Institutional context and the governance of heat transitions: The cases of the Netherlands and the UK
Decarbonising residential heat is essential for achieving net zero targets. The Netherlands and the UK are embarking on heat transitions from similar starting points, with a heavy dependence on natural gas. However, their governance approaches differ, with local municipal visions and plans playing a lead role in the Netherlands compared with a market-led approach in England and Wales. Scotland occupies an intermediate position. This article focuses on why these differences have arisen through the development of a comparative institutionalist framework. We show that heat transition governance approaches are rooted in institutional arrangements for politics, political economy and the degree of centralisation. Our framework can be applied to heat transition governance approaches more widely, but it is not aimed at evaluating different approaches and an agenda for further research would be to link governance effectiveness to institutional context.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions serves as a platform for reporting studies on innovations and socio-economic transitions aimed at fostering an environmentally sustainable economy, thereby addressing structural resource scarcity and environmental challenges, particularly those associated with fossil energy use and climate change. The journal focuses on various forms of innovation, including technological, organizational, economic, institutional, and political, as well as economy-wide and sectoral changes in areas such as energy, transport, agriculture, and water management. It endeavors to tackle complex questions concerning social, economic, behavioral-psychological, and political barriers and opportunities, along with their intricate interactions. With a multidisciplinary approach and methodological openness, the journal welcomes contributions from a wide array of disciplines within the social, environmental, and innovation sciences.
