How do citizens envision democratic participation for sustainable futures? A reflection on co-created innovations
As humanity fails to remain within the Earth's critical biophysical limits, a growing global consensus is emerging on the urgent need for a socio-ecological transformation towards a sustainable future. Citizens' democratic participation in shaping a sustainable future is widely recognised as essential; however, empirical studies exploring the role of democratic participation practices in sustainability transitions, and how citizens themselves env…
People’s voices for sustainability – Exploring expectations for participatory democratic practices in Europe
Sustainable futures
To address global sustainability challenges, novel ways to engage citizens in governance are sought. However, citizens’ perspectives and expectations regarding their participation in shaping sustainability transformation are often neglected in research and practice. This article aims to address this knowledge gap by exploring how citizens envision democratic participation in the pursuit of a sustainable future. The approach draws on findings from…
Energy transformation in parliamentary debates
Politics plays a key role when states steer themselves towards becoming low-carbon societies, as parliaments hold the power to guide nations’ activities. This article engages in a longitudinal analysis of parliamentary debates on energy, and identifies how topics emerge, evolve in parallel, and diminish. We used transcripts of plenary debates in Finnish parliament to model topics in energy from 2008 to 2020. We show that debates shift from one fo…
What roles can democracy labs play in co-creating democratic innovations for sustainability
This perspective essay proposes Democracy Labs as new processes for developing democratic innovations that help tackle complex socio-ecological challenges within an increasingly unequal and polarised society, against the backdrop of democratic backsliding. Next to the current socio-ecological crisis, rapid technological innovations present both opportunities and challenges for democracy and call for democratic innovations. These innovations (e.g.…
Energy agendas
Energy agendas in national parliaments are crucial when countries seek to develop their energy futures while adhering to international obligations. This article examines how energy agendas emerge and evolve in parliamentary debates using data from Finland over a period of 12 years. By relying on topic modelling, we can show how the key energy agendas relate to an overall energy solution, promoting domestic energy production and seeking carbon‐neu…
Sensemaking and lens-shaping
As foresight activities continue to increase across multiple arenas and types of organizations, the need to develop effective modes of reviewing future-oriented information against long-term goals and policies becomes more pressing. The activities of institutional sensemaking are vital in constructing potential and desired futures, but remain sensitive to organizational culture and ethos, thus raising concerns about whose futures are being constr…
Examining outlooks on sustainability transitions through computational language analysis
Forward-looking network analysis of ongoing sustainability transitions
Experimentation with novel technologies mobilises resources and constructs expectations for systemic transition, yet there is limited research that examines large numbers of energy experiments. Our approach explores an idea of a patchwork of niches and contributes to transitions literature by looking beyond individual experiments. The analysis in this article identifies four clusters of sustainable energy networks (i.e. patchworks of niches), hig…
Network analysis of energy transition arena experiments
This article examines energy related experiments suggested and outlined in a co-creative Energy Transition Arena in Finland in 2017 with participating experts from various spheres of society. A transition arena is a process for engaging stakeholders in systemic transitions, and experiments are an important measure for enhancing transition and mechanisms of change. We apply network analysis and use the Theories of Change evaluation framework to re…
Considering expert takeovers in citizen involvement processes
While citizen involvement has become an increasingly accepted and popular procedure in both the theory and practice of responsible research and innovation (RRI), there remains a curious dilemma in that the accomplishment of involvement does not necessarily ensure sought responsibility towards citizens. Instead, experts may easily take over the process of involvement and change the outcomes in quite distinct directions, as is empirically shown in …
Embedding European citizen visions in sustainability transition
Co-production of knowledge with international publics can reveal novel insights into sustainability concerns across countries. However, generalisable studies on how place-specificity corresponds to sustainability transition are lacking, although there is an emerging body of literature on the geography of sustainability transition. This article contributes to that aim by examining 1) how citizen perspectives on sustainability are distributed acros…
Citizen visions for European futures—methodological considerations and implications
In recent years, citizen involvement has been increasingly recognised as a source of complementary insights to expert-based foresight. This article analyses citizen visions on desirable and sustainable futures gathered in three recent European involvement projects and reviews how the methodology of topic modelling can be applied to identify commonalities in the visions and how the identified topics are distributed across the citizen involvement p…
Governance experiments in climate action
Climate targets call for novel policy measures to facilitate widespread adoption of low-carbon solutions and innovations. The literature on socio-technical systems argues that experimentation has a prominent role in enabling sustainability transition. Experiments represent ways of testing new ideas and methods across a wide range of policy fields. Governance experiments in particular can support accelerated diffusion of new solutions, because the…
