Evaluating the relevance, credibility and legitimacy of a novel participatory online tool
Given the immense pressure on politicians across the globe to implement efficient yet socially-accepted climate policies, research on policy acceptance becomes increasingly important. Several studies could contribute to the understanding of what affects policy acceptance, but their methodological approaches usually assess isolated solutions instead of policy mixes and do not display the various impacts of presented policies. Most often, these stu…
Something inside me has been set in motion”
The role of sustainability initiatives and niche groups in transitions towards sustainability has received a good deal of attention. However, little is known about the people who make up these groups. This paper discusses their psychological wellbeing – a concept that comprises six elements: self-acceptance, personal growth and development, purpose in life, environmental mastery, autonomy, and positive relations with others. In the study we perfo…
Examining Collective Action Through the Capability Approach
Collective action—the involvement of a group of people carrying out common and voluntary actions to pursue shared interests—has a high potential to contribute to agency and wellbeing freedom. It is a current and recurrent phenomenon in society, but it is still poorly explained by the Capability Approach (CA). This paper’s main aim is to look more closely at how the CA can be used to better frame, understand and evaluate the impacts of collective …
Elucidating the changing roles of civil society in urban sustainability transitions
A resource-efficient and sufficient future mobility system for improved well-being in Europe
A transformation of our current transport system and individual mobility behaviour is an essential pre-requisite for attaining a desirable future that enables a life within environmental boundaries (“safe operating space”) and higher well-being at the same time. Accordingly, this paper focuses on the potentials of a resource-saving, sustainable transport system with reduced, but still satisfactory, mobility. To achieve the vision of resource-effi…
Living within the safe operating space
A desirable future critically depends on our ability to ensure the supply of key resources while simultaneously respecting planetary boundaries. This paper looks at the potential implications of living within the “safe operating space” for people, business and the economy. It develops a positive vision of the future based on three pillars: a safe and fair use of global resources, a sustainable society, and a transformed economy. We review and bui…
Making sense of sustainability transitions locally
Today’s society is facing a broad array of societal challenges, such as an unstable economic system, climate change and lasting poverty. There are no straightforward solutions, rather these challenges ask for fundamental societal changes, that is, sustainability transitions. Faced with the question of how these challenges can be understood and dealt with, we argue for action research as a promising approach. Focusing on their localized manifestat…
