To this end, we conducted an exploratory study analysing the features and practices of the clients who join these networks through qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques (20 semi-structured interviews and a survey of 196 cases). Qualitative analysis highlighted the importance of certain moments of rupture in consumers' biographies, such as the transition to veganism or the reduction of meat consumption. The quantitative phase indicated that vegans and vegetarians represent an important group of customers in alternative food networks. Compared to other consumers, they show a greater interest in the systemic aspects of the food system. Likewise, the incidence of their refusal to buy food in supermarkets, their frequent purchase of agroecological and organic food and a high proportion of expenditure in them points to their greater degree of politicisation. These findings allow us to reflect on the implications of the convergence of AFN and plant-based diets for the sustainability of the food system.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147565171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging literature employs agent-based modelling (ABM) as an effective computational approach to study this topic. ABM is particularly valuable because it can address the multi-level dynamics, complexity and emergent phenomena in socio-technical energy transitions, simulate innovation diffusion and inform decision-making in policy and planning. However, no systematic review has yet been conducted on the growing ABM literature on residential LCET uptake. Residential LCET uptake, as a key part of the notably place-based energy transition, can benefit from a place-based approach (PBA) which explicitly considers local actors and socio-spatial contexts. The integration of PBA in this literature remains underexplored. This paper systematically analyses 22 articles from the Scopus database, focusing specifically on evaluating the application of ABM in researching residential LCET uptake and examining how PBA is embedded or reflected. We analyse key modelling aspects including model purposes, theoretical and empirical background, agent-decision making, interactions, heterogeneity, stochasticity, observation and emergence. Our findings highlight the significant potential of ABM in elucidating underlying mechanisms and emerging trends in residential LCET uptake, supporting decision-making for policymakers and stakeholders and informing policy design and evaluation. We identify a research gap concerning qualitative inputs and a research challenge of empirical validation. A common place-based focus, demonstrated through the incorporation of socio-spatial contexts and engagement with local actors and stakeholders, is also identified among the reviewed models. We further discuss potential pathways of integrating PBA to advance ABM research on residential LCET uptake.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, they can highlight which areas are most vulnerable to adverse fire impacts or be used to plan interventions for risk reduction and prevention. In recent years, several studies have mapped the fire management activities and the networks between the multitude of involved actors. They build upon previous advances to combine quantitative and qualitative social network analysis with geographical analysis and cartography, aiming to highlight areas of opportunity to enhance fire governance. This paper continues this line of research, examining cooperation in fire management within the south-eastern part of the state of Chiapas. This area is the main fire risk area in Southern Mexico, characterised by the involvement of many different fire management actors. The paper proposes two advances to better visualise the networks between these actors—integration with modularity clustering and a thematic map integrating different spatial scales—and discusses the implications of these fire network maps for governance. The paper's main results are, first, the confirmation of the considerable influence of spatial distance and aspects of human and physical geography on network formation. Second, it shows the capacity of mapping to inform regional fire management arrangements.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147562985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing significant gaps in existing research, it focuses explicitly on how young women and gender-diverse youth perceive climate adaptation, experience participation barriers and envision transformative pathways to achieve climate justice. Our qualitative, participatory research explores three central questions: (1) What barriers do young women and gender-diverse youth face in climate governance? (2) How do neoliberal discourses shape youth perceptions and experiences of adaptation responsibility? (3) What transformative approaches do these youth advocate for achieving inclusive climate justice? Our findings reveal significant procedural and recognitional injustices; participants described persistent marginalisation due to their age, gender identity and ethnicity, reflecting broader structural exclusions in climate governance processes. Despite initially internalising neoliberal adaptation narratives of individual resilience, participants critically challenged such discourses following experiences of inadequate systemic support during recent climate disasters. They advocated strongly for inclusive, community-based governance that addresses intersectional vulnerabilities and promotes genuine equity and procedural justice. Moreover, youth participants argued explicitly for systemic changes, including co-governance arrangements grounded in mātauranga Māori (Indigenous knowledge) and critiques of neoliberal capitalism and colonial frameworks. Ultimately, we argue that meaningful youth engagement requires transformative, intersectional approaches to climate adaptation that go beyond tokenism to redistribute decision-making power and address deeper social and environmental injustices.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147568877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
