their unique positionality between vertical levels of government and the communities they represent. Despite a swathe of ambitious climate policy stances at the municipal level, we are yet to witness the level of change required to achieve net zero transitions. Whilst the disconnect between policy rhetoric and implementation is well-documented, this study s…
Living Worlds for Net Zero
This paper examines how Transition Management (TM) visioning can be reconfigured to more explicitly engage with everyday experience, materiality, and embodied forms of sense-making in sustainability transitions. While participatory approaches to visioning increasingly incorporate immersive and material practices, TM visioning continues to privilege abstract, system-level imaginaries and offers limited guidance for integrating lived, place-based e…
Building capacity for sustainability transformations through transdisciplinary experimentation
In 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established that global greenhouse gas emissions trajectories are not on track to limiting warming to less than 2 ° C above pre-industrial averages (IPCC 2022a). Given that broader progress towards ambitious climate change and sustainability goals remains incremental, a whole-of-society approach, including transformative innovation in the private sector, is required to trigger the nece…
Assessing directionality and institutional production in SDG localisation
Mission-oriented policy thinking is useful to accelerate SDG localisation. • Assessing directionality and institutional production is critical to SDG implementation. • Incorporating SDGs in urban policies is far from inducing sustainability transitions. • Policy coordination is important to speed up SDG localisation. Cities are actively seeking pathways to localise the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs] to address urban challenges and drive bro…
Opportunities for social sustainability through local governance of mine and quarry restoration
Local government has no major role in mine and quarry rehabilitation in Victoria Australia. • Socially sustainable rehabilitation requires knowledge of the local context. • Synthesis of strategic planning documents and experience of 20 council officers. • Benefits for local government involvement due to their role in strategic planning. • Subsidiary role in multi-level governance reduces capacity to influence outcomes. Sustainable development in …
Headlining justice from coalfields to clean futures
Incorporating justice considerations into energy transitions dialogues is important. However, what constitutes what is (un)just is perceived differently by different actors and is subject to moral interpretations and influenced by broader landscape factors. The media in particular are considered salient in framing how particular issues are presented, understood and actioned upon. The current study used a framing approach to unpack the conceptuali…
Expanding theories of learning for adaptive governance
Adaptive governance scholarship applies the concept of multiple-loop learning to analyse the depth of learning necessary for society to adequately address environmental challenges. However, multiple-loop learning is rarely used to explain negative or mixed governance outcomes. We do so here, by developing a framework that matches concepts of single-loop, double-loop, and triple-loop learning against three types of ‘governance actions’ by civil so…
Framing of innovation in urban Australian municipal climate policy
Despite growing recognition of the importance of innovation in achieving net zero transitions, it remains unclear how to govern transformative innovation. Urban municipalities are consistently recognised for going above and beyond their state and national counterparts in their policy stances on climate change, yet there is limited investigation into how municipalities engage with and frame innovation in their decarbonisation policies, plans and s…
The spatial dynamics of urban experimentation
Globally, cities are confronted with multifaceted climate mitigation and adaptation challenges, requiring experimentation with new socio-technical systems to accelerate sustainability transitions and enhance resilience. An emerging urban governance approach centred on experimentation—employed to test socio-technical innovations and promote learning—has gained traction in scholarship and practice. Research has shown that generalising and aggregati…
Aesthetic experience of raingardens
Raingardens, as part of urban green infrastructure, are being retrofitted in cities worldwide to contribute to urban sustainability and resilience. Technical function is essential, as is aesthetic function to optimise their community acceptance. Unlike technical design guidelines, aesthetic design guidelines for raingardens are limited. Experience of a landscape can contribute to its bio-physical sustainability, however not all landscape aestheti…
Place-based and sectoral patterns in urban experimentation
Offers a large-N multi-system analysis of experiments across utility sectors. • Integrates sectoral and place-based perspectives in studying urban experiments. • Reveals similarities and differences in experiments across water and energy domains. • Shows few social innovations and distinct territorial logic influencing transfers. • Contributes to hypothesis building on multi-system experiments and deep transitions. Transforming critical infrastru…
Pluralising place frames in urban transition management
This paper is concerned with unpacking net-zero frames and identifying implications for precinct scale urban transition management. Using data from frontrunner interviews and secondary sources in a case study on the Monash Technology Precinct (Melbourne, Australia), the analysis points towards four frames of net-zero at precinct scale: 'Electrify Everything' focuses on technology development to achieve carbon emissions reductions; 'Place Matters'…
Policy sequencing for early-stage transition dynamics – A process model and comparative case study in the water sector
A tale of two cities
The call for adaptive governance approaches to guide the sustainable transformation of urban water management systems is growing amongst scholars and policy professionals. Responding to this call, the Global North (GN) has focused significant evidence-based research on issues of scale, capacity, and institutional arrangements to support such transformations, whereas evidence from the Global South remains nascent. This paper contributes to the gro…

Regionalisation of Environmental Management
Regional planning for and management of the environment and natural resources are the new foci of the Australian Government's funding initiative, the Natural Heritage Trust Phase Two (NHT2). NHT2 attempts to integrate and coordinate the efforts of the many local environmental community groups that work on-ground. By operating at the regional scale, it is expected that more strategic and targeted outcomes will be achieved. This paper examines how …

Conceptualising the built environment to inform sustainable urban transitions
Integrated, Regional, Natural Resource and Environmental Planning and the Natural Heritage Trust Phase 2
Since 2002, the Australian Natural Heritage Trust Phase 2 (NHT2) has required community groups seeking funds for natural resource management projects to have developed nationally accredited regional strategies and investment plans. This case study reports on the progress of one such regional (and sub-regional) group, examining in particular the perceptions of the community group members and other stakeholders of the overall process. Through inter…
