Toward a Canadian agenda for sustainability transition research
Sustainability transitions research has expanded well beyond its original empirical settings, yet questions remain about how transition perspectives can be meaningfully translated across political economies with distinctive configurations of institutional, geographic, environmental, and historical characteristics. In Canada, these questions are especially salient, as political-economic particularities both complicate the application of transition…
Just transition in place
Just transition (JT) has emerged as a key framework for navigating the overlapping imperatives of sustainability, justice, and political viability. Yet, as the concept has travelled across movements, institutions, and scales of governance, its meanings have multiplied, while urban and suburban spaces remain comparatively peripheral to dominant JT imaginaries. This article develops a multilevel place-based policy-discourse analysis for studying JT…
Community energy justice
The transition to zero‐carbon sustainable energy systems is critical and must take an equity-oriented approach to avoid exacerbating societal injustices. We explore the concept of “community” and its potential as a viable and effective tool for studying, understanding, and fostering justice and equity in energy transitions. This paper outlines community energy justice as an area of scholarship emerging through convergence around three key concept…
What’s behind the barriers? Uncovering structural conditions working against urban nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are a promising and innovative approach to address multiple sustainability challenges faced by cities. Yet, NBS are not integrated into mainstream urban development practices. Based on a qualitative comparative case study of Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, this study shows how barriers to mainstreaming urban NBS are shaped by the structural conditions in urban infrastructure r…
Catalyzing sustainability pathways
Border troubles
Traditional interventions to "bring nature into the city" were often motivated by a concern to create forms of public space which would provide a public good. Despite such well-intentioned motivations, these public forms of urban nature have always been to some extent bounded, serving some in favor of others, authorizing particular uses and forms of behavior as more or less legitimate, and policing the boundaries of who is/not included in such sp…
