Democratic societies face the challenge of effecting sustainability transformations, allowing for variously imagined futures and underpinned by a diversity practices knowledge production action. This article investigates how political imagination sustainable informs ways action are understood linked in research policy, what potential implications this has democratic transformative change. Empirically, analyses overarching policies Sweden, focusing on central documents produced government public financiers. The analysis shows parallels between conceptualisations knowledge-action, characterised linearity, instrumentalisation circumscription power-sharing spaces creation against background endorsement collaborations academia society. Such conceptualisations, apart from sending mixed signals to researchers practitioners, potentially enable processes driven impact, competitiveness atomisation, precluding exercise intrinsic value necessary reflexive governance transformations towards sustainability.

Scholars have critiqued mainstream economic approaches to environmental valuation for decades. These critiques intensified with the increased prominence of in decision-making. This paper has three goals. First, we summarise prominent monetary valuation, drawing mostly on work Clive Spash, who worked extensively cost–benefit analysis early his career and then became one valuation's most thorough ardent critics. Second, we, as a group scholars study relational values, describe how values research engages addresses many valuation. Third, offer suggestions that continues deepens its ability respond contributes transformative change towards sustainability.

Urban governance, the interplay of governmental bodies with other actors shaping decision-making and its implementation, plays a key role for mitigation adaptation measures in cities. While knowledge co-production is advanced as an instrumental approach to support climate action, gap between implementation persists. The objective article better understand complex nature urban governance which science – through data people expected with. We introduce framework, based on analytical lens co-production, unpack entanglements rules norms, interests visions, capacities particular local context order identify aspects that may encourage meaningful co-production. build upon two cities case studies: Hamburg, Germany São Paulo, Brazil. present results interviews dialogue insights from city documents online workshop. found even though expertise available, use remains unsystematic, while action mostly hampered by missing political capacity, silo mentalities, structural lack resources. identified paradox where social transformation addressed technocratic solutions high appreciation mutual learning processes. conclude make transformative potential, practice needs become more holistic. This includes integration non-climate information linked concerns values well shift focus output procedural benefits.
