As an emerging technology in an early stage of transition, AVs are increasingly being tested in different spatial contexts with diverse actor constellations in order to enhance the technology further. This article critically examines the added value of these experiments, how they affect the scaling-up of autonomous driving, and highlights key themes that researchers and practitioners should consider when designing experiments. The most striking aspect of our sample is the lack of continuous participatory methods, as well as weak linkages to the transition literature. Reflecting upon how existing experiments link to the core characteristics of socio-technical experiments, we derive central findings for future research avenues: Scaling-up of AVs requires greater involvement of policymakers and enhanced place-specific approaches, while comprehensive co-design experimentation relies on robust, long-term research infrastructures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100993"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how factors associated with PV adoption differ among groups of adopters, and how these differences relate to socio-demographic, household and building characteristics and the geographic context. In 2022, we surveyed 1300 Swiss PV adopters. To segment the adopters, we used factor analysis and clustering methods factors associated with PV adoption.

Missions are often framed as spatially blind endeavors, disconnected from the intricate geographies of innovation and the socio-spatial contexts in which they unfold. This lack of spatial considerations not only devalues the role of cities and regions as designated sites for policy experimentation and implementation but also limits the societal and democratic legitimacy of missions by insufficiently engaging citizens and local communities. How can a place-based approach to mission policies help identify and tackle wicked problems while promoting transitions? Reflecting on this question, this editorial summarizes and synthesizes the results and key themes emerging from the different contributions that constitute this special issue. It discusses how a more explicit geographical perspective that acknowledges scale, place, and space could address shortcomings of contemporary mission-oriented innovation policies. It concludes, first, that anchoring of missions to place requires the active framing, translation and re-framing of global challenges into locally relevant goals, strategies and actions, and building legitimacy through place-based leadership. Second, the contextualization of missions in space highlights how place-specific capacities, political processes, and innovation cultures shape implementation. Third, the politics and scaling of missions demands careful navigation between different spatial levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100970"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we analyse how the development and implementation of digital technologies are deeply embedded in socio-technical-ecological configurations of sustainable energy transitions and consequently reflect these configurations. We contribute to the emerging body of literature that investigates the complex relationship between digitalisation and sustainability transitions, often framed as \"twin transitions\". We develop a conceptual framework that combines the interplay of actors, institutions, technologies and ecological boundaries as core analytical dimensions in transition studies with the concept of <em>scripts</em> from Science and Technology Studies. Scripts allow us to investigate how actor constellations, institutional settings as well as technological and ecological requirements are <em>in-scribed</em> into a digital technology and <em>de-scribed</em> – i.e., interpreted and put into action – by a variety of actors. In this way, we analyse how and which configurations of ongoing transitions are manifested in the technological script. This offers an approach to better understand and reflect on whether and how digital technologies may unfold their often anticipated transformational capacity in transition processes. We illustrate the applicability of our framework with insights from a case study on digital technologies to be installed at onshore wind power plants to detect avian species and curtail turbines when protected birds are at risk of collision.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100994"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we draw on extensive archival document analysis. We trace pesticide lock-in through four periods (from the 1900s to 2024) and explain it as the result of alignment processes across multiple heterogenous dimensions: agricultural policy, input supply, scientific and technical knowledge, on-farm production, and vegetable commercialisation & consumption. These dimensions have aligned in stages, fuelling a dynamic of growing dependence on chemical control. To date, this overall alignment has only been partially challenged, stimulating several adaptations, reinforcing the chemical intensification process, and marginalising attempts to reduce pesticide use. The paper ends with a discussion of conformities and deviations in a case study from the existing literature on lock-in within the agri-food sector in the Global South, before suggesting ways out of the current pesticide lock-in.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100997"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
