Abstract

Projects are essential for the net-zero transition, yet the project studies literature largely ignores net-zero transition and net-zero projects. We argue that projects are vectors of change enabling the transition toward net-zero sociotechnical systems. Leveraging a systematic literature review, we identify four types of net-zero projects: (1) new assets; (2) upgrade assets; (3) behavioral intervention; and (4) Research, Development, and Demonstration (RDD). We present how “net-zero projects” can enable the transition of sociotechnical systems toward net-zero, reducing emission intensity or quantity. Finally, we underline the heterogeneity of net-zero projects in terms of complexity, barriers, benefits realization time span, and complementarities.

作为变革载体的项目：向零净社会技术系统过渡

项目对净零过渡至关重要，但项目研究文献在很大程度上忽视了净零过渡和净零项目。我们认为，项目是变革的载体，能够推动社会技术系统向净零过渡。通过系统的文献回顾，我们确定了四类净零项目：（1）新资产；（2）资产升级；（3）行为干预；以及（4）研究、开发和示范（RDD）。我们介绍了 "净零项目 "如何使社会技术系统向净零过渡，降低排放强度或数量。最后，我们强调了净零项目在复杂性、障碍、效益实现时间跨度和互补性方面的异质性。

期刊介绍： Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management. Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise. PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
