Such transitions present both opportunities obstacles. aim this study provide extensive literature review on transition identify challenges strategies associated with navigating transformations systems. Understanding these particularly critical face severe consequences global warming, where accelerated viewed as a universal remedy. Adopting socio-technological systems perspective, specifically through application Actor Network Theory (ANT), research provides theoretical foundation while categorising into five distinct domains outlining across different dimensions. These insights are tailored for emerging market countries effectively navigate fostering development resilient societies. Furthermore, our findings highlight that encompasses more than mere technological shift; it entails fundamental changes various systemic socio-economic imperatives. Through focusing role structures transitions, makes significant innovative contribution ANT, which historically been criticised its limited acknowledgement structures.
