These scenarios depict different pathways through which states approach ‘sustainability’, emphasizing reductions in the world economy's scale and shifts toward post-growth and/or ecocentric societies. The scenarios underscore the necessity of structural changes in the global politico-economic system alongside technological advancements. While FST1-6 outline opportunities for fast societal transformation catalyzed through ‘Black Swans’, they also point to significant obstacles to timely transitions.

This study addresses this gap by employing a novel analytical approach to systematically explore intervention points that trigger feedback loops as a mechanism for initiating social tipping dynamics. We applied this framework to Pully, Switzerland, a pioneering municipality that has ambitious energy targets. Cross Impact Balance Analysis was used to develop consistent scenarios, which were then analysed to identify dominant feedback loops, both stabilizing and reinforcing. Succession Analysis was employed to pinpoint intervention points that initiate social tipping dynamics and lead to the most desired scenario. Our research contributes to the empirical analysis of social tipping dynamics by providing a detailed understanding of the interplay between socio-technical factors for sustainability transitions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100973"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520531","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}

Simultaneously, sustainability transitions research has insufficiently studied policy interactions in Global South contexts. This paper applied a policy coherence analysis to a Global South context to study the policies adopted during 2000–2020 to stimulate a shift towards low-emission road passenger transport systems in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. Top-down and bottom-up approaches were combined to analyse policies. Results show that policies were more coherent around the politically prioritised transport technologies and practices than those not politically privileged. Political prioritisation matched the government's electoral manifesto and its long-term pro-climate development masterplans. Political disfavour resulted from financial constraints and resistance due to the vested interests of incumbent actors. This discrepancy resulted in policy incoherence inhibiting transformative change in the road passenger transport system as a whole.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100967"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143478826","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}

We introduce shared intentions as a core aspect of collective agency through which governance actors develop governance capacities and integrate this notion with a perspective of strong structuration. We illustrate the framework's application with a case study of the Eindhoven Metropolitan Region, drawing from a set of in-depth interviews with key civil servants, policy document review and participant observation. Application of the framework allowed us to identify two key underlying forces driving governance capacities development: (1) social learning processes through which governance actors learn about how to collectively respond to external developments and challenges and (2) path dependence, which provides directionality to capacities development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100968"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349916","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 these ideas using the case of the US organic seed niche, operationalizing the seed innovation system as four functional networks. The analysis shows that all the functional networks are shaped by “partner mode” structures, suggesting that cooperative relationships form when resources are available and distributed, with some variation across functions. Institutional affiliations also affect actors' involvement in specific innovation system functions, with differences between non-profit and for-profit actors. This research advances sustainability transitions by empirically testing and extending existing theories with network analysis, offering generalizable insights into innovation system formation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100965"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143359210","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}

However, simply changing the carbon source is insufficient and could exacerbate the biodiversity crisis. We propose a comprehensive strategy to address the interconnections between chemical pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
