Enabling sustainable transitions in coal and carbon-intensive regions
Just social-ecological tipping scales
The JSETS framework applied in CCIRs explores regional systemic change by identifying and anticipating transition states. • 5 transition states are: 1&2 high carbon and declining mainstream, 3&4 growing and reinforced low carbon system, and 5 transformed just region. • The 19 CCIRs fell under the first 4 transition states but there was no evidence of regions in the last transformed just region state. • The JSETS framework deconstruct elements tha…
When does the energy transition impact household affordability? A mixed-methods comparison of fourteen coal and carbon-intensive regions
Energy affordability tends to be lower in phasing-out than in transitioning regions. • Regional conditions are strongly associated with energy affordability. • Global policies misaligned with regional transitions can undermine affordability. • Regional fossil-fuel dependency is associated with low energy affordability. • Aligning energy transition and regional development plans can favor affordability. Understanding what conditions promote or hin…
Potentials and barriers to land-based mitigation technologies and practices (LMTs)—a review
Land-based mitigation technologies and practices (LMTs) are critical for achieving the Paris Agreement’s aim of avoiding dangerous climate change by limiting the rise in average global surface temperatures. We developed a detailed two-level classification and analysis of the barriers to the adoption and scaling up of LMTs. The review suggests that afforestation/reforestation and forest management are LMTs with wide application and high potential …
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…
On the discovery and enactment of positive socio-ecological tipping points
Notions, such as leverage points, sensitive interventions, social tipping points, transformational tipping points, and positive tipping points, are increasingly attracting attention within sustainability science. However, they are also creating confusion and unresolved questions about how to apply these concepts when dealing with urgent global challenges such as rapid decarbonisation. We propose a relational methodology aimed at helping how to id…
Risk blindness in local perspectives about the Alberta oil sands hinders Canada's decarbonization
Local perspectives can conflict with national and international climate targets. This study explores three stakeholder (community, provincial, and federal) perspectives on the Alberta oil sands as risks for a sustainability transition in Canada. In an ex-post analysis, we compared outputs from stakeholder consultations and energy-economy models. Our research shows that different local stakeholders groups disregarded some policy risks for the Albe…
The desirability of transitions in demand
Canada's Green New Deal
A global movement is underway to harness the power of coordinated state policy to address the significant and interrelated challenges of environmental degradation, climate change, poverty, and energy insecurity. In May 2019 a grassroots coalition comprising a range of civil society groups—scientists, labour unions, Indigenous peoples, and youth—launched the Pact for a Green New Deal (PGND) in Canada, with more than 150 town hall meetings across t…
Three sides to every story
Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social and gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit and unexplored. As a corrective, this paper explores energy pathways by applying concepts from innovations and gender studies. We examine gender perspectives and niche energy innovations which could disrupt the regime. The regime represents the mainstream pathway that includ…
The importance of stakeholders in scoping risk assessments—Lessons from low-carbon transitions
Assessing risks of low-carbon transition pathways
Contested energy futures, conflicted rewards? Examining low-carbon transition risks and governance dynamics in China's built environment
China's urbanisation has caused city populations to grow rapidly, boosting continuous development and scaling up the construction industry more intensely. The building sector is thus a key area to consider for climate change mitigation efforts. This study initially seeks to explore the development of a green transition pathway for the Chinese building sector, informed by national and local low-carbon policies and strategies, with specific referen…
