Published: Nov. 16, 2022

This chapter is about the purposeful discontinuation of a socio-technical regime, no matter what stage or path development, maturity, age. "Discontinuation" means rather actively pursued exit from regime. Discontinuation not opposite innovation, but continuation. The phenomenon itself cannot be subsumed under existing concepts, patterns, and models; research was too often blind for interplay between discontinuity, phenomena, governance, therefore optics grasping it in an adequate way need to invented. In chapter, overview developed approaches that offer chance get bottom governance-in-action. A number relevant concepts are introduced can help increase awareness governance. concludes with series challenges governance currently facing.

Abstract Tens of millions households across Europe struggle to afford adequate electricity and heating services reliable transportation, while recent high fuel prices could lead an increase in excess winter deaths. Tackling energy transport poverty is thus paramount policy importance. Here we document the drivers lived experiences United Kingdom, based on public focus groups expert interviews. We find a set policies that resonate with both planners members public, implying they have level political social acceptability other measures may be lacking, notably: mandatory landlord efficiency upgrades, increasing extent financial assistance households, cheaper (or even free) bus train fares restarting expanding services. buttress these findings further suggestions for system redesign better meets emerging principles justice.

Low-carbon transitions across energy and transport systems have been widely researched in regards to how are designed, what policies support them, which technologies they entail, fast, or slow, take. Much of this research has focused on examining the agency behavior actors institutions, processes outcomes, but less weight given human emotions. Based an explorative systematic review sustainability literature, we address a gap by focusing emotions reported examined concerning energy, buildings transport. We show that acceptability adaptation new technologies, systems, practices requires people's willingness change, itself needs positive emotional commitment. thus propose agenda for low-carbon takes into consideration as climate change attempt move net zero societies.

Decarbonising residential heat is essential for achieving net zero targets. The Netherlands and the UK are embarking on transitions from similar starting points, with a heavy dependence natural gas. However, their governance approaches differ, local municipal visions plans playing lead role in compared market-led approach England Wales. Scotland occupies an intermediate position. This article focuses why these differences have arisen through development of comparative institutionalist framework. We show that transition rooted institutional arrangements politics, political economy degree centralisation. Our framework can be applied to more widely, but it not aimed at evaluating different agenda further research would link effectiveness context.
