From stress to strategy – Conceptualizing urban infrastructure transformation under climate pressure
More than two-thirds of the global population will live in urban areas by 2050, emphasizing the need for climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. Despite their importance in public services, urban infrastructures – social, technical, and green-blue – often lack an integrated, interdisciplinary governance approach. This research explores the characteristics of urban infrastructures concerning municipal governance across their transformation t…
Shared values, shared acceptance? Towards an acceptance milieu framework illustrated by renewable energy research
Understanding recurring patterns of public acceptance has become increasingly important for explaining and governing socio-technical transformations such as the energy transition. Addressing this challenge requires understanding both how technologies are evaluated and how socio-cultural value configurations shape these evaluations. Technology acceptance research explains how technologies are evaluated, whereas social milieu research explains how …
Governance frictions at work? Explaining socio-technical transformation in waste-to-energy
Sectors such as waste management can be understood as highly interconnected socio-technical, political, and economic systems characterized by ongoing tensions between stability and change. But what triggers socio-technical sector change and transformation? We state, there are governance frictions at work. This paper contributes to research on socio-technical transformation by examining how different governance regimes interact and generate govern…
Addressing “the ones behind”
This paper advances a broadened understanding of technology acceptance by introducing the concept of the acceptance object responsible – the actors and institutions accountable for technological design, implementation, and governance. Traditional approaches have focused on the dyad of acceptance subject and object; we argue that social (non-)acceptance fundamentally targets actors behind technology decisions. Acceptance thus emerges as a relation…

Municipalities as change agents? Reconsidering roles and policies in local energy sector-coupling
Municipalities play an important role in the energy transition process by implementing and advancing policy measures for climate protection at the local level. However, available options and technologies for the integration and defossilization of electricity, heating, industry and mobility are diverse and complex. Considering the interplay of societal action, technical options, individual values, decision-making processes, and available policy me…
The Integrated Policy Package Assessment approach
Climate concerned but anti-nuclear
Orientierungswissen für die Energiewende
Das Kopernikus-Projekt ENavi will der Komplexität des Energiesystems begegnen, indem es unterschiedliche disziplinare und soziale Wissensbestände aus allen ENavi - Forschungsarbeiten zusammenführt. Damit dies gelingt, wird das Projektteam in dem Modul Roads-map und Navigation energiepolitische Entscheidungen aus systemanalytischer Perspektive abschätzen und bewerten und so den Weg zu einem nachhaltigen Energiesystem aufzeigen

Risk governance and emerging technologies
Emerging technologies are underway in a wide array of industrial applications and need fields. When innovating on technologies, one main objective is to improve the management of safety related to their emerging risks. The iNTeg-Risk project undertook 17 case studies covering current key innovations and focusing on their corresponding risks. Thus, a major challenge is to integrate the case study research into a common framework on adequate future…
New Technology on Well-Trodden Paths? The Acceptance of CO 2 Storage in Germany Neue Technik, alte Pfade? Zur Akzeptanz der CO 2 -Speicherung in Deutschland
When the EU Directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide came into force, Germany found itself under pressure to develop a legal framework for the exploration and operation of CO 2 -storage sites. But the German regulatory approach stands against fierce opposition from the public – in particular at specific CO 2 -storage site regions, namely in Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein. This article takes a closer look on the German situation, …
Making trade sustainable impact assessment more relevant to trade negotiations
While trade sustainability impact assessments (trade SIAs) have generated much useful information about the potential impacts of trade liberalisation, they have made very limited impact on trade negotiations, which generate unresolved controversy, if not deadlock. This paper contends that one reason for this is that trade SIAs do not explicitly recognise the motives for countries to resist free trade. Five such motives are identified, with very d…
