The dynamics prompt a discussion on how conventional demand-side tools, such as pricing schemes and technology implementation programs, can be adapted to better suit the needs of vulnerable households. Additionally, they showcase the possibility of experimenting with new and innovative ways to bring about more radical change, e.g. sufficiency experiments and revitalising “forgotten” practices.

Empirically, we explore two illustrative experiences of sustainable transitions in Brazil, specifying the roles played by the systemic intermediaries in the process: mobility - the process of reducing emissions, and improvement of quality in raw cow milk production systems. These cases illustrate that socio-technical change would be fostered (or hindered) when three key-roles typically performed by meso-institutions are played - translation, monitoring, and enforcement. Our work has also practical implications to public policies - by considering intermediaries acting as meso-institutions as a fundamental part of the processes of change, regulations can reach the micro-institutional level of firm implementation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100870"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141303636","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}

Based on an analysis of ‘scale frames’ in consultation submissions to the mission's proposed implementation, the case highlights that environmental problems do not fit the jurisdictional boundaries of policy and thus induce negotiation over the geography of missions. We show that scale constitutes a crucial discursive strategy used by actors to secure their interests in the mission discourse and that attempts to depoliticize this discussion through science-based policy remain contested due to the constructed nature of scale.

Recent studies have articulated intermediation by listing diverse roles and activities that intermediaries perform and by presenting theory-based typologies of different intermediaries. However, such listings and typologies fail to capture <em>how</em> intermediaries engage, often informally and multi-directionally, in local experimentation. To improve the conceptual clarity of intermediation in this context, we propose a framework of four intermediation modes: <em>brokering, configuring, structural negotiating,</em> and <em>facilitating and capacitating</em>. We employ these modes in two qualitative, ethnography and interview-based studies of intermediation in urban redevelopment and energy transition contexts. The studies demonstrate that intermediation requires simultaneous engagement in multiple modes owing to the intermediaries’ different competencies, remits, and resources. Therefore, the modes are highly relevant for understanding what it takes to effectively intermediate and for preparing support mechanisms for intermediation in different experimentation domains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54294,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 100849"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422424000406/pdfft?md5=32da00a9c0fc73b12591d75b08921a07&pid=1-s2.0-S2210422424000406-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140910065","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}
