“…This aligns with the extensive body of scholarship on social learning that highlights participatory processes and sharing of experiences and ideas (Keen, Brown, & Dybal, 2005;Muro & Jeffrey, 2012;Reed et al, 2010). It also supports the overall findings of the recent special issue on learning in urban climate governance in JEPP where researchers highlighted the role of socialization and informed personal exchange contributing to deeper learning (Wolfram et al, 2019). Several of the papers in our special issue speak of the importance of leadership and entrepreneurs for learning.…”

“…The seven papers in this special issue address a diverse set of contexts and issues where learning is occurring in environmental governance. In doing so, this special issue provides a nice complement to the recent JEPP special issue on learning that focuses specifically on the context of urban climate governance (Wolfram et al, 2019). For example, two of the papers in this special issue look at urban flood risk in European cities (De Voogt & Patterson, 2019;Mukhtarov, Dieperink, Driessen & Riley, 2019).…”

“…Although there is some indication of new research attempting to better connect learning processes to outcomes, overall, the learning literature as it relates to the assessment of environmental and natural resource management outcomes remains disconnected theoretically and conceptually, and with room to enhance empirical rigor (Gerlak et al, 2019). The recent special issue on learning published in JEPP on urban climate governance, for example, finds only incremental adjustments as opposed to deeper social learning in the eight empirical papers that examined learning in this context (Wolfram et al, 2019) Taken together, these research findings can help the scholarship push our theoretical boundaries by looking at the interactive effects of learning factors, the dynamics of the exogenous setting, and checking our assumptions about learning outcomes. To continue to build the literature, we recognize that we have to both push for more depth within our theories and for continued conversations across theories.…”

“…There are also important topics around learning that are not covered in this special issue, such as how institutional rules of venues or collective settings matter for facilitating the types of social interactions that are important, or how cognitive biases or competing values constrain collective learning in environmental governance, and how to address this. Delving into specific contexts or types of learning, and comparing across cases, as our colleagues have done in the case of urban climate governance (Wolfram et al, 2019) are also important steps in advancing the learning literature. Broadening the community of scholars and practitioners interested in learning in environmental governance can only help serve to mitigate these limitations and further contribute to the study of learning and its role in environmental governance, especially as we can only expect environmental challenges to grow and become more intense in the coming years.…”

“…While this is not the only special issue of JEPP to address questions of learning (e.g. see Wolfram, van der Heijden, Jukola, & Patterson, 2019), it is the first to broadly examine learning processes and outcomes in environmental governance.…”

Bio-macromolecular pigments, such as melanin, play an essential role in the survival of all living beings. Melanin absorbs the sunlight and transforms it into heat, which is crucial for avoiding damage to skin cells. Light absorption produces excited electrons, which could either fall back to ground states by releasing the heat (photothermal effect) and/or light (photoluminescence), or stay at higher energy levels within its lifetime period which can be either captured through external electronic circuitry (photovoltaic effect). In this study, we demonstrate that the combination of melanin with halide perovskite light absorber in the form of composite exhibits high absorbance from UV to NIR region in the solar spectrum. And the composite displays significantly reduced photoluminescence and minimized density of residual excited states (verified by photovoltaic measurement) owing to the significantly enhanced non-radiant quenching by the melanin. As a result, the composite shows an ultrahigh solar-thermal quantum yield of 99.56% and solar-thermal conversion efficiency of ca. 81% under one-sun illumination (AM1.5), which is superior to typical carbon materials such as graphene (ca. 70%). By coating the photothermal composite film on the hot-side of thermoelectric devices, we observed a 7000% increase in output power as compared to the blank device under illumination.

Participatory experimentation on a climate street

Cities' role in addressing both climate change mitigation and adaptation is becoming increasingly important. Within the last decade, cities together with other actors have initiated neighborhood-level climate change projects that build on the concept of experimentation using participation and coproduction. Common features in these initiatives are the limitation of the project to a geographically specific area within the city, inclusion of stakeholders from that physical location, and the use of different types of experimentation through participation in order to pursue climate objectives. This qualitative case study discusses the participatory experimentation and potential structural transformations by focusing on the Climate Street project of Helsinki and Vantaa, Finland. More specifically, we examine how learning, participation, and public visibility contribute toward the impact of the project. Our results show that existing urban governance structures restrict experiments in many ways and only certain types of change are feasible. This implies that while participatory experimentation offers promise but is not a panacea in terms of governing climate change.
