Rising energy prices threaten households' access to affordable services and increase the risk of vulnerability. One way reduce cost is implement efficiency measures at household level (e.g. solar panels). However, not all households have capacity do this. Households that are unable vulnerable in two ways: 1) they may enjoy benefits these (such as lower costs, healthier more comfortable living conditions), 2) face increasing costs due fluctuating market for non-renewable sources or taxes on...
Despite abundant research on collaborative governance, relatively little attention has been paid to explaining its performance. When are collaborations performing and what conditions required achieve high performance? This study fills this gap by building the performance matrix for assessing governance regimes Emerson Nabatchi. Drawing survey data, we use a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) explore of 26 flood risk projects in Netherlands. We analyze how engagement, shared...
Flood risk of all types flooding is projected to increase based on climate change projections and increases in damage potential. These challenges are likely aggravate issues justice flood management (hereafter FRM). Based a discursive institutionalist perspective, this paper explores Dutch FRM: how do institutions allocate the responsibilities costs for FRM different flooding? What underlying conceptions justice? future with regard change? The research revealed that dichotomy visible...
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is typically a framework directive that tries to encourage integration of policies for water quality and agriculture. Nutrients (nitrates, phosphates) from agricultural sources remain ‘wicked problem’ in realizing the aims WFD, partly because has rely on other, neighboring tackle problem pressure nutrients; it seems lack instruments measures directly intervene relevant policies. This contribution describes different governance approaches five member states...

Societies are faced with aggravating environmental challenge. To respond to these challenges desired institutional changes, we need understand the processes of stability and change. This paper adds literature on dynamics by focusing particularly various roles discourses. It examines interaction emerging discourses pre-existing governance arrangements their outcomes; not zooming in a specific policy concept but scrutinising long-term development domain, namely flood risk (FRG) Netherlands....
Despite several stimuli for change, flood risk management ( FRM ) in the Netherlands remains dominated by a probability‐reducing defence approach. The aim of this article is to analyse, empirically, institutional forces change and stability that explain particular dynamics. qualitative research revealed even though combination (in realm discourses, actors, resources rules) present, their influence partly neutralised stability. These became incrementally iteratively more institutionalised...
Citizens are considered to play an increasingly active role in dealing with sustainability challenges, such as biodiversity loss. The involvement of citizens is a new policy practice the Netherlands, institutionalized so-called neighborhood approach. To understand why some take up this role, while others face difficulties, anticipation futures gaining attention literature on sustainable transformations. Although these processes non-linear, shows that insights Bourdieu have potential better...
This paper explores the concept of anticipation in context governing societal transformations toward sustainability Anthropocene. It distinguishes two interrelated processes for governance just sustainable transformations: using futures and making futures, arguing that these can help reframe notions justice responsibility. With this reframing, it is proposed responsibility should be shared distributed among different actors, based on certain principles take into account complexity,...
Abstract Flood risks can stem from various causes and exhibit distinct characteristics that shape the way they are governed. Depending on flood risk characteristics, specific policies designed organisations involved. In Indonesia, like in other regions, organisational divisions made for coastal floods, fluvial floods pluvial (resulting tides, rivers rain, respectively). The Indonesian cities of Manado Pontianak both face recurring floods. However, responses to these different, with...
In the Netherlands, one of goals energy transition is to expand neutrality houses up 1.5 million until 2030. Citizens are expected play an important role in this process, but implementation hampering, as citizens do not take role, for example, installing solar panels. Policy documents tend anticipate futures changes from economic rationale, which tends align more clearly with anticipated higher educated, financially wealthy households. So, a broader perspective, it unclear how future desires...
