Our empirical data were collected in focus groups of two multi-actor workshops organized in two large Finnish cities and supplemented with 11 expert interviews in 2023. From this material, future-related pathways were created up to 2050, showing similarities across two cities regarding preferable futures to make cities greener, calmer, and more comfortable places to live. Furthermore, learning was an overreaching theme with strong connections to all other aspects of the NBS innovation ecosystem. Consequently, mainstreaming NBS is characterized with expanding the knowledge base of innovation ecosystem actors via experiments and co-creative activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103595"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that this gap between knowledge and concern is reproduced by prevailing practices for anticipating energy futures – including those associated with top-down modelling and forecasting, and those attempting to imagine or infer alternative futures from the bottom up. In response, we develop a concept of ‘collective speculation’, inspired in particular by the work of Bruno Latour. Collective speculation, we argue, strives to create common futures by attending to diverse interests and affordances in order to cultivate connections between different forms of knowledge, political concerns, actors and worlds. We illustrate and unpack this concept by exploring our own practice as researchers working on a project using sensors and data visualization to explore collective responses to climate change. We trace practices of collective speculation within the workings of the team itself, as well as across our relations with a key partner and the everyday worlds of our participants, in order to show how collective speculation generates collectives animated by interconnected forms of concern and knowledge.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 103594"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses a Bourdieusian methodology to explore the field of the general public’s perceptions of social-ecological transformations in relation to their future orientations. We assume that an eco-social policy agenda capable of initiating transformational social and ecological change is most likely to receive critical societal support if it is close to people’s experiences and, especially, expectations and hopes in relation to the future. Applying Bourdieu’s relational approach, we investigate with survey data from Sweden how expectations of the future are linked to attitudes towards a transformational sustainable welfare agenda as well as to corresponding political actions and socio-economic factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103593"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143726113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to imagine and narrate more sustainable futures has only recently begun to receive attention in environmental and science education research. Drawing from literature discussing quality criteria for future visions, the current study advances this emerging area of research by investigating how 273 upper secondary and high school students from Norway, Italy, Germany, and Austria in science education describe their desired futures and pathways toward them. In the analysis, we explore how the narratives construe the desired futures, agency, and responsibility. The results of the study show an acknowledgment of the need to take drastic action for sustainability. In the pathways toward the future, the narratives describe cause-and-effect relationships between actors and sociopolitical structures in unidirectional and unspecified ways. We suggest that education can contribute to supporting students’ development of narratives of change by consciously enhancing students’ relational understanding of agency including its dependency on political structures and personal positioning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103591"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143685543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We contend that the citizens of the developed world will be their own jury and find themselves not guilty of claims that their technological progress has been unjustly harming developing nations. Applying affirmative wartime motivational psychology, not divisive claims of injustice, provides a unifying answer. Characterizing defense against climate change as analogous to war against a common enemy that threatens humanity with catastrophe, protection motivation theory and real-life wartime experience instruct how leaders of the strongest nations should tap visceral protectiveness towards all humankind to rally their constituencies to regard all nations as allies and to accept sacrifices to protect the world’s more climate-vulnerable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103583"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143637067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI) as a case study, this paper examines how the Zoöp model fosters regenerative actions within a European cultural institution. The model constructs participatory futures, embedding multispecies interests directly into organisational processes to address gaps in current sustainability efforts. By bridging organisational theory, environmental sustainability, and futures studies, the Zoöp model advocates for reparative, just systems that prioritise ecological health and multispecies well-being. This paper highlights the model's potential to promote a philosophical shift, recognising the intrinsic value of all living beings in decision-making processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 103584"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
