An increasing number of studies have analysed the scope for, and barriers to, transitions toward sustainability in context developing countries building on analytical perspectives from literature. This paper introduces a special issue countries, which takes stock this emerging field research presents new empirical that contributes to further advancement our understanding conditions are likely take place what is involved these transformative processes. introductory five papers contained...
Investments in renewable energy are increasing rapidly sub-Saharan Africa. The overall purpose of this paper is to explore what extent and under conditions these investments producing economic co-benefits terms spillovers linkage development effects. One peculiarity Africa's renewable-energy sector the rapid increase likely future growth Chinese involvement large-scale infrastructure projects. Insights from other infrastructure, utility resource-extraction sectors Africa suggest that China...

Technologies to mitigate climate change may diffuse from lead markets the rest of world through several mechanisms and make important contributions global green transformation. In this paper, we explore role played by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in transferring knowledge innovative capabilities technologies their subsidiaries. We posit that degree transfer capability development subsidiaries depend on: (i) host country characteristics, (ii) specific technology question, (iii) mode...
Onshore wind turbines in Europe are increasingly reaching the end of their first lifecycle. Their pathways after decommissioning call for establishment circular supply chains (e.g. refurbishment or recycling facilities). Reliable component and material flow forecasts particularly crucial development blade-recycling capacity, as such facilities still need to be established. However, current assume a static time neglect second lifecycle blades, which has resulted potential quantities being...
The expected increase in the disposal of off-grid solar e-waste (SEW) Global South is potentially dark side a promising innovation. We suggest placing research aimed at identifying appropriate schemes for collection and recycling SEW within conceptual framework that builds on literature environmental upgrading global value chains (GVC). advance GVC by incorporating complementary insights from social anthropology life-cycle assessments, which will enable end-user behaviour waste to be...
Abstract The literature on the catching up of latecomer countries has pointed at windows opportunity as a precondition for up. Previous research however failed to illuminate determining factors affecting number firms benefitting from opportunity. current article addresses this gap by combining insights nature knowledge spillovers with sectoral characteristics. This perspective is applied empirically analyzing ‘green’ window in Chinese biomass power plant industry, specifically related...
