My presentation for the LCS-Rnet and ISAP conference in Yokohama on the need to open up the low carbon agenda, develop more transformative science and new tools
The document summarizes a presentation about understanding social systems transitions and transition management strategies. It discusses analyzing complex social systems, transition dynamics involving fundamental shifts across multiple levels over time, and a transition management approach to influence transitions through visioning, experimentation, and multi-actor governance.
Opening speech at the launch of www.buildingmelbourne.com, an initiative to accelerate the transition of Melbourne into the most liveable and sustainable city.
The document discusses the Healthy City Initiative and outlines its key objectives:
1) To guide transport planning and engineering towards also considering public health aspects which have not been dominant.
2) To translate objectives from policies and plans into real life changes by designing tools to achieve sustainability in urban transport.
3) To determine what multi-sectoral collaboration can contribute, like developing comprehensive long-term solutions and identifying unintended impacts of policies across sectors.
Transition Management is a transdisciplinary approach for addressing persistent social problems and enabling system innovation for sustainability. It uses a complex systems framework to take an integrated perspective on social systems and their multi-level dynamics over the long term. The approach involves multi-actor governance to stimulate and facilitate social learning, experiments, and innovation in order to influence the speed and direction of ongoing societal transitions to more sustainable systems.
The document discusses frameworks for governing transitions to low-carbon systems. It addresses the challenges of simplifying complex transformations and tensions between objectifying and reflexive approaches. It also examines multi-level perspectives on transitions and the role of social science in low carbon governance.

1) The document outlines a participatory knowledge mapping research project exploring the relationships between productivity, energy, and wellbeing in the UK.
2) The researchers developed mapping strategies to explore assumptions that higher productivity necessarily leads to higher living standards, given the transition away from fossil fuels.
3) Initial mapping activities included individual concept maps from experts on energy and productivity, and wellbeing and productivity, as well as group "giga" maps to identify critical relationships and uncertainties between concepts.
Overcoming the Inferiority Complex: Demonstrating the Value of Active TransportCatalystian
This paper was to be presented at the VeloCity Global Conference in Adelaide South Australia on 29th March 2014, but circumstances prevented my doing so. It is placed here to put it on the public record and to make it accessible to stakeholders and others interested in the economics of cycling and walking.
Most jurisdictions now have policies supporting greater use of active transport (walking and cycling). Despite this, programs often have difficulty either getting or sustaining the level of funding necessary for achieving the objectives of those policies.
Despite decades of published research and analytical studies of the value of walking, cycling, active transport and travel behaviour change, transport planners are often strangely reluctant to accept that these alternatives to the car perform as well as or better than car-based or public transport investments. It’s almost as if we don’t believe our own rhetoric. This is, paradoxically, reflected in the insistence on monitoring and post-evaluation of many travel behaviour change projects, as though previous evaluations are unreliable. Perhaps ironically, these post evaluations provide a body of research and analysis that consistently shows walking and cycling to be effective and valuable alternatives to driving the private car for sufficient of our daily travel to be at least as worthwhile investing in as more conventional transport projects.
In recent years, the ability to demonstrate the value of active transport has been enhanced by research into the value of congestion-reduction and health effects, which can be more than half the total benefits.
This paper uses recent research to demonstrate that the socio-economic case for investment in active transport has been sufficiently articulated and quantified that a more streamlined model of public sector decision-making is warranted and required. Such a model might be based on a program rather than project approach, with ex-ante appraisal of projects in a program context, and simpler, less costly monitoring of effectiveness and outcomes.
From research outputs to development outcomes: Fostering fodder innovationILRI
The document summarizes ILRI's approach to livestock research for development, which focuses on fostering innovation through partnerships within livestock systems and value chains. It discusses challenges like the need for research outputs to have development outcomes. ILRI's framework designs research to actively influence actions within innovation systems, not just generate knowledge. Case studies from fodder projects in Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria show how focusing on positive examples of adoption and building innovation capacity led to changes in actors, institutions, and policies. Lessons indicate the need to work at larger scales, consider diverse livestock contexts, and allow flexibility for emergent opportunities.
Social learning for collective action on climate changeweADAPT
This document discusses social learning as a way to address "wicked problems" like climate change adaptation. It analyzes three cases of social learning from Africa and reflects critically on social learning in theory and practice. Key challenges include issues of power and consensus building, recognizing problems without the power to create change, and evaluating impact and outcomes. Moving forward, the document argues for transforming institutions and research to build a stronger evidence base on whether and how social learning improves development outcomes in addressing climate change.
The document discusses transitions towards sustainable development. It notes that persistent problems like climate change require fundamental changes to societal systems, structures, cultures and practices (transitions). Transition management is presented as an approach to facilitate such transitions through long-term envisioning, multi-actor collaboration, experimentation and focusing on learning and innovation. Examples of transition processes in waste management, energy and other domains are provided.
The document discusses sustainability transitions and the role that museums can play in transitions. It describes how society is facing complex problems and changing. Museums can help guide transitions by making their own operations more sustainable, developing new programs and infrastructure to facilitate public debate and reflection, and participating in innovation processes in society. The goal is for museums to act as beacons that can help navigate chaotic transitions toward more sustainable systems.
The document discusses urban transition management in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It describes Rotterdam as a major contributor to CO2 emissions but also a place of innovation and change. It outlines an approach using a system and transition framework to transform Rotterdam into a more sustainable city. It then provides details on three programs - Rotterdam Climate Initiative, Pact op Zuid, and Cityharbours - where transition management was applied in different ways to address challenges in mobility, energy, policy and other subsystems.
1. Sustainable development requires transitions to more sustainable systems that incorporate processes of societal, ecological, economic, cultural and technological evolution over the long term.
2. Governance for sustainability transitions should allow societies to self-organize towards sustainability through deliberate and reflexive strategies that promote innovation while securing long-term sustainability values.
3. An operational framework for transition governance includes strategic visioning, experimental tactics at the subsystem level, monitoring and evaluation, and science-policy co-production to guide transitions.
This document discusses urban transitions and transition management. It notes that urban transitions are inevitable but may not lead to sustainability due to barriers like policy fragmentation. Transition management is presented as a framework to help accelerate transitions towards sustainability through a multi-level and multi-actor governance approach. The framework involves developing transition arenas, agendas, and experiments to help shift systems to more sustainable configurations over time. Examples of applying transition management in various cities are also provided.

1. The document discusses retooling leadership education to foster more responsible leaders by changing curriculums to address sustainability issues from multiple perspectives.
2. It proposes a multifaceted platform and two-semester program integrated into the academic setting to give students hands-on experience addressing sustainability challenges through research and partnerships.
3. The goals are to increase student and faculty awareness of social and environmental issues and provide an in-depth learning experience on sustainability topics and their business implications.
Five European cities - Aberdeen, Ghent, Ludwigsburg, Montreuil, and Rotterdam - participated in a transition management process to develop pathways towards a low carbon future. The process involved understanding each city's current system through interviews, convening transition arenas of diverse change agents to develop long-term visions and agendas, and supporting over 30 transition projects. The arenas empowered participants, improved understanding of sustainability challenges, and sparked new networks and innovations. Key lessons included tapping into existing city dynamics, allowing sufficient time, and elevating knowledge among all involved to better guide transitions towards sustainable cities.
This document discusses pathways to sustainability from the perspective of the STEPS Centre. It notes the complexity of coupled social-ecological systems and the need to consider multiple narratives and pathways. The pathways approach seeks to understand how governance shapes which narratives dominate and become locked in, excluding alternatives. It advocates opening up discussions to recognize diverse values and goals and consider strategies beyond stability and control. The conference aims to discuss contesting and governing sustainability, framing and narratives, dynamics and transitions, and grounding concepts in diverse issues and contexts to inform Rio Plus 20 and beyond.
An Agenda For Sustainability Transitions Research State Of The Art And Futur...Emma Burke
This document provides an extensive review and updated research agenda for sustainability transitions research. It is divided into nine themes: 1) understanding transitions, 2) power and politics, 3) governing transitions, 4) civil society and social movements, 5) businesses and industries, 6) transitions in practice, 7) geography of transitions, 8) ethical aspects, and 9) methodologies. The field has expanded rapidly in recent years and now aims to better understand the complex multi-dimensional processes and social actors involved in transitions through an interdisciplinary lens. Open questions remain around accelerating sustainability transitions to address ongoing environmental challenges.

- Ecosystem services aim to incorporate the value of nature into decisions but have failed to fully understand social and ecological interconnectedness.
- Social science can help reveal the complex relationships between society and nature through participatory mapping of cultural values and lived experiences of ecosystems.
- An integrated project in the Cotswolds uses a social learning approach and participatory ecosystem services framework to engage farmers, businesses, communities and agencies in improving water quality and other services.
- The document discusses strategies for designing experiments to promote sustainability transitions, such as moving energy systems away from fossil fuels. It presents a framework called ESTEEM for designing strategic experiments.
- ESTEEM involves analyzing a case study project, articulating the visions and expectations of stakeholders, identifying conflicting issues, developing options to address issues, and making recommendations to enable collaboration.
- The case study examined is a carbon capture and storage experiment in the Netherlands to demonstrate how ESTEEM can be applied to analyze a specific transition experiment.
Plan C is a policy process in Flanders, Belgium aimed at transitioning the region's waste management system to sustainable materials management. It was inspired by transition management approaches and uses building blocks like envisioning, experimenting, and expanding networks. While Plan C had early success creating a new discourse and niche network, it now faces challenges like maintaining business and societal engagement, adapting financing, and improving tools as contexts change at different system levels. Lessons indicate the importance of context for policy innovation success and opportunities for international collaboration.
This document discusses frameworks for enabling ecodesign and life-cycle thinking among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to address challenges of climate change and resource depletion. It examines how national innovation systems and policy can increase SME adoption of ecodesign. Previous interventions like grants and information diffusion had limited long-term impact. The study will refine a capacity building framework exploring internal and external contexts of ecodesign intervention for SMEs and build models to evaluate such policies.
The document discusses the Luchtsingel initiative in Rotterdam and draws several conclusions. It summarizes that:
1) The Luchtsingel connects and strengthens existing developments in the area while opening it up and having a noticeable economic impact, though expectations for the future are high and ambiguous.
2) The initiative exemplifies the challenges and possibilities of a new style of participatory urban development but requires a broader vision and new governance approach.
3) The city government struggles with participation if not supported by policy, and participatory governance demands redefining all roles as well as playing multiple roles.
Presentatie bij bijeenkomst ondertekening bestuursakkoord water in den Bosch. Over openbreken ingenieurs lock-in, de potentie van circulaire modellen in de waterketen en uiteraard een transitieaanpak
The document discusses transitions to more sustainable societies. It describes transitions as fundamental changes in dominant regimes that are long-term and unmanageable processes that require new forms of governance. The MUSIC project aims to catalyze and mainstream carbon reduction in five cities by developing a transition management strategy and geospatial energy information system. The process involves information-based transition processes that visualize transition scenarios and assess potential problems and perspectives to move cities toward more sustainable futures.
The document discusses a new governance paradigm called "transitions governance" that is capable of responding to continuous societal change. It proposes governance based on the dynamics of change, with principles that co-produce innovative capital, co-mobilize resources, and enable societies to co-evolve and adapt. A detection framework would identify macro-level drivers of change, while an orientation framework provides tenets to guide societies towards transition without direct steering. The presentation seeks to govern systems based on their changing nature and open discussion on new approaches.
1. The document discusses oxymorons related to sustainability transitions, including coordinated emergence, evolutionary revolution, deliberative steering, short-term envisioning, selective participation, and undefined experiments.
2. It proposes ways to resolve the contradictions in these oxymorons, such as using transition arenas to coordinate emergence through collective discussions, considering both short-term incremental changes and long-term fundamental changes in evolutionary revolutions, and allowing for both bottom-up and top-down processes in deliberative steering.
3. The document calls for further debating governance of transitions, communicating transition research, developing transition tools, and internationalizing the transition approach.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
