Evolving roles and shared futures
Beyond energy communities
As citizen participation gains traction in the European energy transition, diverse forms of collective energy initiatives (CEIs) emerge as key mechanisms for enabling stronger citizen involvement in the energy system and changing consumption behavior. Fully understanding all forms of collective energy initiatives is crucial to avoid the risk of misaligning engagement with people's lived realities, interests, and capacities, and to inadvertently a…
Heating up the energy transition
This paper explores how individual and collective heating systems influence citizen agency and energy justice in the heat transition. Drawing on interviews with stakeholders knowledgeable about or involved in these systems across eight European countries, we examine how different types of heating systems influence energy decision-making capabilities and justice outcomes. Combining the Energy Justice Decision-Making Framework with the Capability A…
A perspective on energy citizenship and transitions in Europe
The European Union (EU) is committed to achieving a just and inclusive energy transition. Positioning citizen participation is an integral practice of this goal. The expectation for increased citizen engagement in energy initiatives has been conceptualised as energy citizenship. However, despite publicly committing to encouraging active, bottom-up participation, top-down, state-led approaches to promoting energy citizenship have been criticised f…
Constructing just mobility futures
Changing hearts instead of changing minds – another take on climate action
This piece elaborates on a ‘new way of thinking’ (Einstein, 1946) that would contribute to overcoming the challenge of climate change and its impacts. This ‘new way’ will have us go beyond using facts and figures alone to persuade and cajole. It will have us stretching our moral imagination (Johnson, 2016) and empathising with people very different from ourselves. It will have us investing in processes of exchange which support the co-creation of…
Collective action lessons for the energy transition
To accelerate the energy transition and achieve the needed large-scale transformation to address climate change, different barriers including lock-ins and path dependencies, incumbent power structures and changing individual and collective norms, values, and behaviors around energy need to be addressed. In the face of these challenges, citizens are beginning to play a bigger role in the transformation of the energy system. For example, they are b…
Design Thinking
Design refers to "the plan, project, or working hypothesis which constitutes the 'intention' in intentional operations" (Buchanan 1992, 10).Or as Rittel (1971, 19) formulates it, "a [wo]man designs whenever [s]he has a purpose in mind and devises a scheme to accomplish this purpose".In this chapter, design thinking is defined as a human-centered problem-solving approach which was intended originally to aid in the development of novel products but…
Creating spaces and cultivating mindsets for transdisciplinary learning and experimentation
This Special Focus highlights the potential of transdisciplinary research and learning to confront the complexity of the challenges facing society today. By serving as a bridge between science, practice and society, transdisciplinarity can be a means to help foster collaboration between diverse actors, question existing paradigms of knowledge co-production and build pathways towards transformation
Inclusive stakeholder engagement for equitable knowledge co-production
We develop and apply the concept of equitable knowledge co-production (EKC) by proposing a reflexive framework to support inclusive stakeholder engagement with diverse knowledge-holders. This framework is built on the authors’ experiences of leading three ongoing Horizon 2020 projects, and its goal is to contribute to the realisation of epistemic and recognition justice in the context of large-scale research and innovation projects by raising awa…
Going beyond the AHA! moment
In this paper, we develop and apply the concept of ‘insight discovery’ as a key competence for transdisciplinary research and learning. To address complex societal and environmental problems facing the world today, a particular expertise that can identify new connections between diverse knowledge fields is needed in order to integrate diverse perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders and develop novel solutions. The capacity for “insight dis…
Forks in the road
Much of the knowledge regarding “what works” in creating stakeholder events remains tacit. This article describes the concept of critical design moments (CDMs) as a guide for designing context-sensitive and inclusive stakeholder interactions. The approach makes often implicit processes explicit. It is rooted in the experiences of coordinating and participating in a transdisciplinary winter school in a village in Switzerland.While the importance o…
Designing interventions for sustainable change in a real-world laboratory
Real-world laboratories (RWL) aim to support transformations for sustainable urban development by producing outputs with practical and scientific relevance. To achieve these aims, the local community of which the RWL is a part should be in close collaboration from the start of a project. RWLs offer spaces for ‘thinking outside the box’ and for experimenting with new ideas through concrete interventions into the life world of the community. We pro…
Creating spaces and cultivating mindsets for learning and experimentation
In this communication, we present the background and core elements of the 2021 edition of the International Transdisciplinarity Conference . Beginning with a brief history of how the event was initiated and the role played by saguf in supporting its development, we then detail the main features of the conference and its relevance for transdisciplinary sustainability research and education
Integrating systems and design thinking in transdisciplinary case studies
In the new Bachelor-level course Umweltproblemlösen (Tackling environmental problems) , a part of ETH Zurich’s Environmental Sciences Bachelor’s programme, we teach students to zoom in on elements of practice (design thinking) and to zoom out on the whole system (systems thinking). Participants take stakeholders’ interests and needs into account and prepare possible measures, thus developing transformation knowledge and anticipating their future …
