This book was written for anyone wishing to understand how
sustainable scenarios emerge from current innovations. It
complements current sustainability transition research by
providing a “socio-technical map,” an analytical and operational
tool that can be used to explain the current positioning of
innovators and their networks; to form alternative transition
pathways and scenarios; and to design policies for a
sustainability transition. Drawing on multiple disciplinary
approaches to the study of “green” innovations and focusing
specifically on operational directives, it examines and assesses
multiple transition pathways (and supporting networks). Lastly,
it presents three sectorial case studies (urban mobility,
agri-food, and lighting) to demonstrate how the “socio-technical
map” can be concretely put into practice.
