  Understanding the political feasibility of transition pathways is a key issue in energy transitions. Policy changes are a significant source of uncertainty in energy system optimisation modelling. Energy system models are nevertheless continuously being updated to reflect policy signals as realistically as possible. Using the concept of transition pathways as a starting point, this cross-disciplinary study combines energy system optimization modelling with political feasibility of different transition pathways. This combination generates insights into key political decision points in the ongoing energy transition. Resting on actor support structure and political feasibility of four main pathway categories (electrification, hydrogen, biomass, and energy efficiency), we identify critical model assumptions that are politically significant and impact model outcome. Then, by replacing the critical assumptions with technical limitations we model a scenario that is unrestrained by assumptions about policy, we identify areas where political choices are key to model outcomes. The combination of actor preferences and modelled energy system consequences enables the identification of future key decision points. We find that there is considerable support for electrification as the main pathway to net-zero. The implications of widespread electrification, in terms of energy production and grid capacity, lead us to identify challenging policy decisions with implications for the energy transition.

  This study investigates the understudied relationship between post-/pandemic mobility adaptations and wellbeing outcomes, drawing on a longitudinal mixed-method approach combining survey analyses and in-depth citizen interviews conducted between 2019 and 2022 in Oslo, Norway. Qualitative analyses explore the depth and diversity of pandemic mobility adaptations and the implications for hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing. Factor and structural equation models confirm statistical evidence for three pandemic coping strategies – working from home, avoiding spaces of infection, and (enjoyment of) the local environment – with respectively neutral, negative and positive impacts on satisfaction with life. The post-pandemic ability to be more mobile and attend diverse activities again is by many perceived as positive, but people struggle to maintain cherished aspects of the slower-paced, localised lifestyles adopted during the pandemic. We discuss the significance of our findings for inclusive pandemic resilience, and reflect on the lessons relevant for addressing another crisis – climate change.

  The circular economy (CE) has gained a prominent position in the broader literature, discourse, and policy arenas concerned with sustainable production and consumption. With roots in industrial ecology, the goal of CE is to shift away from linear ‘take-make-waste’ systems towards a regenerative system where resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimised by slowing, closing, and narrowing material and energy loops, achieved through long-lasting design, maintenance, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, refurbishing, and recycling. Household consumption plays a central role in a shift towards the CE, but the complexities of consumption in everyday life are often overlooked in CE research. This article employs a practice theoretical lens to analyse the ways in which circularity is integrated into everyday life, for what purposes and with what effects. The data material consists of qualitative interviews with residents, and municipal and voluntary actors in Asker, Norway. We find that circularity was integrated by means of excitement and mastery, practical solutions, or financial savings on particular occasions, but was not necessarily considered a significant contributor to sustainability, nor did it replace linear forms of consumption. Households carved out space for circularity that largely left spatial or temporal rhythms of everyday life, established social norms, relations, or embodied knowledge unchallenged. Rather, circularity was integrated to maintain, rationalize, or simplify existing practices while upholding the throughput of household goods and resources, or pursue goals that had little to do with reduced resource use, representing circular additions to existing linear systems.

  Energy system models provide us with scenarios for the future energy system, supporting our understanding of the impact of societal changes and adopted policies. To front-load the EU’Fit for 55’ package for 2030 and targets of replacing imported natural gas with renewable electricity, the Nordic countries could contribute by exporting additional electricity to mainland Europe. This paper describes a comparative study including five energy system models – GENeSYS-MOD, ON-TIMES, IFE-TIMES-Norway, highRES, and IntERACT, exploring two decarbonisation scenarios leading up to 2050. The scenarios involved simulating an additional 30 TWh electricity export requirement from 2030. Key findings include Denmark and Norway emerging as major net exporters, with Denmark covering over 60% of the additional export. The models predict that 76%–82% of the new electricity production will come from wind power, split between onshore and offshore installations, highlighting significant investment requirements. These results underscore the Nordic countries’ capacity to support the EU’s renewable energy targets, with wind power being pivotal. This research offers a broad overview over different modelling tools and their behaviour and provides critical insights for policymakers, stressing the need for coordinated Nordic efforts to maximise the benefits of increased electricity exports while ensuring energy system stability and cost-efficiency.

  We examine how trade union actors at various scales of organisation and influence have engaged in the just transition agenda in Norway. The Norwegian model of industrial relations represents a democratic and highly institutionalised system of social dialogue, and allows us to assess the extent to which a just transition agenda is anchored at different levels, from tripartite decision-making to representation in the workplace. By introducing two analytical devices, anchorage and climate target compliance, we encourage just transition scholars to critically examine how trade union strategies, institutional contexts and normative outcomes are related in complex and non-linear ways. As a petroleum-dependent economy with ambitious political targets to reduce greenhouse gas emission, the Norwegian case is illustrative of the potential for trade union actors to proactively engage in climate target compliance through its role in just transition initiatives. Based on qualitative data from complementary research projects, our analysis suggests that the ambitions of key actors remain disconnected from the experienced reality of those who represent unions in bargaining or at a local level. The concept of a just transition still lacks internal anchorage between and across levels and segments of these organisations, as members and their elected representatives generally struggle to detect a clear mandate related to environmental concerns or emission reductions. Despite promising reformulations of policies and agreements at a central level, there is still little indication that Norwegian trade unions play a decisive role in making Norway meet their climate targets.

  Background> One of the potential dimensions on which exclusion and injustice may occur in energy transitionsis age. Age-based patterns of exclusion—ageism—has recently been conceptualized in the context of decar-bonization as energy ageism. This paper offers a comparative empirical analysis of the senior citizens’ outlooktowards an imminent energy transition as well as the impact of energy poverty in two European countries: Norway and Poland. Results: Drawing on interviews and focus groups with Polish and Norwegian seniors, we present the differencesand similarities between the two countries, and the determinants of energy ageism, as well as the concept’s overallapplicability and empirical usefulness. We find that socioeconomic conditions outweigh ageism, that is, the resil-ience of senior citizens in dealing with energy poverty during a transition is conditioned by their material standingand welfare state robustness rather than age based. An important factor is household heating technology, combinedwith economic vulnerability can push some individuals into energy poverty, while others using alternative sourcesof heat can navigate through energy crises unscathed. Conclusions: We note the importance of mainstreaming social inclusion considerations in energy policy and of tar-geted digital competence building which can enhance senior citizen integration in the energy transition. Lowerlevels of digital competences among senior citizens certainly play a role and need to be addressed with educationprograms to increase participation. In both countries, household heating is a major issue and heating sources arestrong predictors of energy poverty and regulatory measures and subsidies should be designed at national, regional,and municipal level to assist vulnerable groups in this area.

  The notion of ‘just transition’ (JT) is an attempt to align climate and energy objectives with the material concerns of industrial workers, frontline communities, and marginalised groups. Despite the potential for fusing social and environmental justice, there is growing concern that the concept is being mobilised in practice as a form of ‘climate delayism’: a problem more ambiguous than open forms of denialism as it draws in multiple and conflictual agents, practices, and discourses. Using an historical materialist framework, attentive to both energy-capital and capital-labour relations, we show how JT is vulnerable to forces and relations of climate delay across both fossil capital and climate capital hegemonic projects. We review this through an engagement with the climate obstructionism literature and the theory of labour environmentalism: the political engagement of trade unionists and workers with environmental issues. As tensions within the labour movement surface amidst the unsettling of the carbon capital hegemony, we assess the degree to which (organised) labour—as an internally differentiated, contradictory movement—is participating in climate breakdown through a ‘praxis of delay’. Trade unions and industrial workers are often implicated in resisting or undermining transitions, but this is related significantly to their structural power relations vis a vis the fossil hegemony. Notably, JT negotiations are themselves structurally embedded within the carbon capital economy. The general preferences of trade unions for social over environmental justice might be prevalent but are neither universal nor inevitable; JT is open and contested political terrain, and labour-environmental struggles remain imperative for building just energy futures.

  Policies for shifting household electricity load are in focus in several countries, aimed at optimizing grid operation and tackling current and expected challenges from consumption patterns, like increased peak loads on the grid. Central here are recent developments in capacity charges, where the use of significant amounts of grid capacity is priced high, compared to the traditional pricing of electricity consumption. These capacity charges tend to be developed at the interface between system needs and incumbent actor influence from the sector on the one side, and arguments for a ‘just’ and consumer-oriented design, like simplicity and actual effect on behaviour, on the other. Comparing the consultation processes concerning policy design in Norway and Sweden, this study investigates if and how these capacity charge policies consider consumer perspectives and needs, and explores the implications for energy justice. The two countries have similar tariff models, but differing consumer considerations have become apparent. In both countries, the policy process has been dominated by sector incumbent actors; the consumer considerations that were included were weak, general, and not grounded in knowledge. Consumer representation has been low. In this study, we note the implications for recognition, procedural, and distributional justice. Our findings indicate the need for further development of balanced policy processes within the energy sector.

  Across Europe, negative public opinion has and may continue to limit the deployment of renewable energy infrastructure required for the transition to net-zero energy systems. Understanding public sentiment and its spatio-temporal variations is as such important for decision-making and for developing socially accepted energy systems. In this study, we apply a sentiment classification model based on a machine learning framework for natural language processing, NorBERT, on data collected from Twitter between 2006 and 2022 to analyse the case of wind power opposition in Norway. From the 68,828 tweets with geospatial information, we show how discussions about wind power intensified in 2018/2019 together with a trend of more negative tweets up until 2020, both on a regional level and for Norway as a whole. Furthermore, we find weak geographical clustering in our data, indicating that discussions are country wide and not dominated by specific regional events or developments. Twitter data allow for detailed insight into the temporal nature of public sentiments and extending this research to additional case studies of technologies, countries and sources of data (e.g. newspapers, other social media) may prove important to complement traditional survey research and the understanding of public sentiment.

  Access to clean electricity is fundamental for reducing the carbon footprint of industry, both for existing industrial operations and for producing new climate- and environmentally friendly goods and services. But the allocation of electricity as a limited resource hinges on institutional rules. In this article we examine how the process of electricity allocation impacts the establishment, growth and geographical location of new green industry firms. We examine how process impacts electricity access for green industrial firms in the context of Norway, a country with a seemingly well-functioning electricity grid sourced from renewable energy and clear political climate goals for greening industry. Through an exploratory study based on an extensive document review and in-depth qualitative interviews with key informants, we find that the management of the electrical grid, from the quantity of available electricity to the process by which firms access electricity, hinders green industry firms in accessing power. This is for three reasons: 1) regional variation in the absolute amount of available electricity; 2) unclear rules and queue systems for accessing the grid; and 3) a lengthy and potentially costly process for gaining access. These findings indicate that formal and informal rules determine the establishment of green industry firms in industrialized countries, and could hinder progress on climate goals.

  Urban transport plays a key role in reducing climate gas emissions. However, public policies are developed and implemented in an increasingly complex, fragmented, and multilevelled society. This chapter focuses on how interactive political leadership can address challenges related to spatial justice, network cooperation, and communication to increase legitimate and robust policies. Through in-depth case studies of the Norwegian urban regions of Trondheim and Nord-Jaeren, the importance of ensuring broad political alliances, handling spatial complexity, strong political leadership, as well as engaging in dialogue and communication with the public is shown. This may be more challenging to achieve in a complex institutional structure. We argue that governance structures reflect dynamics of the urban regions in which they are implemented. Related to our two empirical cases, the urban structure of Nord-Jaeren is more complex, compared to that of Trondheim, and likewise is their governance network. Linking the conditions of interactive political leadership to the three interconnected urban governance challenges, we see that contextual characteristics are important to explain differences in political leadership and public engagement.

  The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has reshuffled our daily routines and activity spaces. The home and its immediate environment have attained a critical role in coping with the confinement both as living, working and recreational space. Drawing on a longitudinal survey from greater Oslo, we analyze shifts in residential preferences amidst COVID-19. Given the pandemic induced movement restrictions, we pay special attention to the mediating role of perceived accessibility on the link between several sociodemographic/locational/housing characteristics on preference shifts. Amidst a drop in perceived accessibility, outdoor assets like gardens or balconies, and motility by car and public transport are amongst the residential and locational amenities that have gained most in people’s considerations for a new dwelling peri-pandemically. Dwelling satisfaction and preferences with regard to neighborhood density, dwelling size, and work-proximity, have remained largely unchanged despite a clear trend towards more teleworking. Our results can be understood as a nod of approval to contemporary compact urban planning. Nonetheless challenges as to bolstering its resilience still linger and more needs to be done to mitigate the inequalities in (perceived) access to in-home, near-home, and mobility assets that we have also observed to have (re)-immerged in the wake of the pandemic.

  Meat consumption and convenience food are both located at the heart of contemporary, industrialized, unhealthy and unsustainable food systems. In this article, we study the intersections between convenience food and ‘meatification’ of diets, focusing on the ‘pølse’—an umbrella term including both hotdogs and a range of sausages—as the epitome of convenience food in Norway. We explore how the pølse is embedded in Norwegian food practices, and why it is considered convenient in different contexts. In doing so, we seek to explain how pølse eating is co-shaped by socio-material scripting processes that further entrench meat in food practices and complicate meat-reduction efforts. The analysis is based on 52 in-depth household interviews and autophotography in four geographical contexts in Norway, in addition to 22 park interviews and survey data centering on household food and meat practices. We use a theoretical apparatus combining social practice theory, foodscapes and socio-material scripts to analyse the conveniencization of pølse. The articles demonstrates how meat consumption and convenience food become entwined in specific social practices, and how conveniencization intersects with practices of care, notions of class, social expectations and normativity. Moreover, we show that despite the range of plant-based ‘pølse’ substitutes on offer, meat-eaters remain skeptical to its taste, and substitutes rather seem to offer a way into established social occasions for non-meat eaters than a way out of meat eating.

  Public administrative action is crucial in facilitating sustainability transitions. Although organizational structures, cultures and established practices have been shown to lead to differing innovation results and technological diffusion at various levels of governance, little attention has been paid to the role of local government and administration in sustainable energy transitions. This study analyses renewable energy innovation at the local level of public administration in Norway. Drawing on the institutional and entrepreneurial literature, we examine the key formal decisions and organizational culture development that, combined with policy entrepreneurship, ultimately led to an unlikely and risky decision: to include a costly and unusual local energy system in the construction of a new secondary school. Tracing the administrative processes over 20 years, and drawing on document data supported by 14 interviews, we find that the strong and politically shielded administrative section, backed by a firm mandate and an established internal culture of innovation anchored in historic and local identity among the population and local industry, led to this decision. These factors were further facilitated by acts of policy entrepreneurship at crucial moments, shaping the underlying structures and institutional culture. The independence and strong direction of the administrative section can be emulated in other contexts in order to facilitate innovation. With suitable adaptations to other contexts, our findings may help to accelerate energy transitions through system innovations elsewhere.

  The number of political jurisdictions introducing climate change acts (CCAs) has grown in recent years. As framework legislation, CCAs seek to exert anchoring effects on climate policy development by establishing general goals, principles and obligations that subsequent policies to reduce emissions must uphold. Despite expansive research on the negotiation of CCAs, limited analysis exists of factors shaping their anchoring effect or how tensions aligning other climate policies with CCA requirements are managed. This article addresses this by utilizing Kingdon’s multiple streams framework to analyze the negotiation of the Irish Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021, a CCA with contentious provisions for sectoral emissions ceilings. It examines how political agreement was secured on the need for stronger climate action (problem stream), the concept of the Act (policy stream), and individual provisions (political stream). The analysis nevertheless indicates that different interpretations of ‘the problem’ emerged in discussions on the impacts of sector emissions ceilings and carbon taxation. Consensus in the political stream equally proved challenging where representatives used the Act’s provisions to question other parties’ commitments to climate action, just transition and procedural fairness. The article highlights two broader considerations for the anchoring effect of CCAs: the importance of maintaining a consistent focus on climate change to prevent problems with policies to address climate change from dominating CCA debates; and whether to restrict CCAs to general principles that diminish their anchoring effect compared with incorporating detailed obligations that may increase political tensions over the CCA and future policies.

  Many new concepts have emerged to better capture socio-technical change in energy systems from a normative perspective. Two of the most visible, popularized, and politically charged are Energy Justice and Energy Democracy, but it is the tension between them that has drawn recent controversy. Instead of arguing for the superiority of one over the other, this paper's aim is to demonstrate their differential contribution and areas of productive overlap using both quantitative and qualitative measures. It presents the results of the systematic review of 495 articles on Energy Democracy and Energy Justice in the Web of Science database, with attention to the geographical focus, scale, technology, and social groups dominant in both literatures. We find that both the concepts and literatures employing them are very closely related, almost like twins. The key difference is the failure of the Energy Democracy literature to engage with questions of energy poverty and distributional (in)justice. For Energy Justice, we find that despite lip service paid to, for example, the Global South, normative research in energy transitions sphere remains highly Western-centric. We highlight, too, that both terms are most often used as buzzwords and that this undermines knowledge building and the radical potential for change which is inherent in the two concepts and their applications.

  Current meat consumption trends are associated with extensive resource use, environmental degradation, and detrimental effects on animal and human health, making meat reduction a core sustainability target. The experiences of meat reducers, often conceptualised as flexitarians, have gradually attracted more academic attention. This literature has shown that in many cases meat reducers do not radically reduce their meat intake and have untangled a complex web of factors contributing to meat consumption, reduction and avoidance. This article contributes to a nuanced understanding of the experiences, approaches and challenges faced by meat reducers. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with 26 self-declared meat reducers in Norway. By framing consumption as embedded in social practices, this article highlights how broader cultural, social and material conditions structure eating and hence meat consumption. A central finding is that through processes of socialisation and habituation, performances of eating often conform to the prevailing conventions inscribed in the socio-material environment in which they are embedded. We thus question the popular depictions of individuals as efficient drivers of dietary changes and highlight the many factors involved in reproducing the ‘normalness’ of meat-intense diets, demonstrating how individual intentions, choices and habits are themselves rooted in, and circumscribed by, prevailing conventions, that is, practices.

  Global investment in offshore wind energy is anticipated to surge in the coming decades. While improved technology, reduced costs, and generous policy support are frequently acknowledged as driving factors, many assert that there are fewer societal challenges with offshore renewable installations than with onshore ones. Drawing from a co-creation process with key Norwegian stakeholders and an interdisciplinary team of social science and humanities scholars, this article delves deeper than the prevalent techno-economic discourse. It seeks to: a) identify the societal challenges of fostering a just and legitimate offshore wind industry; b) explore solutions to these challenges; and c) understand the potential role of transdisciplinary action research in driving change. Through this collaboration, industry actors co-formulated an agenda for offshore wind, highlighting varied issues and concerns. This was operationalized into four primary societal challenges: 1) Navigating the public debate; 2) Improving public participation; 3) Minimizing land and sea use and co-existence conflicts, and 4) Understanding pace, political dynamics, and geopolitics. This paper offers an exhaustive discussion on possible strategies to tackle these issues, presenting a critical companion research agenda to the predominantly technology-focused studies on offshore wind within the sustainability transitions literature.

  Excessive meat consumption is associated with environmental, ethical and public health concerns. Substituting meat with plant-based alternatives has been located as a key strategy for consumers to reduce their meat intake. While a growing body of research seeks to measure consumers’ acceptance of substitute foods, less attention has been paid to how meat substitution is organised through everyday practices. Based on 50 interviews with consumers with varying levels of meat consumption in Norway, this paper explores how substitution is accomplished in everyday life, and how substitutes are leveraged in the project of meat reduction. A theoretical framework connecting theories of social practice and food qualification allowed investigating substitution as a contextually contingent process rather than the outcome of a simple product swap. The paper finds that many participants were open to the idea of meat substitution, and meatless meals could be acceptable and often desirable. However, substitution was complicated by a prevalent scepticism towards prefabricated substitute products and lacking competence to provide home-cooked alternatives fulfilling expectations in established food practices. The paper argues that ‘qualifying’ foods as substitutes depends on a range of factors beyond the material reconstruction of meatiness present in prefabricated products, problematising the idea of substitution as a straightforward strategy for meat reduction so long as consumers are motivated and/or have access to plant-based options. Shifting consumption from meat to plant-based alternatives require fundamental changes in the organisation of food environments and eating practices beyond measures targeting consumer attitudes or increasing the availability of convenient substitute products.

  There is increasing evidence that the energy transition incorporates new types of inequalities for different types of energy consumers. In many places, detached dwellings are highly overrepresented among the building types with solar PV installed. Based on document analysis and high-level interviews, this article analyses the policy mix for rooftop solar energy in Norway through an energy justice lens, focusing on multi-apartment buildings and housing cooperatives. Such cooperatives resemble both a Renewable Energy Community and a Citizen Energy Community as defined in the EU's ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’-package. We identify several energy injustices in the solar PV policy mix, which effectively impede residents in multi-apartment buildings from collectively producing their own electricity. As a result, very few multi-apartment buildings and housing cooperatives produce their own electricity. Most importantly, current regulations add electricity taxes, grid fees and VAT to the collectively self-consumed electricity as soon as it enters each individual dwelling. By contrast, detached households are allowed to practise hourly net-metering, thereby consuming their self-produced electricity behind the meter without any additional taxes or fees. Finally, our findings show that perceptions of a ‘fair’ policy mix vary considerably, and that equal rules affect various groups of residents differently.

  Cities are in transition towards more sustainable mobilities, and many city cores are beyond peak car. However, the suburbs are still largely car based. Although planning principles for compact centres and transit-oriented development have been prevalent since the early nineties, there has been little progress towards more sustainable suburban mobility. This is also the case for the Greater Oslo region. To understand this implementation gap, we have investigated the adoption of the overarching principles of land use and transport planning, as represented in the regional plan for Greater Oslo. In two suburban municipalities, we have focused on key actors in local planning, who are crucial for the implementation of planning principles and strategies to achieve change. We find that the sustainability principles focusing on densification around public transport nodes and in suburban centres are supported. However, essential aspects of social sustainability in the growing suburban towns, have largely been left out. Drawing on the reflexive turn in policies and planning, we argue that this implementation deficit is an unintentional consequence of a too narrow disciplinary spatial planning approach. The implementation of sustainable planning principles requires a broader knowledge base, including the social sciences, in order to take into account peoples’ preferences and practices.

  Poland is known for its history of climate skepticism and denial throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Despite its recent rapid deployment of renewable energy sources, Poland remains Europe’s most coal-dependent economy. Since the country’s accession to the EU in 2004, consecutive governments in Warsaw have been “pulling the brake” on the EU’s more ambitious climate policy initiatives and decarbonization targets. However, there are signs of changing societal attitudes, especially since 2018. Despite this trend, the country is alone among EU nations in not committing to a net-zero emissions target or a coal power phase-out date. As this chapter will describe, this situation has been created and perpetuated by a dominant coalition of governmental institutions, agencies, state-owned energy companies, and utilities that constitute a “governmental-industrial complex” (GIC). While there has been a shift in discourse and policy emanating from the GIC, it continues to promote “silver bullets” in the form of promising future technologies such as “clean” coal and unrealistic plans for new nuclear power plants. Poland’s stated commitment to a just (and gradual) energy transition is another of these “climate imposter” tactics, which the chapter will show are part of an overarching strategy of delay.

  The notion of ‘just transition’ is an attempt to align abstract climate and energy objectives with the material concerns of industrial workers, frontline communities and marginalised groups. However, despite the potential for fusing social and environmental justice, there is growing concern that the concept is being mobilised as a form of ‘climate delayism’: a more ambiguous problem than open forms of denialism as it draws in multiple and conflictual agents, practices and discourses. We address this matter through the lens of labour environmentalism, the political engagement of trade unionists and workers with environmental issues. As tensions within the labour movement surface amidst the unsettling of the carbon capital hegemony, we assess the degree to which (organised) labour - as an internally differentiated, contradictory movement – is participating in the reproduction of climate breakdown through a ‘praxis of delay’, and, in contrast, the ways in which labour environmentalism can be leveraged for socioecological change

  With the decline of open climate denialism – is delay the new denial? We are witnessing a shift in the climate policy debate. Many actors opposed to ambitious climate policy no longer deny the seriousness of the issue, or the cause of it. Instead, they often advocate a delayed ‘just’ energy transition avoiding societal and economic change now, moving it rather to an unspecified future. Such strategies can include advocating a cautious approach dependent on future technological advances that avoid societal and economic change in the present. A broad consensus over pursuing a ‘Just Transition’ to ‘Net Zero’ hides significant contestation, including between those advocating ambitious climate strategy and those opposing it, either outright or through a strategy of delayed policy and delayed policy implementations. This panel welcomes contributions exploring practices of climate obstruction and delayism in different regions and sectors.

  Jeg er på vei ut fra en blokk på Sinsen hvor jeg akkurat har fullført et av mine første intervjuer til prosjektet mitt. Intervjuet var med en arkitekt i 20-års alderen, og vi pratet om strømbruken i husholdningen; fra temperatur i rommene til vaner rundt bruk av oppvaskmaskin. Underveis i intervjuet slo det meg at de rutinene, opplevelsene og forholdet til strømbruk som denne personen uttrykte, var svært ulikt fra intervjuobjektene mine som bodde i enebolig. Kanskje ikke et eureka-øyeblikk, men det var fra den dagen jeg begynte å gruble over hvordan – og hvorfor – stedet man bor i så stor grad påvirker folks strømrutiner. Ikke minst, i kontekst av prosjektet mitt, hva bosted har å si for fordeling av ressurser. I tiden framover skal det norske samfunnet gjennomgå en hyppig elektrifisering som vil ha konsekvenser for oss som sluttbrukere – er ‘vinnerne’ og ‘taperne’ av denne energiomstillingen bosatt i ulike hustyper?

  A change from incremental to a more fundamental transformation is needed in climate transition in transport. This paper aims to clarify the knowledge gab in just climate transition of urban mobility, seen from a practitioner’s point of view. I will start to explain where we are coming from in Oslo. Oslo’s climate policies are ambitious. In 2030 Oslo want to be a city with almost no emissions of greenhouse gases. To succeed with transition Oslo has developed a climate budget, and direct climate gas emissions are reduced by 30 percent from 2009 to 2021. A successful prioritizing of public transport and ambitious work on electrification of vehicles have been an important part of these policies. At the same time, these policies are disputed, and maybe particularly disputed when it comes to urban mobilities. Mobilities effects everyone, which makes policies concrete everyone’s in daily lives. Whereas the need for a just transition has been on the political agenda in recent years, and emphasised by IPCC (IPPC 2022:D3) . There is not enough research focusing on the social and cultural changes required to shift to emission-free mobility (Sheller 2018: 84). Different aspects of mobility and associated policies may be described quantitatively, but these explanations do not provide insights into people’s experiences and different transport policies (Røe 2000). The paper aims to clarify the knowledge gab in what we know and what we need to know in the just transition of urban mobility, and my PhD thesis aims to address this shortfall.

  Energy transitions are contested and research on the politics of transitions has recently received more attention. Political intervention has historically been a crucial part of all major transitions, both in inducing them as well as in managing the social consequences and pathway directions, thus emphasising the role of policy and politics in energy transitions. Analysing political feasibility therefore is an important aspect of understanding the scope of possible energy transition pathways. This paper reviews theory on political feasibility in energy transitions, develops a pragmatic analytical framework to analyse energy transition political feasibility, and suggests some ways forward for practical analysis guided by the example of Norway. While a high number of factors will influence transition pathway political feasibility, a key assumption here is that interest structures are the main influence factor behind the direction and shape of a transition pathway. The paper takes a starting point in the observation that policymakers will usually adopt or implement policies that align with the interest of important stakeholders. If an energy transition pathway receives significant and tangible support over time, it is likely to see positive feedbacks, where investments in and ownership of established infrastructures, R&D, competence, and political alliances become stronger over time. While future interest coalitions are difficult to predict, contemporary interest coalitions are likely to give some indications of future directions. Based on the imperfect insight that actors in a regime tend to shape policy to their own interests we can assume that future pathway direction generally will align with the main interest structures in the energy sectors. The analytical framework develops two main dimensions for analysing the political feasibility of energy-transition pathways: structural conditions, and dynamic domestic politics. Structural conditions represent far-reaching and slow-changing influences that typically includes economic, political, and sociocultural conditions to affect policy development. Adoption and design of a particular policy or pathway are heavily influenced by the alignment with such structural interests or ‘national characteristics’. Following the structural dimension, the pathway with a better fit with structural interests is more politically feasible. Dynamic domestic politics, on the other hand, represents a shorter-term rational-actor-based perspective, where the influence of stakeholders on policy-decisions is deemed crucial to policy outcomes. Interest groups are central to the adoption of policy, which is unlikely to succeed without the support of a winning coalition. Here, the pathway with the most supporters is more politically feasible. The combination of structural interests that align (or not) with decarbonisation strategies, and dynamic interests providing a more short-term and fluctuating perspective on political feasibility, enable a simple, practical analysis of political feasibility. Resting on a literature review the paper develops the political feasibility framework. Using the case of energy transition in Norway as an illustrative example anchors the framework to empirical observations. As Norway’s main decarbonisation strategy is electrification, with growing challenges of its already fully renewable electricity sector, the case is useful for illuminating the use of the framework for analysing also other national contexts.

  The climate crisis has profound effects on the world of work. We are constantly reminded of this through media: Whose jobs are at risk in an energy transition? Can renewable energy systems provide decent work for the many? But transition processes affect us all at work in ways that are more mundane, but also more all-encompassing, than the prospects of job loss and job creation. As we all need to change our work practices, an important question is how we can have a say in climate action happening in the workplace. This talk aims to concretise this “greening work” agenda by discussing local worker participation in decarbonisation processes can happen in municipalities. As municipalities are among the most significant employers in many local communities, the ability of the municipal organisation to include their employees in inclusive and participatory climate action has transformative potential. In concrete terms, this would entail opening up decision-making around emissions from building, travel activities, labour processes, investment, procurement and consumption for cooperation, participation or even negotiation with the employees of the municipal organization. In Norway, several trade unions signalled their intent to broaden the scope of collective bargaining and industrial relations to include matters of energy consumption and emissions in the run-up to the 2020 centralised bargaining round. While the outbreak of covid-19 forced a postponement of these negotiations, the issues and the agenda will not go away. Moreover, municipal sector representatives on both sides of the table have strengthened a formulation in their Main Agreement (Hovedavtalen mellom KS og forhandlingspartene), explicitly stating that measures to strengthen the Sustainable Development Goals on climate sustainability should be included in the local collaboration between employers and employee representatives. What these written intentions mean in practice in each municipality remains an open question, however. Building on participation in dialogue meetings with representatives from unions and employer associations, the talk presents some experiences and suggests some potential ways forward in the Norwegian municipal sector. By drawing on parallel research in the Norwegian petroleum industry, some observations about the actual and potential roles of union shop stewards in “greening work” will serve as concluding remarks.

  Researching socio-spatial inclusiveness of urban densification strategies – using spatial capital as a theoretical conceptualisation To combat environmental problems and to regulate urban sprawl, low carbon policies are focusing on compact cities, where residents live in higher densities to counter automobile dependency. One of these policies is the densification around public transport hubs and multifunctional urban centres, to promote sustainable mobility practices (i.e. walking, cycling and public transport ridership). Together with an increasing trend of people moving towards (central parts of) the city, this enhances the attractiveness of urban areas and increases housing prices especially in the centrally located and highly accessible parts of city regions, potentially leading to processes of gentrification. Such spaces have become a scarce ‘good’. An increasingly relevant question is whether these developments are socially inclusive, and what kind of socio-spatial consequences this has for the diversity of socio-economic groups living in urban spaces. In this paper I explore how the concept of spatial capital (Rérat 2018; 2011), which refers to the mastery or command of spatial aspects of life (inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s theories on capital), may be applied to develop a research design and to study socio-spatial accessibility and inequality in city regions, resulting from compact city and transit-oriented strategies. How may questions about socio-spatial inequalities and justice be addressed through the concept of spatial capital, and how may this conceptualization be operationalized and applied in empirical research.

  Background and motivation The Include research conference in Durham 14th-15th September is entitled Climate Emergency! Energy Crisis! A symposium on responsibility, inclusion and place-based action. In connection with this, on the second day of the conference, we are organising an exclusive workshop for selected PhD students within Include, as well as for external students working with related themes. The goal is to share and discuss theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects related to the study of socially inclusive and just transitions, so as to inspire each student in their work. Based on the outcome of the workshop and students’ own motivation, we are also proposing that the group considers the production of a perspective article. Three guiding themes/questions for the workshop (1) How to define and measure justice in a time of crisis? How does research on different sectors employ the notion, and what are the challenges when applying justice in empirical work? (2) What wider issues (e.g., structural inequalities) may be lost out of sight as we study justice aspects related to specific policies and interventions? (How to we systematically consider knock-on justice risks and benefits between projects) (3) How do we understand the potential merit of increased ‘inclusion’ in light of questions 1 and 2?

  Although the market share for plant-based meat substitutes is growing, little is known about how these novel protein foods are implemented in consumption patterns. This paper explores the role of plant-based substitutes in shifting consumption away from animal protein in Norwegian consumers’ diets and food practices. Through interviews with householders in four geographical regions (N=50) and urban park grillers (N=21) in Norway, this paper investigates how substitutes are embedded in the food practices of a diverse group of consumers – from meat lovers to meat avoiders. In so doing, the paper builds on previous works theorizing how meat substitution is achieved and how novel foods become constructed as (in)edible and (un)desirable, ultimately (dis)qualifying as replacers. By framing ‘meat substitution’ as a social practice involving several elements beyond the changing materiality of foodstuffs, this paper shows how the process of shifting consumption from animal to plant-based proteins requires broad changes in habits, traditions, social relations, and geographies surrounding food and eating practices.

• Volden, Johannes (2022). Tomorrow’s foods, today’s practice? Visceral encounters with alternative proteins in everyday life. Vis sammendrag

  Alternative proteins such as plant-based meat substitutes and edible insects are often proposed as sustainable solutions to conventional meat consumption. The envisioned ‘successes’ of such novel foods is often hypothesized based on quantitative measures of consumers’ attitudes and levels of acceptance, or sensorial interventions in the controlled settings of a virtual or laboratory space. Tasting sessions can be a form of ‘visceral witnessing’ (Sexton et al. 2022) in the encounter with new foods, but they obfuscate the socio-material, cultural, and tempo-spatial contexts of consumption in the relational foodscapes of daily life. Drawing on social practice theories of eating and recent scholarship on the visceral and embodied geographies of food, this paper investigates how established food practices are disrupted, reinforced, and transformed with the emergence of alternative proteins in Norwegian consumers’ daily lives. Applying an innovative qualitative methodology structured around informants’ self-experiments with plant- and insect-based protein foods, the paper searches for the ‘quotidian stories’ (Goodman 2015) of these novel foods, attending to the embodied character of their consumption. By bringing food experimentation outside of the laboratory setting, the study illuminates how alternative proteins become constructed as in/edible in everyday discourse and practice beyond existing attitudinal accounts.

  Deling, gjenbruk og sirkulærøkonomi fremstilles ofte som motsvaret til klimafiendtlig overforbruk, og selges inn av både grønnnfluensere såvel som de store butikkjedene. Men er dette egentlig bare merkevarebygging basert på ideer som lover mer enn de holder? Blir vi mer bærekraftige av å reparere, kjøpe brukt og låne, mens vi samtidig forbruker mer enn noen gang? Hva er poenget med å fikse gamle ting, når vi samtidig kjøper nye? Er det sånn at vi deler og gjenbruker oss til en falsk god samvittighet? Og hvilken pris betaler egentlig klima, natur og mennesker for forbruket vårt?

  Start dagen i Klimahuset med påfyll av kunnskap, mat og drikke. Denne torsdagen har vi invitert forsker Ulrikke Bryn Wethal fra Senter for utvikling og miljø. Hun forsker blant annet på forbruk og bærekraft, og akkurat nå på i hvilken grad og på hvilke måter Covid-19-pandemien har påvirket, forsterket eller endret våre rutiner og vaner knyttet til reise, mat og fritid. Hun ser både på endringer som var direkte konsekvens av myndighetenes tiltak, men også hva som forblir endret etter hvert som samfunnet gjenåpnes og etter at pandemien tar slutt. Har vi endret oss? Og i så fall hvordan?

  Denne rapporten inngår som en del av forskningsprosjektet “Grønt partssamarbeid” i arbeidspakken “Kommunen som endringsaktør” ved Include – forskningssenter for sosialt inkluderende energiomstilling. Rapporten er et resultat av et samarbeid mellom forskere ved Universitetet i Oslo, Utdanningsforbundet, NITO, Fagforbundet og KS og undersøker utvalgte kommuners klimaarbeid, særlig knyttet til graden av medvirkning og partssamarbeid i innføringen av klima- og miljøtiltak på kommune- og virksomhetsnivå. Bakgrunnen for notatet er et ønske blant prosjektets samarbeidspartnere om å undersøke og løfte frem eksempler på hvordan klima- og miljøtiltak kan drøftes i det kommunale partssamarbeidet, i samsvar med formålsparagrafen i Hovedavtalen mellom KS og forhandlingssammenslutningene. Partene gjør det her klart at de er enige om at klima- og miljøtiltak som fremmer bærekraftsmålene, inngår som en del av partssamarbeidet.

  Rapporten oppsummerer funn fra kvalitative undersøkelser knyttet til kunders oppfatninger om ny nettleiemodell for strøm i Norge. Samlet viser resultatene at mange av kundene har en viss grad av bekymring for at den nye nettleien kan få uheldige og urettferdige fordelingsvirkninger. Kundene tar hensyn til faktorer (f.eks. husholdningssammensetning) som ligger utenfor nettselskapenes nåværende mandat å inkludere i tariffberegninger. Kundenes uttrykte bekymringer taler for gradvise endringer i nettariffer framover, framfor omfattende endringer som vil kunne gi store utslag som mange vil oppfatte som urimelige.

  I Norge ble en ny modell for beregning av nettleie innført 1. juli 2022. Formålet med den nye nettleien er å motivere husholdninger til å fordele strømforbruket jevnere utover døgnet. På tidspunktet hvor den nye nettleien ble planlagt innført var det liten kunnskap om virkninger av slike virkemidler på forbrukere. Flexeffect-prosjektet startet har undersøkt virkninger virkemidler for fleksibel strømbruk på forskjellige husholdningsgrupper. Resultatene viser at mange av forbrukerne forstår og er enige med formålet for ny nettleie. Samtidig gjør utformingen det vanskelig å forstå og tilpasse seg i hverdagslivet og det er konkurrerende signaler og hensyn de må ta. Videre har mange uttrykt bekymring for at den nye nettleien kan få uheldige og urettferdige fordelingsvirkninger. Våre funn viser også at det er krevende for forbrukere å ta i bruk ny teknologi for å øke forbrukerfleksibiliteten. Selv om forbrukerhensyn er nevnt i den politiske prosessen for å innføre ny nettleie er forbrukerne svakt representert i utformingen og forbrukerhensynene som inngår i konsultasjonene har en tendens til å være generelle. Dimensjoner som systembehov er blitt mer vektlagt enn forbrukerbehov og ikke minst forbrukeres evne til tilpasning.

  Byvekstavtalene i de fire store byene bygger på målet om nullvekst i personbiltransport. Dersom en skal nå dette framover, krever det skjerpet virkemiddelbruk. Vi har undersøkt hva som kjennetegner arbeidet med porteføljestyring i de ulike byvekstavtalene, i hvilken grad en legger vekt på kostnadseffektivitet og måloppnåelse, om virkemiddelbruken er helhetlig og betydningen av hvordan samarbeidet er organisert. Det gjøres i liten grad reell porteføljestyring mellom ulike prosjekter. Porteføljene av prosjekter er preget av tidligere føringer fra bypakkene, og hensynet til fordeling mellom kommunene i hvert byområde veier tungt. Det er et potensial for å i større grad bruke lokale virkemidler som arealpolitikk, parkering og bompenger til å bidra til nullvekst. Samtidig er det variasjoner mellom byområdene. Det er lite vektlegging av kostnadseffektivitet, måloppnåelse og samfunnsøkonomisk lønnsomhet for de enkelte prosjektene. Jevnlig reforhandling av avtalene kan gi sterkere insentiver til reell porteføljestyring og oppfølging med lokale virkemidler. Det kan også være behov for et mer oppdatert kunnskapsgrunnlag for prioriteringer og virkemiddelbruk.

  Dette notatet oppsummerer en serie workshoper som ble organisert våren 2022 av FME-sentrene NTRANS, CINELDI, ZEN, HighEFF, Include, NorthWind og HydroCEN, sammen med NTVA og DNVA. Ved noen workshoper ble flere partnere invitert inn på arrangørsiden. Bakgrunnen for workshopene var en lengre periode med svært høye energipriser i Europa, som forplantet seg til høye strømpriser i Norge og store prisforskjeller mellom regioner. Målet med seminarserien var å diskutere og systematisere det tverrfaglige faktaunderlaget som forskningsmiljøene har utviklet innenfor tematikken. Med tanke på tidsperspektivet så vi at dette kunne gjøres som en serie seminarer/workshops med avgrenset tematikk. Konklusjonene oppsummeres i denne rapporten, som trekker sammen læring og syntese på tvers av workshopene
