EU Decarbonisation in Times of Crises: Exploring Social Innovations and Enhancing an Equitable Twin Transition

DeCrises addresses the complex challenges of the European Union (EU)'s twin transition that is reshaping society, the economy, and infrastructure at every level of governance. Through four case studies from the EU and European Economic Area, our primary goal is to pinpoint the gaps in the existing Multilevel Governance (MLG) framework guiding the twin transition and propose solutions that pave the way for an equitable transition.  While the EU committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, recent global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, have added complexity to the twin transition. This underscores the importance of cross-border collaboration and coordinated strategies at various levels of governance. DeCrises focuses on five objectives: To conceptualise a bottom-up MLG framework to foster citizen participation and stimulate social innovation and collaboration for an inclusive twin transition; To develop a robust MLG implementation strategy to translate the vision of a just twin transition across all levels of governance within the EU; To develop an understanding of community-led social innovations as drivers of twin transition and their role in MLG processes; To identify strategies to enhance regional and intra-regional collaboration and resilience; To facilitate and establish channels of collaboration and knowledge exchange between a diverse set of actors and explore ways to enhance policy instruments at various levels of governance. Transitioning to a green future requires significant changes to institutions historically tied to fossil fuels and limited levels of digitalisation. We focus on a shift from top-down decision-making to a more inclusive, democratic approach involving various levels of governance, including governments, businesses, and civil society. Our project provides comprehensive policy recommendations for improvement of MLG to strengthen democratic governance in the EU and ensure a just twin transition.

Sustaining Public Administration in Modern Democracies

The “Sustaining Public Administration in Modern Democracies“ (SUPA) Consortium originates from the observation that public administrations in advanced democracies are increasingly overburdened. Administrative overburdening arises from a continuous increase in the number of rules that require implementation and the relative stagnation in administrative capacities. This discrepancy between the rules up for implementation and the administrative resources available results in suboptimal policy outcomes, low-quality public services, and inconsistent implementation practices. In view of this assessment, it is the central objective of SUPA to examine strategies for enhancing the capabilities of the public sector to cope with the escalating challenges of administrative overburdening. To this end, SUPA pursues two interrelated objectives: The first one is to examine how decision-making procedures and practices can be improved to limit the overall burdens placed on the administration. The second goal is to explore how administrative structures can be reformed to manage ongoing rule growth effectively. SUPA examines patterns of rule growth and the resulting administrative changes and challenges in six European States (Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands) and the European Union. Based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, SUPA (1) evaluates the effectiveness of so-called "rule-offsetting" schemes; (2) investigates how legislators can embed legal design principles to prevent unintended rule growth cascades; (3) assesses how policy growth affects the underlying administrative structures; and (4) examines citizens' experience and operational challenges linked to different ways of distributing implementation burdens across public authorities. SUPA has formed collaboration agreements with multiple public authorities, ensuring that the Consortium's findings can be directly transferred to both policy-makers and administrators in the field.

Political and community engagement, trust and identity among European adolescents and emerging adults

The project will develop and validate measures on adolescents’ and emerging adults’ social, cultural and political identity, their sense of belongingness in different groups, their participation in physical and online communities, their interest in democratic participation and their trust in democratic institutions. The measures will be used to explore and understand 13- and 15-year olds’ political and community engagement in almost all countries in Europe through the survey “Health Behaviour in School-aged Children. A WHO-Collaborative Study” as well as emerging adults turned 18 years of age. Further, qualitative information on adolescents’ and emerging adults’ perspectives of what is political and community engagement to them and how to they act on or communicate their perspectives on key societal issues will be collected and analysed. The project will also identify formal and informal structures for youth democratic participation in a selected number of countries. A key focus here will be to explore adolescents’ and young adults’ participation in communities on social media platforms to learn where and how they communicate their political and community engagement. Finally, the project will develop policy initiatives with adolescents and emerging adults and policy makers using the Co-Create Dialogue Forum tool, including piloting of strategies in Living Labs. Marginalized groups will be given particular emphasis in the analyses to identify need for specific focus in policy development strategies.

Integrating Diversity in Social Dialogue: Strengthening the EU's Labour Market in the Digital and Green Age

INTEGRATE-DIALOGUE aims to enhance the inclusiveness of social dialogue in the EU, United Kingdom and Norway, focusing on non-standard workers (NSWs). It addresses the need for their effective representation in the evolving labour market, marked by digital and green transitions, to prevent an increase in inequality, in-work poverty, and social exclusion. The project proposes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and comparative approach encompassing multiple countries, business models, various forms of NSWs, and social dialogue at different levels.   The novelty of the initiative is to place NSWs needs, interests and motivations for representation and voice in the spotlight (bottom-up perspective). These findings will be matched by strategies, willingness and distributional costs among social partners to include NSWs in social dialogue processes, and how this is played out in different Industrial Relations and employment regimes (top-down approach). To investigate barriers and facilitators for integrating NSWs into social dialogue, we combine a social science and legal approach. Stakeholder engagement will be used to offer actionable insights and recommendations for policymakers, social partners, and other stakeholders.   Through extensive dissemination activities, including developing an Open Policy Toolbox, we will make social partners able to adjust strategies, and bridge gaps between NSWs and social partner. The ultimate goal is to create a cohesive, effective, and legally robust environment that supports an inclusive and adaptive social dialogue framework, ensuring that all workers are effectively represented and their interests safeguarded in the face of rapid market transformations. The project comprises distinguished scholars located in eight European countries, representing various Industrial Relations and employment regimes. These scholars possesses extensive experience researching non-standard workers and social dialogue, both nationally and comparatively.

Rethinking Co-creation of Digital and Environmental Policy in Systems of Multilevel Governance

Rethinking Co-creation of Digital and Environmental Policy in Systems of Multilevel Governance (RECODE MLG) is a proposal for Horizon Europe on Multilevel governance in times of Digital and Climate Transitions. Our overarching goal is to promote a just, inclusive and democratic transition to a sustainable and digital future by showing how this ‘twin transition’ can be governed effectively within the EU multilevel governance (MLG) system. The project investigates co-creation as a process that can precisely achieve this objective, by proactively involving multiple actors - including policymakers, stakeholders, citizens and volunteers - in a collaborative endeavour, to identify both problems and solutions related to the twin transition. RECODE MLG brings together leading experts on MLG, sustainability politics, digitalisation, co-creation, democratic theory and deliberative innovation with civil society, industry stakeholders and policymaking representatives. It assesses governance structures at three critical sites of twin transition and designs and implements four co-creation labs in order to advance state-of-the-art and produce policy recommendations and a practical ‘tool-kit’ to support inclusive policymaking on twin transition in MLG.

Contentious Politics and Democratic Renewal in Sustainability Transitions

Trans4Demo is an evidence-based and impact-driven set of actions to address contentious politics arising from climate change and sustainable transitions. These conflicts are seen as a critical challenge for democratic systems, and their importance is expected to grow in the future. Authoritarian tendencies and right-wing populism have weakened social cohesion, making large parts of EU populations less willing to change their practices and hindering responses to climate challenges.  The main objective of the project is to investigate the role and evolution of diverse forms of opposition and contentious politics of sustainability transitions, and their impact on democracy. We aim at delivering the temporality-sensitive conceptual framework, practical understandings, and policy recommendations to assist in democracy reinvigoration. By exploring these intersections, we identify specific scientific, consensus-based, and politically normative goals that political communities in diverse European contexts could pursue. Empirically, throughout the project, we will (1) focus on practical understandings of the role of various bottom-up mobilizations against the populist backdrop, (2) identify novel sites of constructive democratic engagement, and (3) address the role of trust in the democratic process, including the validity of electoral processes. Building on this, (4) we will provide sound, research-based policy recommendations that balance bottom-up and top-down perspectives for democratic renewal.  To achieve these targets, we will employ triangulated and participatory methodologies, including case studies and future-oriented methods, developed in collaboration with societal actors involved in the project—from the initial design of the research agenda to fieldwork and dissemination activities.

Developing humour literacy: analysing production, content and reception of humour  to bring positive change in the public sphere

The goal of the project is to find out how humour literacy can be used to reframe the conflicts and controversial issues in the public sphere and bring benefit to European society by promoting dialogue rather than conflict.  Humour literacy is understood to be an ability to decipher the signs, references and messages that humorous discourse evokes, and an awareness of the benefits and risks of presenting these messages in humorous form to different audiences, public and private, such as a risk of humour failure, humour scandal, or discriminatory humour. Humour literacy has not been systematically and cross-culturally studied before. We plan to fill this gap by employing a comprehensive analysis of humour on all levels of the communication process: production, content and reception, which corresponds to the three R&I work packages of the project. We want to reach our goal by conducting interviews with humour producers (artists, standup comedians, cartoonists), collecting and analysing humorous content, as well distributing questionnaires and conducting focus group discussions with humour recipients  (e.g. visitors of humour or cartoon museums). The staff exchange between 23 partner institutions (15 academic and 8 non-academic ones) from 11 EU and 3 non-EU countries over the period of 48 months. It will be organized in such a way as to create synergy by combining the professional and culture-specific expertise of the academic project participants, who represent diverse fields of study including linguistics, folkloristics, sociology, critical literacy, second language teaching, political communication and computational analysis, with that of practitioners. This will ensure the knowledge exchange between academic and non-academic partners as well between EU and non-EU partners. The project results will be disseminated among academic and non-academic institutions with the specific focus on educational activities which aim at promoting humour literacy.

Encouraging a digital and Green transition through Revitalized and Inclusive Union-Employer Negotiations

The EGRUiEN project aims to answer the question of how best to ensure a just green and digital transition through social dialogue institutions and practices, to protect, represent and include precarious and non-standard workers, and to protect affected workers currently in primary labour market jobs from falling into precarity.  Europe is undergoing a period of rapid, fundamental transition, which is affecting production, employment, job design and skill requirements in many industries, such as in the sector cases EGRUiEN investigates,  automotive, energy, on-demand transportation/taxi, and care services. This presents contradictory goals: for economic and environmental reasons the transition must occur as quickly as possible, yet this fuels processes of creative destruction that undermines the efficacy of social dialogue.  Social dialogue, however, has often been a tool to guide transitions. EGRUiEN  will research how past social dialogues have managed similar transitions, and how current social dialogues are faring. Through  participatory action research with actual and potential social partners, EGRUiEN will create a research basis to revitalize social dialogue to manage the green and digital transition.  This will  providing us with research-based tools for more inclusive and effective social dialogue. EGRUiEN has nine work-packages: Management (WP1), history (local longitudinal historical case studies, WP2), four sectoral studies (autos, energy, care, and on-demand transport, WP3-6), EU-level coordination (action research, WP7), New Social Dialogue (cross-country analysis, WP8), and Dissemination (WP9).  The historical research provides a basis for the sectoral studies, which provide a basis for EU-level participatory action research (WP7) and cross-national analysis (WP8).  Dissemination in is built into the research design through participatory research, but also WP9 enables widespread dissemination among practitioners, policy makers and academics.

The HEPI (Health Economics for Policy Impact) proposal utilise an existing European research infrastructure, the ELIXIR, to develop the scientific integration of Europe and Africa in the area of health economics, and to promote better integration of research in policy processes. Our Objectives for HEPI are directly aligned with the key areas of ‘sustainable growth and jobs’ and ‘peace, security and governance’ outlined in the European Union and European External Action Service’s ‘Towards a comprehensive strategy with Africa’, specifically in the field of population health and health system strengthening. We will (i) facilitate improved policy and research interactions in health economics and financing in Africa, (ii) foster alignment between academic and political infrastructures in health economics across Europe and Africa and facilitate the sharing of resources, (iii) strengthen capacity at institutional level, and (iv) strengthen the capability of individual researchers and policymakers to produce, interpret and apply health economic evidence.   We will establish and expand Health Economics Communities of Practice (HE COPs) in both East and West Africa. These platforms will bring together stakeholders from member states’ policy and academic communities to strengthen health economics knowledge, support the uptake of research evidence into policy, and enhance collaboration on pertinent health policy issues. We will align academic and political infrastructures in Europe and Africa in the field of health economics, and lay the foundation for sharing of materials, methods and data. We will support higher education institutions to enhance their capacity in training highly skilled professionals proficient in health economics methods. Finally, we will promote individual capability building by providing personalized guidance and support through a 2 year mentorship program. 

Health Economics for Policy Impact

This SUSCARE project addresses the call for proposals on global health by proposing an international partnership between Norwegian and Colombian Universities, Research Institutes, and International Diabetes Federation, Colombia. The primary objective of SUSCARE is to establish a long-term partnership on advancing “SDG 3-Good Health and Well-being” by fostering the Norwegian government`s “Better Health, Better Lives” goal. The main purpose of this pre-project is to build a consortium and lay the theoretical and practical foundations for applying for Collaborative and Knowledge-building Projects (KSP) in Global Health in 2025 aimed to implement and evaluate a sustainable and equitable Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Based Patient-centred framework for self-management of type 2 diabetic (T2D). Overall, this pre-project will help to get a better overview of the research challenges, perform necessary assessments of user requirements and research needs to improve self-management of T2D, identify, and engage potential stakeholders, and make concrete development goals and research direction for the KSP application to be submitted in March 2025.

Evaluating quantum computing for finite element simulations applied to natural fragmentation modeling and improved vehicle protection

Tretti år har gått siden Verdenskommisjonen for miljø og utvikling lanserte rapporten Vår felles fremtid og satte ideen om bærekraftig utvikling på den internasjonale dagsorden. Ideen ble anerkjent av verdensledere på Rio konferansen i 1992, og har siden strukturert den internasjonale debatten om miljø og utvikling. Senest har FNs generalforsamling vedtatt bærekraftsmålene frem mot 2030. Bærekraftig utvikling utgjør kjernen i en rekke kritiske forhold knyttet til forbedring av menneskers velferd, beskyttelse av miljøet, rettferdighet innen og mellom generasjoner, og offentlig deltakelse i utvikling beslutningsprosesser om miljø og utvikling. Selv om bærekraftig utvikling kritiseres jevnlig i politikk og forskning, lever ideen videre fordi den sier noe avgjørende om miljø- og utviklingsproblemer i den moderne verden.

I løpet av de siste tiårene har en rekke internasjonale konferanser diskutert begrepets innhold og ikke minst praktisk oppfølging. Likeledes har den vitenskapelige litteraturen om bærekraftig utvikling fortsatt å vokse. Dette prosjektet er et bidrag til denne litteraturen.

Formålet med prosjektet er å reflektere over kritiske temaer reist av Vår felles fremtid og praktisk erfaring med bærekraftig utvikling i tre tiår. Vi har gjort det ved å samle en gruppe internasjonale eksperter på to arbeidsmøter: Oslo i 2017 og Ottawa i 2018. Ekspertenes bidrag er så redigert av redaktørgruppen (Meadowcroft, Banister, Holden, Langhelle, Linnerud og Gilpin) og ble sendt inn som en redigert bok til forlaget Edward Elgar 20. desember 2018. Boken vil bli publisert i 2019.

Formålet med boken er å skape et særskilt bidrag til litteraturen strukturert rundt tre kritiske temaer: (a) respektere miljømessige grenser, (b) rettferdighet, menneskelige behov og utvikling, og (c) transformasjon og omstilling. Utfordringer knyttet til hvordan håndtere klimaendringer er et tverrgående tema for alle bidragene i boka. Klimaendringer er på mange måter det paradigmatiske bærekraftig utviklingsproblemet, noe Vår felles fremtid var den første av en rekke internasjonale rapporten til å anerkjenne. Selv om diskusjonen i boka er historisk, ser vi også fremover når vi søker å utforske spørsmålet: Hva nå for bærekraftig utvikling?

I tillegg til introduksjonen og konklusjonen (av redaktørene) er bokens innhold som følger: 2. Our Common Future in Earth Systems perspective (Simon Dalby); 3. A normative model of sustainable development: how do countries comply? (Kristin Linnerud, Erling Holden, Geoffrey Gilpin and Morten Simonsen); 4. The global sustainability challenges in the future: the energy use, materials supply, pollution, climate change and inequality nexus (Harald Sverdrup); 5. Implications of deep decarbonisation pathways for sustainable development (Sabine Fuss); 6. Brundtland+30: the continuing need for an indicator of environmental sustainability (Paul Ekins and Arkaitz Usubiaga); 7. Sustainability and redistribution (Iris Borowy); 8. Necessities and luxuries: how to combine redistribution with sustainable consumption (Ian Gough); 9. Taming equity in multilateral climate politics: A shift from responsibilities to capacities (Sonja Klinsky and Aarti Gupta); 10. The Transition to Sustainability as Interbeing . . . or: from oncology to ontology (Felix Rauschmayer); 11. Taking climate change and transformations to sustainability seriously (Karen O?Brien); 12. Sustainability and the politics of transformations: from control to care in moving beyond Modernity (Andy Stirling); 13. Politics and technology: deploying the state to accelerate socio-technical transitions for sustainability (Oluf Langhelle, James Meadowcroft, and Daniel Rosenbloom); 14. Beyond limits: making policy in a climate changed world (Eva Lövbrand); 15. A Future for Sustainable Development? (David Banister)

Bokens kapitler står på egne ben, men det er en "felles melding" som oppsummerer dagens situasjonen, diagnosen av problemer og veier til omstilling. Fokus på disse fellestrekkene presenteres i introduksjons- og konklusjonskapittelet. En av de viktigste bidragene i boka vært å identifisere kritiske spenninger mellom de enkelte kapitlene og som må gis mer oppmerksomhet fremover (for eksempel: betydningen av 'indre transformasjon' versus 'strukturelle endringer'; 'frakobling' versus 'redusert vekst).

Thirty years have passed since the World Commission on Environment and Development released its landmark report - Our Common Future - which brought the concept of sustainable development to international attention. Defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs", the idea was endorsed by world leaders at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, and has structured international debate about environment and development over the ensuing decades. Most recently, the UN General Assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals to guide international efforts until 2030.

As it has become embedded in international discourse, sustainable development links together a series of critical normative concerns related to improving human welfare, protecting the environment (especially global life support systems), equity within and between generations, and public participation in environment and development decision making. Although sustainable development has been subject to countless critiques and disappointments, the idea endures - because it captures something essential about the problems of environment and development confronting the modern world.

To mark this important anniversary we propose to invite a group of international scholars to come together in two workshops to examine the current context for movement towards more sustainable patterns of societal development and to reflect on the legacy of Our Common Future. The first workshop will be held in Oslo 14-16 October 2017 and the second in Ottawa 9-11 May 2018.
