We find that the current policy mix is not conducive to promoting this transition and highlight three key barriers. First, we find short-term inconsistencies between increasing plastic recycling rates and tightening chemical regulations on hazardous substances. Second, we identify a lack of economic incentives to stimulate demand for recycled content and note the absence of harmonized, mandatory criteria for defining end-of-waste and recycled content.

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}

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}

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":"2025-02-24","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}
