Although there is a great body of knowledge regarding the status of and threats to extant mammal populations in Australia there remains limited comparable information on reptiles. One in five reptilian species are threatened with extinction globally, with one in four species of Australian reptile considered to be in decline. Several prominent threatening processes have been identified as being the likely cause of reptile population declines and local extinctions including: 1. grazing history; 2. human induced habitat loss and fragmentation; 3. habitat homogenisation caused by changes in recent fire regimes; 4. increased predation pressure caused by the introduction of cats and foxes; 5. harvesting, and more recently; 6. climate warming.

Since European settlement within Australia only a single record exists of an Australian reptile becoming extinct—Christmas Island forest skink (Emoia nativitatis) in 2014 however, ten reptile species are listed under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 as Critically Endangered, 20 as Endangered and 33 as Vulnerable. Of these, at least six species are arid zone specialists, including the great desert skink Liopholis kintorei, which is nationally listed as Vulnerable.

In the context of general accelerating change, the World Environment and Development Commission defined ‘sustainable development’ as ‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ (World Environment Development Commission 1987). As a consequence, sustainable transitions research has been undertaken since the early 1990s. Studies have investigated fundamental changes (such as technology, organisations, socio-economic) in systems (products, services, structures) towards more sustainable, social and environmental alternatives. Such a rich body of work focuses on long-term, multi-dimensional and fundamental transformation processes through which established socio-technical systems shift to more sustainable modes of production and consumption.

This form of enquiry has increased rapidly and constitutes a field of research that is of high societal relevance, given the sustainability challenges the world is facing today. Although broadening its scope over the last decade, much of the sustainable transition research currently has…

With the current climate challenges that we currently face, we also need to take a look at the existing operation of the systems to which we are so accustomed. Within the EU, there are policies to make the housing stock energy neutral by 2050. However, this sentiment is not shared internationally. Within the EU, there are several options made available for making renovation of existing stock more financially feasible, with models provided by initiatives such as STUNNING, REVALUE, or ABRACADABRA to name a few. Though the EU has options made available, this is not the case for the rest of the world. The research focuses on the applicability of the aforementioned options available in the EU to a Middle Eastern context through the creation of a scenario building using aggregation methods and using a sensitivity and Monte Carlo analysis to check the performance of each financial model. The research also combines the financial with other technical frameworks such as finding optimum insulation thicknesses and its influence on the pay back periods. The research works in 4 parts, creating a model building through aggregate modeling and frameworks, running the financial dashboard based on the characteristics of the model building and doing a sensitivity and Monte Carlo analysis, then finally an interview is conducted with experts, showing them the data of the model building and then asking about the limitations of said financial models. The applications are reviewed in a foreign context, in this case Kuwait, and in addition, the effects of the large scale application of these models are examined in the literature review. The results show that financially speaking, it is completely feasible to apply these models within Kuwait, and in fact they work better than they do in western contexts because of the avoidance of the landlord-tenant conflict since landlords are responsible for paying utility fees. On average, given Kuwait’s current inflation rates, electricity prices, water prices and average rental rate per m2, we are seeing an average of a 4 year payback period on a major rehabilitation, without even the need for a real estate reevaluation. The micro economic results are also compared with studies made on macro-economic knock on effects of mass renovation within the country, and it was found that it was feasible. Through the interviews, however, it was found that though there are few barriers in the financial sense, there is a lack of understanding and need for a larger investigation into the sociological and behavioral barriers found within this context.

La transition vers un modèle durable de société peut être impulsée et pilotée grâce à des politiques publiques et favorisée par l’innovation. Pour autant, elle suppose des transformations qui dépassent largement l’innovation technologique à proprement parler. Or ces dynamiques de transition restent encore peu étudiées. Nous avons choisi d’analyser en profondeur deux cas d’innovation dans le secteur du recyclage. Nous mobilisons l’approche sociotechnique de la transition (Geels, 2002, 2011) pour éclairer les processus à l’œuvre et les dynamiques enclenchées. Cette perspective articule trois niveaux : le paysage, le régime sociotechnique et la niche sociotechnique. La niche sociotechnique constitue un espace qui permet d’initier des transformations et dans lequel l’innovation se développe de manière privilégiée. Des projets concrets peuvent y éclore et se consolider, protégés de la sélection du régime sociotechnique. Nous nous intéressons aux mécanismes de diffusion de la niche et aux transformations que cette dernière suscite au niveau du régime. Nous discutons certaines de ces notions à partir du matériau empirique constitué. Nous proposons notamment de distinguer les différents types d’intermédiaires de transition, qui contribuent à établir ce lien entre niche et régime.

Innovation and public policies can help trigger and monitor sustainability transitions. This implies transformation processes that go beyond mere technological innovation. Such transition dynamics are still to be thoroughly analyzed. We chose to study two innovation cases within the recycling industry. We use the Multilevel Perspective (Geels, 2002, 2011) to shed light upon ongoing processes and dynamics. This literature makes links between three analytical levels: landscape, sociotechnical regime, and sociotechnical niche. The sociotechnical niche is a locus for emerging transformations and a space to shelter innovation development. Concrete projects can appear and strengthen while protected from regime selection. We focus on niche diffusion processes and regime transformation triggered by the niche. We discuss some notions upon empirical analysis and propose to draw a distinction between transition intermediaries and their contributions to the niche-regime link.

▼ A transition of society to more sustainable energy solutions appears necessary because traditional energy supply is endangered and the use of traditional energy sources has negative impacts on the environment. Partnerships are collaborative arrangements through which actors can strive for sustainability. The literature review reveals that regional partnerships in the sustainable energy field compose a new focus of research on partnership and governance. This research aims to analyse in what way and to what extent regional partnerships may contribute to solving the problem of a transition to a sustainable energy society. An analytical model is derived from a theoretical framework based on partnership, capacity and network theory. On the basis of both the theoretical framework and the analytical model three cases are selected. All cases are located in urban areas, have an objective that relates to sustainable energy related issues and involve actors from at least two spheres of society. Germany is chosen as the context of the regional partnerships due to the quite favourable environment for renewable energies. In a comparative case study the selected regional partnerships are analysed by means of a document review and semi-structured interviews. The analysis is guided by the predefined analytical model. It assumes that the package deals made, the actors involved, their relations, partnership capacities and the context in which regional partnerships are embedded shape regional partnerships' contribution to solving the transition problem. Relation capacity is studied by employing a network analysis tool. The regional partnerships take different approaches to the transition problem. In Hanover region, a regional climate protection agency promotes the development of sustainable technologies and a change in behaviour of citizens. An energy region association with a focus on business development, research projects and networking implicitly aims for a structural change in Nuremberg region. In Munich, an alliance for climate protection facilitates network building and activates business and civil society to implement measures for climate protection. The analysis shows that regional partnerships facilitate particularly information exchange and embrace a pragmatic network strategy. Hence, they often fulfil a function of information provision and dissemination. The objective of the regional partnerships studied is strongly shaped by economic interests. Moreover, regional partnerships remain dependent on state actors which often take on an important role. Thus, the contribution of regional partnerships to solving the problem of a transition to a sustainable energy society is perceived as small. Despite the mixed feelings, the policy strategy of regional partnerships is not discarded and further research on the effects of regional partnerships is recommended.

▼ In this report the possibilities of sustainable heat supply in South-Holland are reviewed. The province of South-Holland has set ambitious targets to reach 20 PJ sustainable heat in 2020, which is defined by the province as renewable heat plus waste heat. On the longer term a sustainable heat and cold share of 50% in 2050 is aimed for. This is based on opportunities such as a large demand for heat, a large availability of waste heat and the specific opportunities in the horticultural sector in the region. However the low existing sustainable heat consumption in South-Holland as well as the existence of numerous barriers to the implementation of sustainable heat means there is a long way to go. After analysing the existing and planned sustainable heat and cold projects and taking into account the business as usual growth of different sustainable heat technologies, it is clear that reaching the 2020 targets will indeed be extremely difficult. By continuing on the current track just over half of the targeted amount will be reached, if all planned projects follow through. In order to increase the chance of meeting the targets, focus must lie with those areas in which large potentials can be reached, such as geothermal energy in the horticultural sector. However, the rest of the technologies and sectors must not be forgotten. In the end the targets can only be reached if all different technologies fulfil their share and if all sectors become significantly more sustainable. This being said, large shares of the total heat demand are unfitted for sustainable heat supply because of practical barriers, for instance retrofitting existing buildings with sustainable heat technologies is impractical and expensive. This must be taken into account and policy should initially be targeted at those shares of the build environment that are more suitable, such as large office buildings and apartment complexes to be build. Considering the long term sustainable heat targets merely stimulating the separate sustainable heat technologies is not sufficient, instead a transition to a sustainable heat regime must be aimed for. In order to keep on the right track towards this transition, but also to increase the effectiveness of policies on the short term, an analysis of the barriers in place should be the starting point to base policy upon. By basing this barriers analysis on transition and innovation theories the focus will lie with transformative change, this reduces the risk of policies that provide short term gains without constructively adding to a long term solution for the problems resulting from fossil fuel use. This barriers analysis takes into account the limits of the role of the province by acknowledging the existence of barriers that cannot be influenced, such as the low price of fossil fuels as a result of the externalization of negative costs. The most important barriers are found to be the complexity of the heat network, the lack of coordination between policies and activities on different governmental and sectoral levels and… Advisors/Committee Members: Worrell, E..

▼ The world experiences large-scale ecosystems degradation in an every part of the planet - in rich as well as in and poor parts. Unstable economic conditions together with weak law enforcements make low income countries face more severe forms of natural destruction. This draws the attention on the need to design economic policies that are environmentally sound and while at the same time ensuring the well-being of their inhabitants in economic, social and natural settings. A number of countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia have experienced a unique historical period of transition from communist regimes to free democratic societies. This has been followed by numerous effects on their financial situations as economic hardships caused by the collapse of economies injected by the assistance from the Soviet and committees of socialist countries mutually aiding each other, opening up of opportunities as private ownership and market liberations. Not all countries succeeded in liberalizing their economic structures and reforming economic and political environments. Simultaneously, the natural environment underwent various effects, both positive and negative, after the Iron Curtain fell and exposed destructing effects of command and control economy. Mongolia has experienced all the hard aspects of the transition and started to climb up on the income ladder from the low income to the lower middle-income list of the World Bank, but also seen many negative price aspects of development. Water resources have been severely degraded in recent years due to anthropogenic impact. However, there are reforms taking place in water sector institutions that have recently attracted wide attention nationwide.This thesis will give detailed picture on current state of water resources in the country and the system that coordinates them. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is used as an approach to highlight the relationship between water resource quality and income per capita in Mongolia. This is followed by a detailed discussion on water institutions development and the coordinating mechanisms badly needed among sectors involved. The research suggests that collaborative actions are important if sustainable water management is to be reached. More generally, I recommend further research issues on the generated topic as my thesis is one of the first discussions coupling the EKC and institutional theory aspects together.

▼ An energy transition is currently taking place in many European countries. Existing studies comparing countries’ energy transition pathways are limited in scope and lack a strong theoretical foundation. This thesis addresses the lack of theoretical framework-based approaches by applying a sectoral analysis framework, identifying the main factors facilitating or hindering the sustainable energy transition in several countries, and the significant differences between them.The research focused on four countries; the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom and was limited to the residential sector of the built environment. It included the three dominant housing types: social rental; private rental; and homeownership. Data was clustered along the four dimensions of the sectoral analysis framework, identifying: (1) actors, interactions & networks; (2) the institutional or legal framework; (3) the technological framework; and (4) market demand. The same process was repeated for each of the countries, forming a detailed overview about their chosen energy transition pathways. A number of interviews were conducted to gain further insight into country-specific factors.With respect to actors, interactions and networks, this study has found that strong ties and cooperation between ministries and departments is an important factor facilitating policy success, with departmental fragmentation or competition posing a significant barrier. In terms of the institutional framework policy stability, clear targets and long-term policy framework are all factors for policy success. Conversely, frequent changes to existing policies, non-binding goals and the absence of a long-term framework are all seen as barriers for a sustainable energy transition. Looking at the technological regime, this study found countries with active support for renewable energy technologies have a higher share of renewable energy than countries where the choice of technologies is largely market-based. Past technological choices and existing energy-infrastructure were found to influence transition pathways and can be both a positive or negative factor. Lastly, with respect to market demand, the existence of a standardised housing stock was found to be a potentially significant factor for the upscaling of innovative initiatives. The existence of a large and fragmented (private) rental sector and high interest rates on financing products were found to be further barriers for the energy transition in the residential sector.This thesis has identified obstacles matching those in previous studies and introduced a number of factors facilitating policy success. It has made a first step in overcoming the lack in theoretical framework-based approaches in energy transition analysis future studies can build on.

Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves rank emission abatement options according to their marginal implementation cost and are an extremely popular tool to draft energy strategies. Although relevant and elegant, MAC curves are often insufficient to justify the implementation of abatement options, as many of the ones ranked financially convenient are not fully realized. The Y-factor method is an alternative approach to emission abatement curves, highlighting the relevance of 12 implementation barriers related to Costs, Multi-actor complexity, Physical interdependencies and Behavioral changes. This investigation applies the Y-factor method to construct a new emission abatement curve, validating its characterizing scores with experts. The obtained Y-curve exposes the relevance of many implementation barriers not capture by MAC curves, as financial barriers are found to account for only 30% of all the considered implementation barriers; the relevance of non-financial barriers helps explaining the reasons for which abatement options considered financially convenient are not implemented. The interviews with experts also verify the relevance of each of the 12 considered factors, each of which is found to be explicitly hampering the implementation of abatement options. Moreover, new insights are highlighted for each of the considered abatement options comparing their ranking in the Y-curve with their respective ranking in McKinsey's global cost curve. The constructed Y-curve and the Y-factor method are successively discussed with players responsible and/or consulted for drafting energy strategies in The Netherlands, namely the Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat, PBL, ECOFYS. The proposed Y-curve is accepted and the Y-factor method is found able to provide supportive insights to sustainable strategy-making. Moreover, the consulted energy strategists envisioned applications of the the Y-factor method for Policy-making, Analytical researches, and for drafting Business strategies. Lastly, a new tool integrating figures from McKinsey's global cost curve and the Y-curve is presented, as an example of possible new tools developed combining the different existing approaches to emission abatement. These new insights expose hidden complexities and thus further support the elaboration of effective and cost-efficient energy strategies and sustainable societal development.

▼ This thesis identifies factors for success and un-success in European sustainable urban development projects and subsequently aims to correlate them with the characteristics and practices of an on-going project, concluding in a set of policy recommendations. Worldwide urbanisation brings a concentration of activities contributing to environmental degradation and social injustice, which implies the need for implementing sustainable development practices in urban planning. Several examples of sustainability-niched experiment districts are found in Europe and in this study four of them were examined through a structured literature review. Results showed that factors impacting the outcomes of the projects were clustered in five broad categories: political/policy, project governance, financial/economic, technical/design and resident/citizen factors. Recurring factors, also implied in the process of the on-going development of Sege Park in Malmö involved multi-scale knowledge transfer, unified leadership, continuity in communication and funding, reflexivity, market fluctuations, design and lifestyle/affluence. By applying a transition management perspective to these recurring factors and their implications for the Sege Park district, the results of this thesis lastly concluded in a set of policy recommendations. Potential transition actors may facilitate the process on a larger scale by partaking in long-term, multi-scalar networks for urban transitions, and on a smaller scale by creating and fostering arenas and policies promoting reflexivity in a city. Furthermore, a continued exploration of pathways and strategies towards a long-term sustainability vision shared by project actors, as well as ways to secure continuous funding for projects is encouraged. A slight shift from mainly relying on technology to solve sustainability issues, towards and integrated socio-technical systems model may be observed in the on-going project. Future challenges to take on may involve gentrification processes, insecure funding, institutional reflexivity and syncing legislation with the process towards sustainability transitions.

Depuis la fin du XXème siècle, des modèles d’agriculture durable (agriculture biologique, agroécologie, permaculture, etc.) sont proposés au Nord comme au Sud pour répondre à la crise systémique contemporaine. La région de Cusco, au coeur des Andes péruviennes, s’affirme comme l’archétype d’un territoire mondialisé où se rencontrent influences endogènes et exogènes, modernes et traditionnelles et constitue en cela un parfait laboratoire pour analyser ce processus de transition vers des systèmes agro-alimentaires plus durables. Les agricultures durables s’y sont d’abord développées pour répondre à la demande des marchés occidentaux et, plus récemment, celle des marchés locaux. Cette thèse identifie les facteurs et les logiques d'adoption et de non-adoption, par les producteurs, de ces innovations agro-écologiques, commerciales, sociales, mais aussi socio-territoriales et politico-culturelles. Elle propose plus largement un décryptage des voies de transition basé sur les catégories de durabilité faible et de durabilité forte. A travers ce cadre d’analyse, l’étude de terrain met en évidence l’hybridation de différentes logiques et de différentes approches de la durabilité au sein de la plupart des stratégies individuelles et collectives. Ces processus d’hybridation et de diversification apparaissent comme des conditions nécessaires à la transition mais doivent faire face à un double enjeu. D’un côté, les initiatives de plus en plus nombreuses et multiformes de conventionnalisation des alternatives (durabilité faible) tendent à reproduire certaines limites du régime socio-technique conventionnel. De l’autre, les propositions de reconception systémique comme l’agroécologie (durabilité forte) font face à des verrouillages socio-techniques produits par ce même régime conventionnel.

Since the end of the 20th century, new models of sustainable agriculture (organic farming, agroecology, permaculture, etc.) emerged in the North and in the South to respond to the contemporary systemic crisis. The Cusco region, in the heart of Peruvian Andes, became established as an archetypal globalised territory, where endogen and exogenous, modern and traditional influences converge. As such, it constitutes a perfect laboratory to analyse this transition process toward more sustainable agri-food systems. Sustainable agricultures were first developed in the area to meet the market demand from Western countries and, more recently, that of the local level. This thesis identifies the factors and rationales behind the adoption or non-adoption by producers of these agro-ecological, commercial, social, socio-territorial and politico-cultural innovations. On a broader level, the study tries to decipher transition paths based on a categorisation of weak and strong sustainability. Through this analytical framework, the field study highlights the hybridization of different logics and approaches of sustainability within most of the individual and collective strategies. These hybridization and diversification processes appear as necessary conditions…

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação Internacional

Embora a disponibilidade alimentar contemporânea seja excedentária, previsões de crescimento demográfico para as próximas décadas vêm pondo em causa essa realidade. Por um lado, discute-se a urgência de se ampliar a produção mundial de alimentos para suprir a demanda crescente. Por outro, o sector alimentar é um dos principais motores das crises ambientais contemporâneas. Um desafio soma-se a esse quadro: a natureza da demanda por alimentos surge como potencial impedimento à sustentabilidade de sua própria produção. A urbanização e o enriquecimento das populações tendem a impulsionar a Transição Nutricional, caracterizada pelo maior consumo de alimentos de origem animal, particularmente intensivos em recursos naturais e na emissão de poluentes. Em síntese, a análise exposta no presente estudo busca evidenciar as correlações entre os sistemas alimentar e ambiental, bem como avaliar o potencial que uma Transição Nutricional "reversa" (ou seja, uma redução do consumo de alimentos de origem animal) pode ter sobre a mitigação das mudanças climáticas e seus impactos para o alcance dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Organização das Nações Unidas.

Although current food availability is in surplus, estimates of population growth over the coming decades are challenging this reality. On the one hand, the urgency of expanding world food production to meet the upcoming demand is being discussed. On the other hand, the global food sector is one of the main drivers of the contemporary environmental crises. An obstacle is added to this context: the very nature of demanded food emerges as a potential impediment to the sustainability of its own production. Urbanization and higher incomes (especially in developing countries) tend to lead to a Nutrition Transition, characterized by higher intake of animal source foods, particularly resource-intensive and pollutant. In summary, the analysis presented in this study seeks to highlight the correlations between the food and environmental systems, as well as to evaluate the potential that a "reverse" Nutrition Transition (through a decrease of animal source foods intake) can have on mitigation of climate change and its impacts to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

▼ The transport sector is responsible for a significant and growing proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. The urgent actions are required to take in the transport sector facing the challenge of growing global change. The major trends, including global urbanization, widespread application of digital technologies, and broad demand for sustainable development, have provided new opportunities for data-driven smart mobility in the future. This research aims to explore potentials of data-driven smart mobility in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11.2, “provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all,” and Sustainable Development Goal 13.2, “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts” and “integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning” reducing greenhouse gas emissions every year. In order to meet this aim, this research explores the understandings and innovations of data-driven smart mobility in achieving decarbonization in urban, as well as barriers during the current practices. Hangzhou, as the capital city in Zhejiang Province in China, has been selected for the case study to examine data-driven smart mobility approaches. The research results show that the potentials of the data to tackle climate issues lie in the efficient transport operation and travel behaviors change. Data technologies have been widely applied to improve the integration of travel modes and the efficiency of transport management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in road traffic. However, there are few drivers to mine data resources for travel behavior change. Moreover, data-driven smart mobility initiatives applied in urban areas involve multiple stakeholders but with limited access to data sharing and opening. Considering disruptive effects and potential promises brought by the big data technologies, the implementation of smart mobility requires for public data strategy with a holistic view of the complex urban challenges and global climate change.

▼ Rapid urbanisation, coupled with climate change, highlights the underperformance and failure of current conventional water management systems. Flooding during the rainy season has become a yearly phenomenon for most countries across Africa, with the poor, living in slums or informal settlements being impacted the most. In order to better manage this problem, this research investigated the potential of adopting a sustainable alternative: sustainable surface water management (SSWM) systems. A transition framework was developed to deliver SSWM focused on informal settlements using sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) as the major driver. SSWM systems reduce runoff by treating stormwater as close as possible to its source, preferably on site. Presently, there appears to be a paradigm shift towards more SSWM practice in developed countries with the growing adoption of SuDS to replace or work in conjunction with, existing conventional drainage methods. However, less-developed countries (LDCs) such as those in West Africa still rely solely on conventional drainage methods. Lagos, Nigeria was chosen as the study site, as it suffers regular flooding, is surrounded by informal settlements, and the existing drainage infrastructure is generally not fit for purpose. A mixed research method was adopted to collect data for this study. This entailed the administration of questionnaires, interviews and focus group meetings with relevant stakeholders, including residents, community leaders and government officials. Data was collected in 2 visits between April and August 2015 across 9 settlements in Lagos. The first visit comprised the administration of 150 questionnaires across the visited sites, and 76 of these were retrieved. Focus group meetings were also conducted to familiarise the respondents with SuDS. During the second visit, 154 questionnaires were retrieved of the 200 distributed, and interviews were carried out with 15 participants, including residents (formal and informal alike), community leaders and government officials. The result from this study indicated that the informal settlers experienced more flooding episodes and also more severe incidences than those living in formal areas. Compared to the formal settlers, negative impacts were much worse and flood waters remained for longer periods in the informal settlements. Further findings showed that the government placed little or no emphasis on addressing these flooding issues in the informal areas. Additionally, the realisation that conventional systems are failing was highlighted in the results, as respondents indicated that blocked gutters were a major cause of flooding. It was also found that the informal residents were interested in the concept of SSWM and its implementation using SuDS in order to address the ongoing flooding issues. These findings clearly demonstrate a need to address these issues, hence, for the first time a framework has been developed focused on informal settlements to set out a process whereby SSWM could be achieved. This framework aims to…

▼ This thesis is set in the context of our world confronting significant socio-ecological crises. Given the anthropogenic causes of these crises, we are at a critical point in determining the state of the planet for future generations (Climate Council 2014; Hamilton 2013; Westley et al. 2011). Of the many conceptual frameworks which refer to this time as one of potential transition and transformation, I situate this thesis within ‘the Great Turning’, as articulated by Joanna Macy (2007). The Great Turning provides a comprehensive and theoretically-based framework for conceptualising a shift from an industrial growth society, dependent on accelerating consumption of resources, to a life-sustaining society. It is comprised of three interrelated and mutually reinforcing dimensions which Macy (2007) describes as: i) holding actions (activism); ii) creation of alternative structures; and iii) a shift in consciousness. The focus of my research is the Transition movement which, in response to the multiple crises we face, is designed to build resilience and reduce carbon emissions in local communities. Since 2006, when Transition Town Totnes, England was launched as the first official Transition Initiative, Transition has spread rapidly to over 1120 Initiatives in 42 countries, with 88 Initiatives in Australia (Transition Network 2013). Informed by the principles of relocalisation, Transition Initiatives address key aspects of a community such as food, housing, energy, transport, waste, economics and health. Other features include an emphasis on positive visioning, inclusion and openness, sharing and networking, Inner and Outer Transition, re-skilling, self-organisation, and decision-making at the appropriate level (Hopkins 2011). My over-arching research question considers the ways in which Transition is a force in the Great Turning. In particular, I consider the extent to which Transition is replicating existing paradigms and structures or challenging and re-imagining them; whether Transition is engaged in transformation or whether it is ultimately reformist as it sets up a potentially radical alternative to the dominant paradigm. These questions frame the fieldwork which is located in Australia, and includes a focus on Inner Transition. I conducted 30 interviews with active Transition participants, and representatives from 32 Transition Initiatives completed a qualitative survey. The semi-structured interview questions and open-ended survey questions were designed to elicit the participants’ reflections on their lived experiences of Transition. My analysis, using feminist methodologies, is thematic and emergent. My original contribution to knowledge is through analysing Transition using feminist and complexity theoretical frameworks (for example Wells 2013; Sturgeon 2009; Morin 2008; Shiva 2005; Plumwood 2002) and my subsequent findings. These conceptual lenses offer critical, divergent, and complementary means for analysing Transition as a force in the Great Turning. Transition has been designed using a whole systems… Advisors/Committee Members: University of Western Sydney. School of Social Sciences and Psychology. (Host institution).

Even as the current linear value chains (LVC) of organic waste and animal feed hold the potential to become circular, these practices continue to pose major environmental risks such as deforestation and overfishing. Therefore, a novel circular value chain (CVC) is proposed, connecting the organic waste stream with animal feed production by the use of insect-based organic waste conversion technology. The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is chosen as the insect-based conversion technology since it has nutritional properties, which serves both waste treatment and animal feed material production purposes. Although there are already initiatives and collaborations in the Swedish context, the transition has not yet been successful. The study aims to identify and propose required solutions for the value chain transition. By using the transitional study tools of Technological Innovation System (TIS) and Multi Level Perspective (MLP) alongside sustainable value chain transition studies, it is found that technological and information-related adjustments are required to further enable the transition. Technological adjustments are studied from the perspective of Ragn-Sells AB as a potential insect- based organic waste conversion actor. Scenarios to see economical sustainability were designed based on the quantity fluctuation of waste as material input (3,000 tons per year and 15,000 tons per year), possibility of automated operation which affects both investment and operating costs of the facility, and procurement of small BSF larvae (off-site and in-site breeding). From the different scenarios designed, it is found that the scenario with the capacity of 15,000 tons per year, higher investment due to automation, and on-site breeding is the most preferable for the case. To answer information- related needs, an Informational Flow Framework (IFF) is proposed. The IFF consists of “Value Chain Stakeholders”, “CVC Relevant Regulations”, “Information Data Pool”, and “Information Flow”. The framework’s main function is to identify the type of material information required to be distributed in the system and the stakeholders whom require and/or provide various information, with the main goal of increasing the trust among the stakeholders related to material information.

Imagine a neighborhood where almost all of the decisions are left to its inhabitants; a neighborhood where all of the inhabitants cultivate soil to grow their food for their own consumption, in other words prosumerism*. This newly established neighborhood is Oosterwold which is located in the intersection of Dutch cities Almere and Zeewolde. Oosterwold is specifically designed to include agriculture activites into everyday life of its inhabitants which would enable sustainable ways of living in the area. This project is an attempt to explore the opportunities that prosumerism holds to enable the transition towards sustainability in Oosterwold. It explores and designs for prosumerism in Oosterwold as a means to foster the transition in the area. By framing prosumerism as a social practice and making use of ideas from transition design; the project offers a bottom-up approach to foster sharing and exchange of gardening things in the neighborhood. In order to understand and further design for the elements of prosumerism, the project makes use of both human and thing-centered design research methods. The project advocates that once the needs and desires of prosumers together with the role of gardening tools in the practice are discovered, then it would be possible to design for prosumerism to foster sustainable ways of living. The broader project question of “how can we enable the ongoing transition in Oosterwold through the food growing practices of inhabitants?” is narrowed down to the design goal of “how can we enable community building of prosumers through supporting their meanings of food growing in Oosterwold?”. The project choses sharing, exchanging and collaboration as mechanisms which enable community building in Oosterwold. Through increasing involvement in prosumerism activities and facilitating know-how sharing of individuals about gardening, community building can be reached. The resulted design is DIY Exchange Hubs that are cube-like boxes for Oosterwolders to exchange gardening things like tools, books, seeds and excess produce. The hubs can be built by Oosterwolders with the help of building manual which includes drawings of the pieces, instructions about how to put them together and extended features section that includes tips about coloring and functional differentiation of the hubs. Further, the hubs can be traced and tracked with the mobile application. Through the application, Oosterwolders may see the current status of the hubs, how to make use of the things that are in the hubs and further make a hub building request. *: A made up word which is derived from the combination of “producer” and “consumer”: “prosumer” refers to the ones who grow their own food where “prosumerism” refers to the practice of prosumers.

Purpose: Climate change and increased proportion of hard surfaces due to urbanization is causing problems with flooding. Although it has been known for a long time that traditional stormwater management needs to be complemented, progress towards Sustainable Drainage Systems, SuDS, is slow. Techniques to locally handle storm water are available for most situations, but there is a lack of knowledge and experience. The aim of this thesis is to present a proposal on how implementation of SuDS can be promoted in urban development projects in Jönköping municipality. Method: Using literature review, interviews, document analysis and observation a qualitative study was conducted in two urban development projects; Ekostaden Augustenborg in Malmö and Munksjöstaden in Jönköping. Findings: The majority of the stormwater management techniques available in Augustenborg have also been discussed in Munksjöstaden by Jönköping municipality. Only one third of the techniques which has been discussed will be realized. Jönköping municipality lacks clear goals and a vision that is integrated into the planning process, which can explain this. During the interviews the site conditions were presented as arguments to why SuDS is difficult to implement. However the analysis showed that it is the other conditions that are decisive, something that also the scientific studies indicated. In order to promote the implementation of SuDS general and project-specific actions were elaborated. Implications: The local plan is the municipality’s sharpest tool for control of the physical development and demands must be submitted in the local plan in order to promote SuDS. The municipality needs to reprocess a practice level and equate SuDS with traditional stormwater management in order to make relevant demands on developers. To promote the implementation of SuDS, the authors suggests that Jönköping municipality carry out a pilot project focusing on sustainable stormwater management in an upcoming urban development project. Limitations: Since the thesis only includes two projects, there is a limitation of the conditions treated. Since the other conditions and the recommended actions are based on the factors identified in a national survey, the applicability is considered to be good. Although the project-specific actions are based on Jönköping municipality, it is possible for other municipalities to apply the PDSA-wheel to the extent that is suitable for the municipality.

Syfte: Klimatförändring och urbanisering med ökad andel hårdgjorda ytor orsakar problem med översvämningar. Trots att det sedan länge är känt att den traditionella dagvattenhanteringen behöver kompletteras går utvecklingen mot Sustainable Drainage Systems, SuDS, långsamt. Tekniker för att ta hand om dagvattnet lokalt finns för de flesta situationer men det saknas kunskap och erfarenhet. Målet med arbetet är därför att presentera ett…

▼ To continue the success of the Port of Rotterdam (PoR) in the future, a transition to a sustainable industry is essential. Though this is easier said than done. The energy transition involves a variety of initiatives which are at the same time highly dependent on each other. Whilst the increasing scarcity of available area and resources result into the situation that a decision will have to be made. As long as this decision is not made, it leads to high uncertainty on which activities are going to take place in the PoR and at which point in time they are expected. To support the decision making on which activities to should focus on, there is an urgent need for a decision tool at the PoR authority. The main conclusion, however, is that it is impossible to develop a decision tool which is able to make a choice among different activities. This decision is impossible because every activity has its own demands and requirements and differs in the contribution it has to the strategic goals. Besides this, the set requirements cannot be expressed in a single unit, leading to the situation that a comparison cannot be judged. Following from the above, it is being discouraged to develop a decision tool. The allocation process and the involved requirements are too versatile to be simplified in a single tool. If such a simplification is made, this will result in missing essential opportunities and potential bottlenecks in the sequential project phases. Based on the above conclusions, it is investigated whether it is possible to provide the PoR authority with guidelines that support the comparison of different activities. To do so, the involved requirements in the allocation process are substantiated. These requirements are evaluated from three different points of view: demand side (client), resources side (Port of Rotterdam authority) and their priority in the decision making. By means of the evaluation, the aspects have been identified that must be implemented into the guidelines. In addition to the requirements, it is important for the PoR authority to incorporate its communicated strategy into the daily activities. To do so, the commercial strategy has been developed. At first sight, the integration of the commercial strategy is not acknowledged to be a requirement in the allocation process. Though, as the research proceeded, it turned out that the commercial strategy has a more important role in the decision making than anticipated. Resulting in the situation that if the PoR authority is really looking to fulfil its climate targets, the commercial strategy should function as a self-contained requirement in the allocation process. From the conclusions, the recommendation for the PoR authority is to develop a central team that involves the experts of the relevant requirements to judge the potential activities. This team will have the primary task to evaluate and judge the potential activities prior to entering the project phases. The judgement of the potential… Advisors/Committee Members: Vellinga, Tiedo (mentor), Taneja, Poonam (mentor), Osseweijer, Patricia (mentor), Vervoorn, P.H.J.

▼ [EN] Under the well-known slogan 'think global, act local', cities in the 21st century face the enor-mous challenge of catalyzing, intensifying and accelerating sustainable urban transformations. Without losing a holistic view, the methodology presented in this thesis places the focus on 're-source management and climate mitigation and adaptation', in particular in urban stormwater management, proposing processes that can bring about the required change, shaped by the place-based approach of the regenerative sustainability paradigm. Building upon literature and practice that supports a flexible approach to stormwater manage-ment in urban environments that mimic natural processes and predevelopment hydrology (Sus-tainable Drainage Systems, SuDS) as one way to, amongst others, help to prevent and adapt to climate change, the thesis highlights the relevance of the connection to the place for adoption of best practices that conduct towards a regenerative system. Hence, it incorporates this con-nection to the place to the SuDS representation, naming it the SuDS 'landed rocket'. The proposed methodology includes a conceptual framework, specific method and tools, that allows for the understanding and the characterization of the current situation of a urban stormwater system in a process that guides future actions to move towards the desired regen-erative urban built environment concept, with a place-based holistic view. This methodology has been applied to Benaguasil, a Mediterranean city, where stormwater management is the local authority's responsibility and has been historically guided by main-stream conventional drainage practices. The thesis shows how, by taking a multi-dimensional and trans-disciplinary approach to solve environmental problems, future actions can be proper-ly addressed. Working with academia has been essential to develop wider evidence base. In this case, a sequence of research projects has advanced the innovative approach to stormwater management in Benaguasil, but it is contended that this methodology could be applied to any urban context. The thesis aims to enhance smart governance by providing information about the successful implementation and monitoring of SuDS showcase sites in Mediterranean Spain. These show-case sites are catalysts in the transition towards regenerative urban built environments in the region. In addition, it provides international examples that add further credence for improved urban ecological infrastructure by demonstrating what success can look like.; [ES] Bajo el conocido eslogan 'piensa global, actúa local', las ciudades del siglo XXI se enfrentan al gran reto de catalizar, intensificar y acelerar las transformaciones hacia un urbanismo sostenible.
