Using 424 newspaper articles, we identify four topics in the public discourse related to cultured meat and positive average sentiment on each topic over the period 2011–2021. Furthermore, we find the actors, groups, and social relations that shape the observed legitimacy outcomes.

Australia, a high-income county with one of the highest per-capita rates of waste generation globally, faces significant challenges for low waste city transitions. We conducted a desktop review of local government waste initiatives across Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane, and recorded interviews with nine waste managers. While the traditional service provider role remains important, municipalities are introducing new ways of addressing the waste problem that rely on actions by other parties, including households. Roles of promoter, enabler and partner are employed to experiment with new initiatives. The promoter role is an important initial stage, but the enabler and partner roles have most potential to orchestrate households as active innovation and change agents in low waste transitions and contribute to broader shifts in social norms and practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100879"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422424000698/pdfft?md5=9dfb1e40a707b90db1ea7eee0cb04de4&pid=1-s2.0-S2210422424000698-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141480366","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}

Drawing upon a mix of semi-structured interviews, fieldwork, and desk research, this paper examines the interconnected imagined socio-spatial and sociotechnical futures through the concept of place-framing. Identifying key actors, conflicts, and place-frames, three place-frames emerged: i) the environmental, ii) the techno-economic, and iii) the social, highlighting respectively the nature, renewable technology research, development, and innovation, and the social community as potential core anchors for the future Longyearbyen after coal.

In this paper, we empirically explore the dynamics of “place-based transition intermediation”, through a case study of the ‘Dune farmers’ in the Netherlands. The farmers initiated a collaboration that serves as a bottom-up, non-state intermediary organization. The case shows the opportunities and intricacies of transition governance through place-based intermediation. We articulate six functions of intermediaries used in such place-sensitive transition governance: (1) Empowerment through cultivating local identity; (2) Constructing place-based relational capital; (3) Developing regional innovative capacity in a place-based innovation system; (4) Stimulating place-based learning; (5) Concretizing transition governance; and (6) Representing place-based networks.

Through an exploration of a Welsh (UK) public food micro-mission, we identify the evolving tensions and conflicts and their impact on such micro-missions and their outcomes.
