Policymakers' Perceptions of the Use of Deliberative Mini‐Publics to Support Sustainability Policies
Deliberative mini‐publics (DMPs) have emerged as a novel method to deepen public participation in complex and contentious policy decisions, such as those related to sustainability transformations. Despite an increasing interest in applying DMPs in environmental governance, little is known about policymakers' expectations regarding their applicability and impact. We address this research gap by exploring policymakers' perceptions of DMPs in a sust…
Critical intervention points for European adaptation to cascading climate change impacts
In an interconnected world, climate change impacts can cascade across sectors and regions, creating systemic risks. Here we analyse cascading climate change impacts on the EU, originating from outside the region, and identify critical intervention points for adaptation. Using network analysis, we integrate stakeholder-co-produced impact chains with quantitative data for 102 countries across foreign policy, human security, trade and finance. Our a…
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…
The emerging institutionalisation of knowledge co-production in sustainability research
Co-production of knowledge in science-policy interfaces has received increased attention as a way of addressing grand societal challenges with the hope that it will create a base for enacting transformative change. We explore the development and outputs of projects funded by the Strategic Research Council of Finland, which has had the aim of generating strategic knowledge through interactions with stakeholders. We examine how producers and users …
Cross‐border dimensions of Arctic climate change impacts and implications for Europe
The Arctic has warmed almost four times faster than the rest of the globe during the past four decades. This has led to multiple impacts in the Arctic such as the melting of glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet, sea ice retreat, permafrost thaw, altered species distribution and abundance, changes in hydrology and snow conditions, and altered wildfire regimes. These documented and projected impacts in the region can also propagate across borders, …
The Challenging Paths to Net-Zero Emissions
To achieve its ambitious climate targets, the European Union (EU) must adopt new policies, increase the impact of existing policies and/or remove dysfunctional ones. The EU has developed an elaborate system to monitor national policy mixes in order to support these challenging requirements. Data that member states have reported to the EU over the last ten years reveal that the average expected per-policy-instrument emission reduction has declined…
A conceptual framework for cross-border impacts of climate change
Climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability studies tend to confine their attention to impacts and responses within the same geographical region. However, this approach ignores cross-border climate change impacts that occur remotely from the location of their initial impact and that may severely disrupt societies and livelihoods. We propose a conceptual framework and accompanying nomenclature for describing and analysing such cross-borde…
Policy experimentation
In the last two decades, many areas of the social sciences have embraced an 'experimentalist turn'. It is well known for instance that experiments are a key ingredient in the emergence of behavioral economics, but they are also increasingly popular in sociology, political science, planning, and in architecture (see It seems that the potential advantages of experiments are better appreciated today than they were in the past
Experiments in climate governance – A systematic review of research on energy and built environment transitions
Translating institutional change - forest journals as diverse policy actors
Socio-technical transition governance and public opinion
Emerging policy perspectives on geoengineering
Geoengineering evokes fears and hopes among the general public, media and scientists. Policy-makers thus face the dilemma of how to respond to this deeply controversial issue. In this paper we examine a wide variety of policy documents from different countries, international organizations and NGOs to gain insights into how geoengineering is perceived at the policy level. We use qualitative content analysis in order to determine specific aspects o…
Geoengineering, news media and metaphors
We analyze how metaphors are used in presenting and debating novel technologies that could influence the climate and thereby also future climate change policies. We show that metaphors strengthen a policy-related storyline, while metaphors are rarer in purely descriptive accounts. The choice of metaphor frames the technologies. War metaphors are used equally in arguments that are for, against and neutral with respect to the further development of…
Policy coherence in climate change mitigation
Framing the Controversial
Geoengineering is an example of a highly political science-driven topic. We explore how researchers frame geoengineering and what implications these frames have for the science-policy interface and the politicization of science. Our analysis revealed three main ways to frame geoengineering in scientific literature. The “Risk-benefit” frame emphasizes calculation and further research, the “Governance” frame emphasizes the need to develop instituti…
Evaluation, assessment, and policy innovation
Policy development and implementation should ideally be informed by assessments and evaluations, but research has shown that their use is far from straightforward in politicised environments. Their role in the adoption and evolution of policy innovations, which fundamentally change policy, has not been extensively analysed. Here, I show that the role can be understood using a new framework that bridges the gap between an agency-dominated innovati…
Climate policy innovation
A key dimension of the debate about policy innovation is the extent to which new policies achieve significant and lasting effects on the problems they purport to address. However, little is known about such effects. We break new ground by investigating how far current evaluation practices in a policy system with relatively ambitious climate policies – the European Union – identify the most effective (carbon-reducing) policies. We find that a smal…
Unrecognized, concealed, or forgotten – the case of absent information in risk communication
There are differing and partially incompatible views about what kind of issues should be included into risk discussions and what kinds of risks should be emphasized and dealt with. While the emergence of new risks has been extensively studied, relatively little attention has been paid to the roles that the absence of information can play in risk debates. Potentially relevant information may be downplayed or omitted and less relevant overemphasize…
