Climate Change in the Arctic
A policy simulation is designed to create a safe, fictional environment that captures the complexity and salient features of future governance and policy issues. The goal is to deepen participants’ understanding of the issues at hand and provide a way to explore possible solutions on challenging topics. We report on a policy simulation for emerging leaders in the Arctic. The simulation addressed pressing issues related to adaptation to climate ch…
We rather not connect trade to politics, let alone geopolitics” – The changing role of Russia as a landscape pressure for zero-carbon energy transitions
This article aims for conceptual and empirical insights by focusing on a missing aspect in sustainability transitions research: the geopolitical setting as a landscape pressure for energy transitions. It analyses how energy super-power Russia is depicted before and after 2022 as a factor influencing the energy transition of small northern European countries: Estonia, Finland and Norway. The article also provides empirical findings on the impacts …
Interrelations between security and the zero‐carbon energy transition in the Finnish and Norwegian Arctic
The Arctic faces major energy-related changes: its production, consumption and transportation must be decarbonised. Furthermore, geopolitical interests in the area are growing, with tensions around land use expected to increase. In this paper, we investigate energy transition processes in the Finnish and Norwegian Arctic from the niche development and regime decline viewpoints. We mirror these processes onto concepts of positive and negative secu…
Securitization of Energy Transitions in Estonia, Finland and Norway
This paper analyses the extent to which zero-carbon energy transitions are a securitized phenomenon in selected countries and what that means for sustainability transitions more broadly. Without taking a normative stance on securitization, we focus on the ways in which security is constructed through in-depth interviews with experts in the energy, security, and defense sectors in Estonia, Finland, and Norway. We use a securitization framework to …
Politics in the energy-security nexus
To reduce the energy sector's CO 2 emissions, sustainability transitions are essential but may have unexpected national security consequences.We investigate policymaking around energy transitions and national security, combining sociology with sustainability transitions thinking to analyse 73 policy documents issued between 2006 and 2023 in Estonia, Finland, and Norway and investigate how zero-carbon energy and security issues have co-evolved wit…
How will renewables expansion and hydrocarbon decline impact security? Analysis from a socio-technical transitions perspective
Security implications of zero-carbon energy transitions have only recently received more focus. Overarching analyses in transition studies are lacking. Therefore, we combine concepts of positive and negative security with transitions research to analyse the security issues associated with the unfolding transition. We create a framework that explores security via two dimensions: renewables expansion and hydrocarbon decline, suggesting three elemen…
Formal commitments versus actual practices? Narratives as tools of epistemic governance in the debate over Finnish forestry
Nation states often end up adopting practices that are incongruent with their formal commitments to international efforts, such as mitigation of climate change. Although the necessity of a transfer towards carbon-neutral societies is widely understood, such decoupling is a challenge to transition. This study analyses the political discourse in the Finnish media from 2017 to 2018 around the European Union's Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (…
Interplay between low-carbon energy transitions and national security
Sustainable Development Goals aim for a better future, but gains are threatened by conflict and governance failures, exacerbated by climate change. While research on energy security is well-established, conceptual-analytical research on sustainability transitions has paid little attention to security threats as factors influencing transitions or security policy as part of policy mixes. This paper combines policy coherence and integration analysis…
