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}

What drives these connections? The resource-based theory of system building suggests actors pursue relationships based on resource availability and distribution. Network theory adds that social processes vary across innovation system functions, affecting configurations and actor involvement. 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}

Because most chemicals and materials are currently derived from petrochemicals, the extraction of fossil fuels cannot be limited without transitioning chemical manufacturing to different carbon sources. 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.

A discourse network analysis (DNA) is performed to examine the development of the related policy debate, identify key problem and solution framings and analyse the overall discourse evolution from 2018 to mid-2023. The findings highlight how recent exogenous events shape and reframe the discourse, inciting debates around viable mobility futures. Further, our analysis uncovers a novel discursive strategy termed repugnostic framing, through which incumbent actors aim to oppose the framings of other discursive agents, leading to increased lines of conflict and polarisation, thus possibly hindering effective policy implementation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100963"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049886","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}

In this paper, we focus on the role of sub-national government authorities in co-creative redevelopment. Particularly, we zoom in on the legitimacy challenges that these authorities face and must address for co-creative redevelopment to have transformative capacity. We draw on insights from the case of GZI Next in Emmen, the Netherlands, and identify six challenges, amongst others intra-organisational conflicts of interests, accountability issues, and competing claims to the right to a just transition.

Additive adoption of heating systems has resulted in ‘hybrid heating’ comprised of several complementary energy systems. The hybridization of heating is spreading rapidly among households, featuring high diversity regarding both the make-up of hybrid solutions and the householders who create them. Our close-up study of 56 Finnish households characterizes different aspects of hybrid heating and their interrelations. Households display considerable agency in setting-up, running and adjusting and innovating in their hybrids. Hybrid heating can be conceptualized as <em>configurational arrangements</em> that are made to ‘work’ in a particular setting, meshing, e.g. material, social and economic resources. From a policy perspective ‘hybrid heaters’ are not a coherent group to which supporting measures are easy to target. Yet this diversity also indicates a broadly distributed capacity for households to advance the low carbon energy transitions through hybridization of heating.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 100958"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143179739","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}
