Abstract The UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate target require a holistic transformation towards human well-being within planetary boundaries. However, there are growing debates on how to best pursue these targets. Proposed strategies include market- technology-driven green-growth, shifting sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, driven primarily by strong government action. Here we quantify three alternative pathways (SDPs), Economy-driven Innovation, Resilient...
Which factors shape the development of renewable energies on a regional level? This article argues that supra-regional conditions, such as law and financial support, are only one part story. Presented results case study in east German region Lower Lusatia, traditional energy region, where lignite surface mining is still an important economic factor. The focused views actors field energies. From interviews with these actors, it became apparent activities supported, or hindered, by:...
Erneuerbare Energie-Regionen werden als Treiber der Energiewende von unten wertgeschätzt. Sie sind aber bisher weder in horizontalen, interregionalen Abstimmung regionaler Ziele nennenswertem Umfang aktiv, noch haben sie eine Stimme vertikalen, handlungsebenenübergreifenden energiepolitischen Abstimmungsprozessen (Mehrebenen-Governance). Dieser Tatbestand wird Forschung zu Erneuerbare-Energie-Regionen nicht angemessen problematisiert und bearbeitet. Der Beitrag zeigt, welche Handlungsbedarfe...
Abstract Socio-political factors in Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), and their scenario narratives often lack transparency for policymakers interdisciplinary scholars. As these tools increasingly support sustainable development goals, assumptions methodologies require scrutiny, particularly from social scientists. We address critiques of climate isolationism, overemphasis on technological transitions, insufficient inter- transdisciplinarity, advocating robust integration clearer...
Abstract The Paris Agreement on climate change and the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development require unprecedented transformations to sustainability, while maximising synergies minimising trade-offs between two agendas. policy studies sustainability transition literatures suggest that addressing complex interlinkages requires ambitious, coherent, comprehensive credible mixes supported by synergistic combinations of governance modes. We investigate which extent these assumptions are reflected...
This article seeks to show why and in which way a combination of the MLP with typology innovations based on diffusion research can be fruitful for practical application MLP, as well refining conceptual view regime/niche interactions resulting from long established market niches. Application example absorption chiller changing socio-technical refrigeration regime demonstrates that characterisation only by criteria offered authors lead inconclusive results. I argue this is because they are...
