‘We’re the real shit!’ Low-income groups’ unequal access to green mobility transitions in Norway
This paper investigates the intersection of mobility justice and sustainability transitions, focusing on how low-income groups experience and navigate mobility challenges. Data was gathered through storytelling workshops (14) and individual interviews (22), involving a total of 73 participants from low-income groups in three Norwegian cities: Bergen, Stavanger, and Trondheim. Using the concept of motility to reframe mobility as a form of social c…
Tales of being a public transport user
Public transport plays a vital role in urban sustainability and social and economic development. In Kampala, Uganda, 14-seater minibuses are the dominant mode of public transport and serve as an essential means of accessing urban mobility. This study examines the lived experiences of minibus commuters in Kampala. Drawing on interviews with 25 participants across the city’s five divisions. Through an analytical framework that combines user studies…
The unsung heroes of Norway's sustainability transitions? Making visible the “invisible” energy citizenship of low-income households
This paper explores the concept of energy citizenship through the lived experiences of low-income households in Norway, showing a significant disconnect between participatory ideals embedded in national climate and energy policies and the everyday realities of economically marginalised groups. While energy transitions are often framed as collective efforts requiring active citizen engagement, systemic barriers frequently prevent low-income groups…
Climate change adaptation as a part of everyday life
Bærekraftig reindrift? Bruksreglenes påvirkning på reindriftssamenes selvstyre og klimatilpasning
Reindriftssamene står daglig overfor utfordringer som følge av klimaendringer og «grønne» utbyggingsprosjekter som fører til reduksjon i beitearealer for reinene og derfor kan true den samiske reindriftsnæringen. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan myndighetenes styring gjennom bruksregler påvirker reindriftsnæringens rom for klimatilpasningsarbeid og selvstyre. Basert på en kvalitativ intervjustudie med representanter fra norske myndigheter…
Deep experiments for deep transitions – low-income households as sites of participation and socio-technical change in new energy systems
Sensory and emotional dimensions of domesticating new technology
Cities face major challenges when it comes to sustainability and mobility. Transport’s contribution to climate change is well-established, and people need to move in the most sustainable way to reach the 2030 emissions targets set by the Paris Agreement. One possible pathway towards more sustainable mobility practices is electromobility. The electrification of micro-mobility is happening rapidly, and one of the most popular is the e-bike. For yea…
Making sense of global warming
This paper studies how people reason about and make sense of human-made global warming, based on ten focus group interviews with Norwegian citizens. It shows that the domestication of climate science knowledge was shaped through five sense-making devices: news media coverage of changes in nature, particularly the weather, the coverage of presumed experts’ disagreement about global warming, critical attitudes towards media, observations of politic…
Brukbar klimakunnskap? – Kommunalt ansattes forhold til forskning og annen kunnskap om klimaendringer og klimatilpasning
This paper is an analysis of how local government employees domesticate climate science for the purpose of climate adaptation. Employees in Norwegian municipalities perceive the consequences of climate change as a serious challenge, but while placing trust in climate science they consider it too difficult to use. The paper discusses how these employees perceive the challenges of appropriating climate science knowledge and putting it to use. It is…
