Agency Capacities to Implement Transition Pathways Under High-End Scenarios

Co-producing transformative visions for Europe in 2100: A multi-scale approach to orientate transformations under climate change

“…1). For an overview of socio-economic scenarios see Kok et al (2019); ; ; for climate scenarios and impact modelling Harrison et al (2019); Papadimitriou et al (2019); for pathways Frantzeskaki et al (2019); Hölscher et al (2017);; Tàbara, Cots et al (2018).…”

“…Following the transition management approach for envisioning (Frantzeskaki & Tefrati, 2016), our envisioning process encompassed three main co-production steps: (a) formulating guiding principles, (b) creating and consolidating the vision, and (c) comparing and aligning visions across scales. This paper focuses on these envisioning stepsfor a comprehensive summary of the IMPRESSIONS process steps and the positioning of the envisioning process see Frantzeskaki et al (2020), Hölscher et al (2017) and Holman et al (2020) 1 Our envisioning approach was a highly iterative and participatory process, combining surveys, workshops and preparatory and analytical work by the interdisciplinary research team. Active participation of actors with a stake in and future concern about the issue is crucial (Frantzeskaki & Tefrati, 2016;O'Brien et al, 2014;Pereira et al, 2018).…”

“…Any contradictions, concerns and missing elements found during the analysis were discussed. Throughout the workshop series, which also served to generate transition pathways to achieve the vision (Frantzeskaki et al, 2019;Hölscher et al, 2017), the stakeholders were offered the opportunity to continuously reflect on and adapt the vision.…”

Transforming places together: transformative community strategies responding to climate change and sustainability challenges

“…Citizens for example have become active innovators, selfservice providers or small-medium enterprises establishing sustainable businesses that demonstrate sustainability in practice (Frantzeskaki et al 2016). These actors often act collectively in networks and partnerships (Hölscher et al 2020). Community initiatives or movements are known to provide spaces for experimenting and learning that produce alternative and sustainable strategies, practices and pathways (Huntington et al 2017;Ajulo et al 2020).…”

“…However, this is not sufficient to protect communities from greater risks in the future. Incremental adaptation responses lack to address the current structures, systems, behaviours and its associated lock-ins, path dependencies and vested interests that contribute to social vulnerability (Boon et al 2021;Fedele et al 2020;Hölscher et al 2020;O'Brien 2012;Ribot 2014). Rather they are reactive, local and short-term responses that are likely to be maladaptive (Cameron 2012;Pelling 2011;Simon et al 2020), because the effects of longterm environmental change are marginalised and adaptation options that challenge the status-quo are downplayed (Stafford Smith et al 2011).…”
