    Book description

    Sustainability transitions are crucial for addressing our most urgent environmental and societal challenges. This volume offers a clear and accessible introduction to key concepts, theories, and approaches to this rapidly evolving field. Readers will gain insights into the foundational approaches to sustainability transitions research, as well into the impact of power dynamics, politics, diverse actors, and geography on how transitions develop and unfold. Bringing together contributions from over sixty leading and up-and-coming scholars, this volume bridges disciplinary boundaries to examine how sustainable systems emerge and evolve. Designed for both newcomers and experienced professionals, this book serves as a foundational reference for understanding sustainability transitions and navigating the complexities of large-scale transformation. It is essential reading for advanced students and researchers working in sustainability transitions, as well as educators, sustainability policymakers, and practitioners. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
