Many researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders have explored supported efforts to transition towards more sustainable forms of low-carbon mobility. Often, discussion will flow from a narrow view consumer perceptions surrounding passenger vehicles—presuming that users act in rationalist, instrumental, predictable patterns. In this paper, we hold better understanding the social demographic electric vehicles (compared mobility, including conventional cars) is needed. We provide comparative mixed methods assessment demographics mobility stated preferences for vehicles, drawing primarily on survey distributed than 5000 respondents across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway Sweden. examine how gender influences preferences; experience form education occupation shape aging household size impact preferences. doing so hope reveal complex dynamics behind potential adopters consider calculate various aspects vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems. particular, our results suggest predominantly men, those with higher levels full time employment, especially occupations civil society or academia, below middle age (30–45), are most likely buy them. However, analysis also reveals market segments where may take root, e.g. among income females retirees/pensioners. Moreover, few were orientated V2G, independent their attributes. Our empirical can inform ongoing discussions about energy transport policy, drivers environmental change, deliberations over sustainability transitions.

Citizen Science (CS) projects involve members of the general public as active participants in research. While some advocates hope that CS can increase scientific knowledge production ("productivity view"), others emphasize it may bridge a perceived gap between science and broader society ("democratization view"). We discuss how an integration both views allow to support complex sustainability transitions areas such renewable energy, health, or environmental conservation. first identify three pathways through which impacts occur: (1) Problem identification agenda setting; (2) Resource mobilization; (3) Facilitating socio-technical co-evolution. To realize this potential, however, needs address important challenges emerge especially context transitions: Increasing diversity, level, intensity participation; addressing social well technical nature problems; reducing tensions traditional institution academic science. Grounded review literature policy reports broad range case examples, article contributes scholarship on science, innovation, transitions. also offer insights for actors involved initiating institutionalizing efforts, including project organizers, funding agencies, makers.

Sustainability transition research (STR) has failed to engage in any significant analyses or critiques of capitalism. This article argues that capitalism is not a 'landscape' factor, but rather permeates the workings socio-technical systems ways must be recognised both for elaborating rigorous accounts trajectories and enhancing capacity STR support future societal sustainability transitions. argument developed specifically relation three challenges STR: analysis actual transitions, application theory cases Global South, move towards forward-looking STR. The identifies main implications this with respect interdisciplinarity, validity current theoretical frameworks, practice Ultimately, invites scholars more openly reflexive only about possible biases, also regarding their own roles society.

Amplifying the impact of sustainability initiatives to foster transformations in urban and rural contexts, has received increasing attention resilience, social innovation, transitions research. We review literature on amplification frameworks propose an integrative typology eight processes, which aim increase such initiatives. The processes are: stabilizing, speeding up, growing, replicating, transferring, spreading, scaling deep. aggregated these into three categories: amplifying within, out, beyond. This aims stimulate debate from across research areas support transformations. going beyond understanding amplification, focuses only numbers initiatives, by considering how create transformative change.
