The German energy transition has been hailed as a role model for climate action. However, plans the construction of three large-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals are receiving strong state support. This is inconsistent with Germany's targets, which require reduction rather than expansion natural gas consumption. In our paper, we aim to unpack connection between risk lock-in and transition. We analyse co-evolution techno-economic, socio-technical political realms sector...
Major sustainability transition processes will be necessary in the coming decades to meet international climate protection targets. These cause profound economic and social changes. The accompanying redistribution of resources could an opportunity for society overcome existing unjust power relations, such as gender inequalities, instead reproducing these structures. To achieve this, there must a better understanding effects transformation dynamics on inequalities. Using example historical...
The future of coal remains contested in many countries, hindering necessary energy transitions. Collaborative governance approaches, such as stakeholder commissions, have been proposed potential solution to resolve societal conflicts. In Germany, a commission process managed overcome the existing stalemate situation, leading adoption phase-out by 2038. Celebrated for enabling German phase-out, commission's outcomes are ambiguous, recommending incompatible with 1.5 °C climate target and...
For climate change mitigation, a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels such as coal is necessary. This has far-reaching gender-specific consequences. paper presents systematic map the literature that examines impact historical processes on women and their role in these processes. The search process consisted screening over 3100 abstracts reading 247 full-text studies. analysis 73 publications ultimately included shows past phase-outs meant both opportunities (e.g., increased labour market...
To achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the EU must phase out all fossil fuels. Natural gas (NG) accounts for 25% of primary energy consumption which 40% is used residential heat. prevent a lock-in NG in heat, among other things, long-term strategy decommissioning two million kilometres long distribution network needed. Using Germany as case study, this article investigates if communal heat planning suitable instrument to overcome path dependencies resulting from use heating. In summary, can...
