TL;DR: In this article, a detailed historical case study of the transition from surface water to piped water and personal hygiene (1870-1930) is used to analyse how these changes influenced each other in a co-evolution process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe insights from a complementary socio-technical approach that addresses the interdependent social, political, cultural, and technical processes of transitions, and articulates four lessons for managing low-carbon transitions.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual review article provides a critical appraisal of sustainable consumption and production research, which is currently framed by two generic positions: reformist and revolutionary, which advocates the abolishment of capitalism, materialism and consumerism, and promotes values such as frugality, sufficiency and localism.

TL;DR: It is suggested that integrated assessment model-based analysis should be complemented with insights from socio-technical transition analysis and practice-based action research, and that bridging, based on sequential and interactive articulation of different approaches, may generate a more comprehensive and useful chain of assessments to support policy formation and action.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the socio-technical transition literature, particularly the Multi-Level Perspective, which investigates the fundamental changes in (energy, transport, housing, agro-food) systems that are needed to address persistent sustainability problems.
