Differentiating motivations, barriers, and enablers of key stakeholder engagement in living lab processes
Living labs (LLs) can play a vital role in driving sustainability transitions, providing a space for experimentation and the co-creation of practical solutions to complex societal problems. While existing research emphasizes the importance of collaboration among diverse stakeholders to integrate their needs and perspectives, there is a lack of comparative evidence on the motivations and barriers to such engagement. Understanding these factors is …
Energy justice in innovative living spaces
Energy transitions play a crucial role in addressing today's social, economic, and ecological challenges. However, recent studies show that energy transitions may reproduce current injustices and potentially create new injustices. To address the equitable distribution of benefits and burdens which may arise with energy-related innovations, energy justice has become a key issue in energy transitions research. This article focuses on how innovative…
Are religious organizations becoming green? Faith communities’ role in advancing environmental sustainability in Switzerland
Scholarship increasingly regards religion as a crucial factor for transitions towards environmentally more sustainable societies. Despite the rising interest in religion, little is known about the environmental activities of religious organizations. This study explores in what ways religious organizations are becoming environmentally engaged and contribute to broader societal change. In order to address this question, a survey with 1,395 religiou…
The perceived potential of religion in mitigating climate change and how this is being realized in Germany and Switzerland
Scholars of religion have repeatedly debated and contested the role of religion and spirituality in combatting climate change. In recent years, the potential of religion has also become an issue among natural scientists, politicians, environmental organizations, and civil society. Indeed, the potential of religion to mitigate climate change is perceived both internally and externally, and various expectations are placed on religion. This article …
Sustainable development through religious environmental engagement? Evidence from Switzerland
This article examines the engagement of religious organizations in addressing environment‐related sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Switzerland and its barriers. To this end, it draws upon semi‐structured interviews with church representatives who are actively engaged in environmental sustainability. We use a planetary boundaries framework with five capitals; natural and physical capital , which refer to the environment (e.g., work to incre…
Innovative but unjust? Analysing the opportunities and justice issues within positive energy districts in Europe
The current energy transition focuses on decarbonisation through the use of renewable energy sources, coupled with improvements in efficiency by means of technological innovations. However, there is also a clear call for realizing a just transition. The implementation of smart technology-led transitions and low-carbon energy system innovations is increasingly urged to become more people-centred by taking energy poverty and other justice related i…
