TY - JOUR TI - Austrian climate policies and GHG-emissions since 1990: What is the role of climate policy integration? AU - Niedertscheider, Maria AU - Haas, Willi AU - Görg, Christoph T2 - Environmental Science & Policy AB - In 1990 Austria has committed to the Kyoto-protocol and later to the Paris Agreement. Since then, it has developed two climate strategies, has passed its first climate protection act, has adopted a strategy for adaptation to climate change and has implemented many new institutions, programmes and local to provincial climate change mitigation (CCM) measures. Indeed, Austrian GHG-emissions have been decreasing since 2005, giving reasons to suspect policy success. A closer analysis, however, challenges this impression. Here, we put climate policies since 1990 into perspective with other, often short-term drivers of GHG-emissions. Employing a conceptual framework, we evaluate the level of climate policy integration, which has been found key for successful climate policies in literature. This framework also helps us to detect benefits and shortcomings of past and existing CCM policies and so to derive insights relevant for policy-makers. We find that short-term climatic and socio-economic events overruled climate policies in their proximate GHG-emission effects, even when policies were implemented due to EU regulation after 2007. Policy effects are much more difficult to uncover, because they often happen within longer time-frames and are usually accompanied by indirect CCM-effects. In the background of accelerating climate change impacts in combination with associated high uncertainties, strengthening climate policies and integrating reflexive mechanisms that allow adjusting and continuously re-evaluating policy effectiveness, will become ever more important. Eliminating inconsistencies between CCM- and other sectoral policies and drastically reforming accounting schemes to include carbon leakage effects are particularly timely, yet considering political realities, very bold but necessary next step to make climate goals attainable.

ExpertInnenbericht AU - Großmann, Anett AU - Wolter, Marc Ingo AU - Hinterberger, Fritz AU - Püls, Lea T2 - GWS Specialists in Empirical Economic Research AB - Österreichs Regierung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Klimaneutralität bis zum Jahr 2040 zu erreichen. Für 2030 bedeutet das eine Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen um 50% in zehn Jahren. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen von Klimaschutzmaßnahmen auf CO2-Emissionen und den Arbeitsmarkt mittels modellgestützter Folgenabschätzungen. Eine 50%ige Reduktion der Emissionen ist bei der Bündelung aller diskutierten Optionen sowie einem schnellen und klimagerechten Umbau des Kapitalstocks (Bauten und Ausrüstungsgüter) möglich. Großes CO2-Einsparpotenzial gibt es insbesondere im Verkehrs- und Gebäudesektor sowie in der energieintensiven Industrie. Die umfassenden investiven Maßnahmen müssen zur Erreichung des Ziels von Verhaltensanpassungen bei Haushalten und Unternehmen begleitet werden. Die Besteuerung klimaschädlichen Verhaltens und der Abbau umweltkontraproduktiver Subventionen können einen Finanzierungsbeitrag zu einer klimafreundlichen Wirtschaft in Österreich leisten. Staatliche Unterstützung bleibt trotzdem notwendig vor allem in Anbetracht des aktuell niedrigen CO2- und Ölpreises. Der Übergang zu einer neuen, emissionsärmeren Wirtschaftsweise bis 2030 hat in Summe kaum Auswirkungen auf das Beschäftigungsniveau. Allerdings gibt es weitreichende und strukturelle Wirkungen in relativ kurzer Zeit (zehn Jahre) für Branchen und Berufe, die den Bedarf an Umschulungs- und Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen erhöhen CY - Osnabrück, Wien DA - 2020/// PY - 2020 PB - GWS UR - https://downloads.gws-os.com/Gro%c3%9fmannEtAl2020_ExpertInnenbericht.pdf L1 - files/19112/Großmann et al_2020_Die Auswirkungen von klimapolitischen Maßnahmen auf den österreichischen.pdf KW - FOD ER - TY - RPRT TI - CATs – Options and Considerations for a Carbon Tax in Austria.

The concepts’ popularity coupled with a lack of definitional consensus may hinder their potential to advance sustainability transitions. Hence, the first comparative bibliometric study of these two concepts was carried out. It was found that they share notable links in the fields of sustainability, business models, sustainable consumption and governance. Business model literature reveals links mostly in the realms of platform- and service-based activities. The field of SE has a strong consumer focus but, unlike CE, barely addressed rebound effects so far. Governance literature shows a general top-down dynamic driving CE, while SE is considered to be bottom-up. SE is conceptualized as a subset of CE which opens possibilities for mutual enrichment. The findings aim to provoke more dialogue between the CE and SE communities.

Drivers and Barriers in the Eco-innovation Road to the Circular Economy AU - de Jesus, Ana AU - Mendonça, Sandro T2 - Ecological Economics AB - Understanding which drivers and barriers exist in the development of a circular economy (CE) is a relevant and timely endeavour. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this debate by analysing evidence regarding the different factors helping and hampering the development of a CE. Specifically, this paper focuses on the eco-innovation (EI) pathway towards a CE, and tries to coordinate available but fragmented findings regarding how “transformative innovation” can foster this transition while removing obstacles to sustainability. Drawing upon a new corpus of both academic and non-academic literature, this work offers a framework for analysis, as well as an evidence-based survey of the challenges, for a green structural change of the economy. We argue that the combination of the innovation systems' view with the more recent “transformation turn” in innovation studies may provide an appropriate perspective for understanding the transition to a CE. Ultimately, the paper aims to capitalise on these insights to contribute to the design of policy guidelines and organisational strategies.

Based on historical examples of the conflict relations between trade unions and environmental groups in the Austrian energy sector, this paper showcases how the relationship between the two groups has changed from enmity to first attempts at alliance building. Drawing from analysis of union documents and problem-centred interviews conducted with Austrian unionists, it shows that newly emerging alliances between unions and environmental movements contain the seeds for a broad societal movement that can help overcome the paradigm of growth and actively engage in the creation of policies that support a social–ecological transformation.

The Case of Austria AU - Brand, Ulrich AU - Pawloff, Adam T2 - Journal of Environmental Protection AB - Despite legally binding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and good pre-conditions for progressive climate action, emissions in Austria are on the rise. This article explores the reasons why climate change policy is so ineffective in Austria. We show that the social partnership has contributed significantly to the standstill in renewable energy production and the rejection of more ambitious reduction targets concerning greenhouse gas emissions, and consider the role of experts and expertise in climate change policies. The ineffectiveness of climate policy in Austria is largely due to corporatist actors who often act like an ex-ante filter or selective mechanism for what is politically acceptable or possible and what is not. Climate change is for the most part successfully kept off the political agenda and (climate sceptical) politicization does not take place. Insights from the literature on corporatism are enhanced by the concepts of strategic and epistemic selectivity to analyse not only access to the state terrain but also the domination of specific knowledge forms, problem perceptions, and narratives over others.

The Austrian energy plan aims at increasing the currently installed wind power capacity from approximately 1GW to 3GW until 2020 including an additional capacity of 700MW until 2015. The aim of this analysis is to assess economically viable wind turbine sites under current feed-in tariffs considering constraints imposed by infrastructure, the natural environment and ecological preservation zones in Austria. We analyze whether the policy target of installing an additional wind power capacity of 700MW until 2015 is attainable under current legislation and developed a GIS based decision system for wind turbine site selection.Results show that the current feed-in tariff of 9.7 ct kWh−1 may trigger an additional installation of 3544MW. The current feed-in tariff can therefore be considered too high as wind power deployment would exceed the target by far. Our results indicate that the targets may be attained more cost-effectively by applying a lower feed-in tariff of 9.1 ct kWh−1. Thus, windfall profits at favorable sites and deadweight losses of policy intervention can be minimized while still guaranteeing the deployment of additional wind power capacities.

Aim This paper illustrates intersections between both policy spheres in Austria and argues that disjunct policies undermine efforts at alleviating energy poverty. We identify conditions under which housing in Austria may lead to reduction in carbon emissions and inequality. Methods A concurrent triangulation design combines secondary data analysis, semi-structured expert interviews, and an in-depth analysis of legal documents. Results Energy poor and generally poor similarly live in low-quality and inefficient housing. Climate and social policy suffer from fragmented jurisdictions lacking inter-sectoral integration and do not accurately target the energy poor. Structural investments and the provision of affordable, adequate housing conflict due to the tenant/landlord dilemma. Implications Socio-economic conditions and housing market structures need to be incorporated in policy design. Inter-ministerial collaboration may mainstream the integration of climate and social policy.

Our scenarios focus on non-ETS CO2 emissions and comprise different tax rates and revenue recycling options (lower labor taxes, lower VAT and lump sum payments). The short-term comparative scenario analysis indicates that CO2 taxes without recycling lead to significant CO2 emission reductions at moderate economic costs. Equity impacts on households depend on the indicator used but can be regressive without recycling. Most recycling schemes can achieve a double dividend, i.e. emission reductions and increases in GDP. Lump sum payments are less efficient than reducing the VAT or labor taxes. Equity impacts are progressive with lump sum payments, rather proportional with lower VAT and regressive with lower labor taxes. A combination of recycling schemes and/or a restriction of lump sum payments to lower income households can minimize the trade-off between equity and efficiency. Our simulations suggest that well-designed CO2 tax schemes could be a crucial and socially acceptable element within a comprehensive policy package to achieve GHG emission targets for non-ETS sectors in Austria.

Surrounded by centralized hierarchies on the one hand and predatory markets on the other, people around the world are searching for alternatives. The Wealth of the Commons explains how millions of commoners have organized to defend their forests and fisheries, reinvent local food systems, organize productive online communities, reclaim public spaces, improve environmental stewardship and re-imagine the very meaning of "progress" and governance. In short, how they've built their commons. In 73 timely essays by a remarkable international roster of activists, academics and project leaders, this book chronicles ongoing struggles against the private com­moditization of shared resources - often known as market enclosures - while docu­menting the immense generative power of the commons. The Wealth of the Commons is about history, political change, public policy and cultural transformation on a global scale - but most of all, it's about individual commoners taking charge of their lives and their endangered resources. "This fine collection makes clear that the idea of the Commons is fully international, and increasingly fully worked-out. If you find yourself wondering what Occupy wants, or if some other world is possible, this pragmatic, down-to-earth, and unsentimental book will provide many of the answers." - Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and The Durable Future DA - 2014/05/23/ PY - 2014 DP - Google Books SP - 699 LA - en PB - Levellers Press SN - 978-1-937146-14-6 ST - The Wealth of the Commons L2 - https://books.google.at/books?id=vcOgAwAAQBAJ L4 - https://books.google.at/books?id=vcOgAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false KW - Political Science / Political Economy KW - Political Science / Globalization ER - TY - BOOK TI - Nachhaltige Nicht-Nachhaltigkeit: Warum die ökologische Transformation der Gesellschaft nicht stattfindet AU - Blühdorn, Ingolfur AU - Butzlaff, Felix AU - Deflorian, Michael AU - Hausknost, Daniel AU - Mock, Mirijam AB - Auch wenn die Dringlichkeit einer sozial-ökologischen Transformation zur Nachhaltigkeit längst von praktisch allen Seiten anerkannt wird - moderne Gesellschaften verteidigen ihren Wohlstand und Lebensstil entschiedener denn je.

Österreich hat sich auf internationaler Ebene verpflichtet, einen signifikanten Beitrag zur Reduktion der CO2 Emissionen zu leisten. Derzeitige Prognosen gehen davon aus, dass Österreich seine nationalen Vorgaben bis zum Jahr 2030 nicht erfüllen wird. Entsprechend sind weitere Maßnahmen notwendig, um diese Ziele zu erreichen. In der vorliegenden Policy Note werden die klimapolitischen Instrumente a) Emissionszertifikatehandel, b) CO2 Steuer und c) Regulierungsmaßnahmen anhand verschiedener Kriterien analysiert. Die Gesamtbewertung hängt davon ab, welchen der Kriterien besonderer Stellenwert beigemessen wird. In Hinblick auf die Zielerreichung hat der Emissionshandel Vorteile, da über die Menge der ausgegebenen Zertifikate das Emissionsziel treffsicher erreicht werden kann. Bei der CO2 Steuer ist die Höhe der Steuer, mit der das vorgegebene CO2-Reduktionsziel erreicht wird, hingegen ex ante bestenfalls abschätzbar. Es besteht demnach die Gefahr, dass der Staat die Steuer zu niedrig oder zu hoch ansetzt und damit das Ziel verfehlt wird oder private Haushalte und Unternehmen unnötig belastet werden. Auch die Vielzahl von Auflagen und Regulierungen sind in der Praxis mit erheblichen Unsicherheiten bezüglich der Zielerreichung verbunden. Kosteneffizienz bedeutet, dass die Klimaziele zu möglichst niedrigsten Kosten für private Haushalte und Unternehmen erreicht werden. Der Emissionshandel und die CO2 Steuer erfüllen das Effizienzkriterium, da die Emissionsvermeidung dort vollzogen wird, wo dies am kostengünstigsten möglich ist. Idealtypisch würden alle Sektoren und Staaten von einem Klimainstrument umfasst. Dies ist in der Praxis allerdings wenig realistisch. Regulierungen berücksichtigen in der Regel die unterschiedlichen Vermeidungskosten von privaten Haushalten und Unternehmen allenfalls unzureichend und führen daher zu ineffizienten Ergebnissen. In Hinblick auf die Verteilungswirkung zeigen CO2-Steuern und Emissionszertifikate eine eher regressive Wirkung, da Haushalte mit niedrigerem Einkommen einen größeren Anteil ihres Einkommens für mit CO2- Emissionen verbundene Produkte wie Strom oder Heizen ausgeben. Je nach Rückerstattung, kann allerdings auch eine progressive Wirkung erzielt werden. Regulierungen können ebenso zu regressiven Wirkungen führen. In Hinblick auf die Umsetzbarkeit sind Klimainstrumente mit relativ geringen Transaktionskosten verbunden. Sollen Maßnahmen rasch umgesetzt werden, spricht dies eher für CO2 Steuern. Der Emissionshandel bedarf einer Implementierungsphase. Regulierungen sehen häufig Bestandsschutz vor, mit entsprechend verzögerter Wirkung. Die volkswirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der klimapolitischen Instrumente hängen entscheidend von der Kosteneffizienz, der Überwälzung der Kosten auf die Preise sowie der Verwendung der Einnahmen ab. Internationale Studien zeigen, dass die Wachstumswirkung einer CO2 Bepreisung je nach Höhe und Art der Rückerstattung zwischen plus vier und minus acht Prozent auf 40 Jahre kumuliert ausmachen kann. Auch die Verteilungswirkung ist hiervon abhängig. Zusätzlich erhöht die Überwälzung der CO2 Bepreisung in die Verbraucherpreise die Inflation, was über höhere Lohnabschlüsse die Arbeitskosten erhöhen kann.

AU - Johnson, Victoria T2 - Energy Research & Social Science AB - The diffusion of socio-technical systems is more complex than that of discrete products and cannot be understood solely with adoption models that have come to dominate the diffusion literature. The paper makes two contributions. First, it aims to broaden the conceptual repertoire by distinguishing two analytical families: adoption models and socio-technical theories of diffusion. We distinguish four adoption models (epidemic, rational choice, socio-psychological, increasing-returns-to-adoption) and three socio-technical models (system building, circulation/replication, societal embedding), and discuss their phenomenological characteristics and causal mechanisms. Second, the paper shows that system diffusion is a multi-dimensional process that is best understood with a modular approach that combines insights from different conceptual models. To demonstrate this second contribution and explore the temporal salience of different models, we apply them to the diffusion of Austrian biomass district heating (BMDH) systems (1979–2013). The paper ends with integrative suggestions by temporally positioning different diffusion models in a broader framework.

This applies to the mitigation of climate change, in particular when federal governments (as in the U.S.) are inactive. More recently, federalism is also expected to empower sub-national actors in adapting to local impacts of climate change. The present paper analyses the role federalism in Austria played in greening the decentralised building sector (relevant for mitigation) on the one hand, and in improving regional flood risk management (relevant for adaptation) on the other. In line with the so-called matching school of the environmental federalism research strand we conclude that Austrian federalism proved to be more appropriate for regional flood protection than for mitigating climate change. We highlight that it is not federalism per se but federalism embedded in various contextual factors that shape environmental policy-making. Among these factors are the spatial scale of an environmental problem, the nitty-gritty of polity systems, and national politics (such as federal positions on climate change mitigation).

AU - Keinert-Kisin, Christina T2 - Corporate Social Responsibility in Europe: United in Sustainable Diversity A2 - Idowu, Samuel O. A2 - Schmidpeter, René A2 - Fifka, Matthias S. T3 - CSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance AB - Austria, a nation in the heart of Europe, is recognized as a small country of good quality of living, stable economy development and social cohesion. Its post-war development is marked by a third way between socialism and capitalism, a social market economy. Corporations and organized workforce form part of a centralized social partnership organized in federations. A welfare state provides a social safety net. Austria is also known as a country that does well regarding environmental protection, green energy and sustainable development. When viewing CSR as a concept that is concerned with the protection of social and environmental interests in private business activity, it might appear as if Austria excelled in it. The concept of CSR has relatively late gained a foothold in Austrian public discourse, though. This contribution will put forward a deliberation how Austrian institutions and regulation may shape CSR practice toward compliance-driven engagement, whereas more advanced forms of CSR engagement may remain rare in the Austrian context. These propositions will be contrasted and complemented with findings of the only existent empirical study on CSR practice by Austrian companies, and an outlook for the future of CSR in Austria will be offered.

Their policy strategies emphasize energy efficiency by means of technological innovations. However, these strategies are at risk of severe rebound effects, as savings from more efficient products and facilities may be (over-)compensated by rearrangements in consumer behavior. While rebound effects are widely acknowledged, it is less clear how they arise from the complex interactions between market actors, consumer preferences, and policy initiatives.

First, we suggest a new survey design to measure the energy-related policy environment. Second, we simultaneously estimate the policy effects for the adoption propensity and the adoption intensity simultaneously and, third, we compare the policy effects in the three countries, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Based on a representative sample of firms for all three countries we find that policies essentially promote the adoption of technologies and they are practically ineffective for the intensity, which poses a great challenge to future policy designs. Voluntary agreements or demand-related factors are among the most important drivers for the adoption propensity of green energy technologies. Given the current institutional framework in the surveyed countries, subsidies are more effective in Austria, taxes are more effective in Germany, and demand-related factors are relatively more effective in Switzerland.

First, we discuss the framework conditions for the diffusion in Austria of rural biomass district heating (BDH) plants, an energy conversion plant type which constituted a real innovation in the 1980s. Second, we describe the diffusion of BDH systems in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg, where a variety of biomass energy systems have been promoted by capital grants since 1993, as part of a dedicated bioenergy promotion programme. Third, the paper contains a case study of a 2MW BDH plant put into operation in 2000 in Rankweil, a small market town located in Vorarlberg on the east side of the Rhine Valley. Analysis of the plant history reveals that an oversupply of forest residues, caused by devastating storms and forest diseases, together with the more general need to rejuvenate severely over-aged forest stands, created strong incentives to form local actor networks and initiatives to push for the adoption and diffusion of centralised biomass heating systems in rural areas. In addition, intensive lobbying and strong political and public support were necessary to successfully combat interventions by both the natural gas industry and influential gas-supplied industrial enterprises. Finally, a capital grant of 45% of eligible investment costs as well as careful capacity expansion and other planning significantly improved and safeguarded the economic viability of the plant. These considerations, combined with a dedicated forest-restructuring programme, render the plant one of the most successful integrated forestry and BDH projects in Vorarlberg, and an important model for later adopters. Overall, the analysis sheds some light on the role of public policy, local actors, and economic and other framework conditions on the market diffusion dynamics of BDH in Austria.

It has been critically discussed to what extent climate policy is integrated in different policy fields at the European and the national level. In this paper, we analyze the expectations toward CPI from the perspective of stakeholders focusing on two fields in Austria — energy and land use. We combine CPI approaches with social-ecological transformation research, which highlights obstacles for CPI, which can be found in the polity, leading to conflicts between different actor groups or institutions. More specifically, we examine, through a process of co-production of knowledge together with stakeholder groups, how CPI functions in its categories of horizontal and vertical policy integration, cooperation and conflict, reporting, vision, uncertainties, and reflexivity. Results show that policy integration remains contested, alternative visions to economic growth are needed and communication with policymakers needs to be improved. Furthermore, reflexive learning is central for the success of CPI. Finally, it matters who has access and who plays a role in governance structures. Co-production of knowledge can play a crucial role, but faces a challenging tension between being inclusive and losing its transformative capacities. A shift from a narrow focus on policy making to consider the limiting or enabling structural conditions for interaction between a wide variety of stakeholders is required. Instead of reflexive learning how to best accommodate the powerful interest groups, this could increase the space for reflexive and adaptive policy integration aimed at achieving normative climate targets.

Energy supply contracting helps building residents to overcome the barrier of high upfront investment costs while additionally reducing risks related to energy-saving mechanisms. This study examines profitability for energy contractors in a variety of business cases that simultaneously ensure energy cost savings for the residents. A mixed-integer linear optimization model is developed for a neighborhood energy community, consisting of three buildings with diverse usages. In the process, the optimum capacities of building-attached and building-integrated photovoltaics, a heat pump and a gas-fired mini combined heat and power unit are determined to cover the energy community’s electricity and heat load. Results show that cross-domain contracting within energy communities is highly profitable for both, the contractor and the residents, while the extent depends on the accounting method, assumed interest rate and depreciation time. The additional application of energy-efficiency measures in/on the buildings, constituting a combination of energy supply and energy performance contracting, further increases profitability. The investigation of several sensitivities shows that high grid energy costs for electricity and gas enhance profitability of local energy technologies, leading to an increase in optimal technology capacities.

Institutions and institutional change have been identified as critical issues, as regional institutional settings significantly influence the pace and scope of sustainability transitions. However, the complex institutional dynamics underpinning 'Regional Transition Paths to Sustainability' (RTPS) are not well understood. Underexplored is in particular the link between short time gradual changes on the micro-level and long-term transformative change on the system level. In order to add to a more profound understanding of these processes, a focus on organizational change is valuable. The basic argument made in this article is that the emergence of new temporary and more permanent forms of organization has the potential to enable de-institutionalization and new institutionalization processes simultaneously. As we will show, new organizational forms also serve as a means to make institutional dynamics visible. The contribution of this paper is thus twofold: By combining insights from sustainability transition theory, evolutionary economic geography and neoinstitutional organization theory, we develop an original conceptual framework. By developing and applying the methodological approach of a 'transition topology', the potential of this framework for comparative research on actors and processes in different regional transition path to sustainability is revealed.

A successful energy transition relies on multi-faceted dynamics. This study identifies the barriers and motivators affecting the energy transition from the perspective of three decision-making levels: a) formal social units, b) collective decision-making units, and c) individual consumers engaging in joint contracts; and technological foci that constitute the core of EU Energy Efficiency Directive. We present a literature review that identifies approaches to the barriers and motivators before demonstrating the results of qualitative analysis on transcripts of 67 in-depth interviews and 15 focus groups across six EU member and associate countries. This study identifies emerging themes regarding the decision-making levels and technological foci, assesses the degree of alignment between the existing literature and the perspectives of these respondents from different decision-making levels, and suggests how these perspectives can be translated into policy recommendations. An important finding of the study is that barriers are frequently described as being confined to lower level collective decision-making units, whereas the transition to low carbon is deemed inevitable for higher levels. Therefore, in addition to communication, a significant role in enabling energy transition is played by personal and social factors, which should be considered in policy-making.

In this article, we conduct a comparison of the expansion of renewable energy sources in Austria, Belgium, and Germany at the level of their subnational units (federal states), thereby covering three economically very important central European federal European Union members. We consider potentially influential factors in a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis: In addition to state-specific socioeconomic and geographical characteristics, political factors, such as parties in government, and specific energy-related policy instruments are included in the analysis. We find that a high potential for renewable electricity expansion in combination with low financial prosperity is most likely to lead to a successful expansion of renewable electricity production from wind and photovoltaics.

In an effort to do so, the researchers focus on a case study region where a collaborative process for developing an earmarked energy region has been initiated. The purpose of this paper is to identify and understand how collaborative governance needs to be organized in order to foster energy transition in the energy region under study. The research is designed as sequential case study analysis based on different data collection steps including desk and field research as well as participatory research and observation. The research team worked with regional stakeholders and in a first step a moderated stakeholder identification process informed the subsequent stakeholder and governance analysis. Our results show that a moderated stakeholder identification process helps to integrate the relevant stakeholders in a strong alliance building process which helps to avoid information asymmetries and to detect path-dependent structures and systemic lock-ins. External support also helps identifying relevant actors outside the group of ‘usual suspects’. One lesson learned is to establish supportive institutional structures allowing less committed stakeholders to change their mindset and to create mutual interest. The paper provides theoretical and empirical insights for both academics and practitioners.

In two energy-economic scenarios, potential effects of climate and energy policy measures on energy consumption and value added in Austria are modelled up to the year 2050. According to the UNFCCC definition, a WEM scenario ("with existing measures") is developed which describes energy-economic trends and includes the climate and energy-economic measures implemented until the end of May 2016. In addition, a WAM plus scenario ("with additional measures") is developed and modelled, which is based on the medium- and long-term objectives of the European climate and energy policy, i.e., a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of 80 to 95 percent by 2050 (compared to 1990) and a representation of the 2030 target (greenhouse gas emissions –40 percent) detailed for Austria. The WAM plus scenario includes a large number of additional measures in the area of energy efficiency, renewable energy and technological change. Next to technological innovations and cost improvements in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, this includes behavioural and lifestyle changes in energy-related demand patterns and targeted infrastructure investments. The WAM plus scenario is a global climate change scenario that reflects a global commitment to achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. The modelling of the scenarios takes the form of a model coupling of a number of technology-oriented sectoral bottom-up models of the project partners (AEA, TU Vienna, TU Graz, UBA) with a top-down model – the WIFO.DYNK model (Dynamic New-Keynesian model). As a result, there is a slight absolute decoupling of economic performance and energy consumption in the WEM scenario, with an average annual GDP growth rate of 1.5 percent. Considerable investments in a low-carbon economy set significant growth impulses for the Austrian economy in the WAM plus scenario. Cost-saving effects through lower energy bills are responsible for income effects that generate a positive stimulous to the economy. Ultimately, this increases the average annual GDP growth rate to 1.7 percent (at constant prices), with a significant fall in energy demand in the main aggregated sectors. Detailed sector results can be found in the report.

Its nodes (globalization, nation state and democracy), however, have to be redefined to grasp contemporary dynamics of deglobalization. Based on a modified political trilemma of contemporary social-ecological transformation, I discuss and compare three visions and the resultant strategies: (1) Liberal globalism, focusing on hyperglobalization and individualism, (2) nationalistic capitalism, stressing national sovereignty and authoritarian governance, and (3) foundational economy based on planetary coexistence which combines selective economic deglobalization with a strengthening of a place-based foundational economy, and their respective social-ecological infrastructural configurations.

Recently, the European Union has enacted a policy package calling for a transition from linear- towards circular production cycles across its Member States by 2050. The majority of research so far has focused on the micro- and meso-level, investigating CE implications on the product- and firm-level. On the national level however, a CE monitoring framework has yet to be developed.

Demand-side measures mostly focus on the footprints of consumption. Analysing time use can add to understand the carbon implications of everyday life and the potentials and limitations for decarbonising consumption better. We investigate the carbon footprints of everyday activities in Austria. We linked data from the Austrian Time-use Survey and the Austrian Household Budget Survey with the Eora-MRIO for 2009–2010 in order to estimate the household carbon footprints of all time-use activities. We introduce a functional time-use perspective differentiating personal, committed, contracted and free time to investigate the average carbon intensity of activities per hour, for an average day and for the average woman and man. We find that personal time is relatively low-carbon, while household as well as leisure activities show large variation in terms of CO2e footprint/h. The traditional gendered division of labour shapes the time-use patterns of women and men, with implications for their carbon footprints. Further research analysing differences in household size, income, location and availability of infrastructure in their relation to time use is crucial to be able to assess possible pathways towards low carbon everyday life.

Assessing the design and impact of Dutch transformative policy AU - Janssen, Matthijs J. T2 - Technological Forecasting and Social Change AB - After an era of generic support for economic development and innovation, narrowly targeted policy is back on the table. Recent advances in the fields of new industrial policy (NIP) and transition thinking converge on the idea that achieving structural change requires governments, industry and research to collaborate in formulating targeted yet adaptive strategies. The associated emergence of transformative policy, characterized as being selective, process-oriented and multi-instrumental, poses severe challenges to rising standards of public accountability. Evaluation methods for calculating the ‘bang for the buck’ of R&D-leveraging measures are ill-suited when policy mixes are supposed to guide directed transformations. We argue that assessments should gauge policy contributions to building up technological innovation systems (TIS). The TIS-literature provides a concrete but untapped basis for tracking how policy efforts affect conditions favoring the creation and diffusion of new economic activities. This premise leads us to introduce a scheme for structuring analyses concerned with the organization, orientation and aggregate impact of transformative policy. Drawing upon 107 face-to-face interviews, we apply the scheme to the pilot case of the Dutch ‘Topsector approach’. Its policy design specificities explain why achieved impact so far consists mostly of engaging private parties in fortifying existing knowledge networks, rather than transforming them.

AU - Sorrell, Steve AU - Semieniuk, Gregor AU - Heun, Matthew Kuperus AU - Court, Victor T2 - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews AB - The majority of global energy scenarios anticipate a structural break in the relationship between energy con­ sumption and gross domestic product (GDP), with several scenarios projecting absolute decoupling, where en­ ergy use falls while GDP continues to grow. However, there are few precedents for absolute decoupling, and current global trends are in the opposite direction. This paper explores one possible explanation for the historical close relationship between energy consumption and GDP, namely that the economy-wide rebound effects from improved energy efficiency are larger than is commonly assumed. We review the evidence on the size of economy-wide rebound effects and explore whether and how such effects are taken into account within the models used to produce global energy scenarios. We find the evidence base to be growing in size and quality, but remarkably diverse in terms of the methodologies employed, assumptions used, and rebound mechanisms included. Despite this diversity, the results are broadly consistent and suggest that economy-wide rebound effects may erode more than half of the expected energy savings from improved energy efficiency. We also find that many of the mechanisms driving rebound effects are overlooked by integrated assessment and global energy models. We therefore conclude that global energy scenarios may underestimate the future rate of growth of global energy demand.

Whether work-sharing actually increases employment, however, has been debated controversially. In this article we present stylized facts on the distribution of hours worked and discuss the role of work-sharing for a sustainable economy. Building on recent developments in labor market theory we review the determinants of working long hours and its effect on well-being. Finally, we survey work-sharing reforms in the past. While there seems to be a consensus that work-sharing in the Great Depression in the U.S. and in the Great Recession in Europe was successful in reducing employment losses, perceptions of the work-sharing reforms implemented between the 1980s and early 2000s are more ambivalent. However, even the most critical evaluations of these reforms provide no credible evidence of negative employment effects; instead, the overall success of the policy seems to depend on the economic and institutional setting, as well as the specific details of its implementation.

How federalism has complicated the greening of building policies in Austria AU - Steurer, Reinhard AU - Clar, Christoph T2 - Policy Sciences AB - This paper addresses two related puzzles. The first puzzle is that parts of the environmental federalism literature suggest that federal states are ill-equipped to solve nation-wide or global environmental problems such as climate change, but climate policy scholars usually emphasise the opposite. The second puzzle is that Austria (a federal EU Member State) is regularly praised as an environmental policy leader but has missed its Kyoto target by about 19 %. The paper addresses both puzzles by analysing to what degree federalism is responsible for Austria’s poor mitigation performance. Since the nine Austrian provinces are mainly responsible for regulating the building sector that accounts for about 25 % of total energy consumption and 13 % of the greenhouse gas emissions, the analysis focuses on the integration of climate change mitigation in building policies. The empirical core of the paper analyses all major EU, federal and provincial policies that aimed to green the building sector since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. After showing that these policy outputs cannot explain considerable sectoral emission reductions, we conclude that Austrian federalism did not facilitate but hinder climate change mitigation because it added a vertical dimension to an already complex horizontal integration challenge. However, since federalism can by far not explain Austria’s failure to reach its Kyoto target domestically, we also conclude that it is only one of many independent variables that shape climate change mitigation. Finally, we argue that Austria is neither an environmental policy leader nor a laggard, but an opportunist.

In order to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5 °C target, these figures call for interventionist policies that go beyond individual consumer choice and transform industrial sectors. The article conceptually elaborates on the advancements in transformation and transition studies to analyse the role of industrial policy for accelerating social-ecological transformations. The article empirically analyses key characteristics of EU industrial policy and critically discusses its potential for transforming the automotive sector, based on a qualitative case study of the Austrian automotive (supplier) industry. Our analysis suggests that EU industrial policies at most ecologically modernise and at worst actively conserve the unsustainable structures of the automotive industry. This is because EU automotive industrial policies (1) defend economic growth and competitiveness, (2) focus narrowly on innovation (policy) and refuse to disrupt unsustainable industrial pathways as well as (3) promote ecological modernisation through efficiency instead of absolute emission reductions. The article concludes with entry points for a transformative industrial policy beyond ecological modernisation.

T2 - Globalizations AB - Coronavirus (COVID-19) policy shutdown the world economy with a range of government actions unprecedented outside of wartime. In this paper, economic systems dominated by a capital accumulating growth imperative are shown to have had their structural weaknesses exposed, revealing numerous problems including unstable supply chains, unjust social provisioning of essentials, profiteering, precarious employment, inequities and pollution. Such phenomena must be understood in the context of long standing critiques relating to the limits of economic systems, their consumerist values and divorce from biophysical reality. Critical reflection on the Coronavirus pandemic is combined with a review of how economists have defended economic growth as sustainable, Green and inclusive regardless of systemic limits and multiple crises - climate emergency, economic crash and pandemic. Instead of rebuilding the old flawed political economy again, what the world needs now is a more robust, just, ethical and equitable social-ecological economy.

Increasing concerns about food security and environmental impacts, such as resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions attributed to food waste, have intensified attention to the topic. While food waste occurs in all stages of the food supply chain, private households have been identified as key actors in food waste generation. However, the evidence on why food waste occurs remains scattered. This paper maps the still small but expanding academic territory of consumer food waste by systematically reviewing empirical studies on food waste practices as well as distilling factors that foster and impede the generation of food waste on the household level. Moreover, we briefly discuss the contributions of different social ontologies, more particularly psychology-related approaches and social practice theory. The analysis reveals food waste as a complex and multi-faceted issue that cannot be attributed to single variables; this also calls for a stronger integration of different disciplinary perspectives. Mapping the determinants of waste generation deepens the understanding of household practices and helps design food waste prevention strategies. Finally, we link the identified factors with a set of policy, business, and retailer options.

We analyse SDG 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth” from the perspective of strong sustainability – as phenomena, institutions and ideologies – and find that it does not fit the criteria of strong sustainability. Based on this observation, we propose a novel framework for SDG8 in line with strong sustainability and the latest scientific research, “Sustainable Work and Economic Degrowth”, including a first proposal for new sub-goals, targets and indicators. This encompasses an integrated systems approach to achieving the SDGs’ overalls goals – a sustainable future for present and future generations. The key novel contributions of the paper include new indicators to measure societies’ dependence on economic growth, to ensure the provisioning of welfare independent of economic growth.

AU - O'Neill, Daniel W. AU - Lamb, William F. AU - Krishnakumar, Jaya T2 - Global Environmental Change AB - Meeting human needs at sustainable levels of energy use is fundamental for avoiding catastrophic climate change and securing the well-being of all people. In the current political-economic regime, no country does so. Here, we assess which socio-economic conditions might enable societies to satisfy human needs at low energy use, to reconcile human well-being with climate mitigation. Using a novel analytical framework alongside a novel multivariate regression-based moderation approach and data for 106 countries, we analyse how the relationship between energy use and six dimensions of human need satisfaction varies with a wide range of socio-economic factors relevant to the provisioning of goods and services ('provisioning factors'). We find that factors such as public service quality, income equality, democracy, and electricity access are associated with higher need satisfaction and lower energy requirements (‘beneficial provisioning factors’). Conversely, extractivism and economic growth beyond moderate levels of affluence are associated with lower need satisfaction and greater energy requirements (‘detrimental provisioning factors’). Our results suggest that improving beneficial provisioning factors and abandoning detrimental ones could enable countries to provide sufficient need satisfaction at much lower, ecologically sustainable levels of energy use. However, as key pillars of the required changes in provisioning run contrary to the dominant political-economic regime, a broader transformation of the economic system may be required to prioritise, and organise provisioning for, the satisfaction of human needs at low energy use.

T2 - Sustainability AB - To facilitate organizational change and improve corporate sustainability, this study identifies change agents and factors driving sustainability integration in the core business of companies. The survey on corporate sustainability management in Austria, with focus on smaller large-sized companies (revenue of €50–300 million, at least 250 employees), fills the research gap between studies commonly concentrating on the largest companies and on SMEs. Companies mainly established integrated cross-departmental sustainability management teams, which required change in the routines of employees and change agents to drive the projects. Possible locations of these change agents were identified. We drafted a process model that visualizes how change agents multiply their impact on the organizational level through interaction. The main sustainability implementation drivers are rooted in personal and organizational values, e.g., organizational culture and personal interest; the main inhibiting factors are the lack of resources or locked-up resources, originating from organizational inertness and other barriers to change. Companies can reduce the barriers by, e.g., providing extra resources in role and routine adaption phases and creating incentives to use sustainability-related skills. Austrian companies focus on established environmental and energy management topics. To implement themes that do not necessarily bring financial return, adopting paradox perspective on tensions between conflicting objectives might be useful.

Introducing the Resource States framework AU - Blomsma, Fenna AU - Tennant, Mike T2 - Resources, Conservation and Recycling AB - This paper draws on material entropy and life cycle thinking to develop the Resource States framework. This framework clarifies and systematises the language around resources within the circular economy (CE) discourse, such that insights from different tools and approaches that investigate different aspects of CE can be aggregated and a more comprehensive picture of complex circular systems can be compiled. Currently, progress of the CE discourse is hampered by a lack of a clear and systematic approach to what we refer to as the particle state and the product state. That is: whether to approach resource circulation from the perspective of elements, molecules or materials; or whether to adopt the perspective of products or finished goods. As these two perspectives are often implicit in current contributions to CE, we first articulate both approaches, before assessing their respective contributions and limitations. Next, we draw on material entropy and life cycle thinking to integrate both perspectives and develop a more comprehensive way of conceptualising resource states, in the form of the Resource States framework. We furthermore present how this framework can be used A) to clearly distinguish between circular strategies, as well as between different implementation scenarios of the same circular strategy; B) to systematically explore and map synergies and trade-offs between combinations of circular strategies; and C) to link circular strategies with structural waste present in a given context. Lastly, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the framework and reflect on how it advances the CE field.

Existing research on the sharing economy mainly involves three main aspects: the connotation of the sharing economy, the business model of the sharing economy, and the impact of the sharing economy. We begin by introducing the reasons why the sharing economy is booming and why customers from different positions participate in the sharing economy. Then we summarize the basic mechanisms of the consumer-to-consumer (C2C) and business-to-consumer (B2C) aspects of the sharing economy. Regarding the main causes of the sharing economy, we specifically focus on the impacts of the sharing economy on the environment, i.e., whether sharing economy is eco-friendly to the society. We consider product life cycle assessment (LCA) technology as one of the frontiers and key technologies in the fields of green design and green manufacturing. Furthermore, combined with the impact of COVID-19 on the sharing economy and the actual problems in real life, we present the future development directions of the sharing economy.

T3 - CSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance AB - Austria has emerged as one of the most successful European countries from the recent economic and financial crises. The country consistently displays high standards of security, environmental conservation, relatively little social inequality, good infrastructure, and a functioning welfare system. Its economic model, sometimes called the (eco) social market economy, seeks to balance economic and societal concerns and is rooted in a long established social partnership (denoting the formalized relationships between the government, employer, and employee interest groups). Given this firmly entrenched and institutionalized form of social solidarity, Austria has developed into a hidden champion in the field of CSR in several ways. Since 2003, institutional stakeholders, including the Austrian Business Council for Sustainable Development, the Austrian Economic Chambers and the Federation of Austrian Industries, together with several Austrian ministries and other stakeholders have jointly contributed to the firm establishment of CSR in Austria. In addition, a broad range of CSR focused academic and professional training programmes have developed in Austria, promoting skills and knowledge on responsible management practices. Austria also features a variety of internationally renowned cooperation programmes between municipalities, consultancies and companies to establish environmental management practices at the local level and maintains a successful system of grants and subsidies for environmental improvements. The latter have led to the successful implementation of more than 40,000 measures in Austrian companies over the past 20 years, even though they are not necessarily branded as CSR initiatives. Austria also chose an unconventional approach in the implementation of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive of the European Commission in Austria in 2016/2017. In addition to its translation into national law, the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism concluded a voluntary agreement on minimum standards for auditing sustainability reports with companies, consultancies and auditors (rather than setting guidelines for reporting about itself). This illustrates a certain propensity to employ unconventional and innovative approaches to embedding CSR.

T2 - Ecological Economics AB - Transformation to climate neutrality of the transport sector raises multiple challenges at a time, with potentially conflicting objectives and further external effects. This calls for a balanced policy package of which empirical assessment is needed in order to i) quantify its effectiveness and ii) reveal effects of potential overlaps and interactions associated with individual measures within the package. This paper analyses the economic, environmental and distributional effects of a policy package that supports low-carbon passenger transport in Austria, co-developed with policy experts and stakeholders. The package includes hard measures such as a mandated phase-out of conventional cars and explicit road pricing, as well as soft measures to foster the uptake of public transportation. To assess these packages we make use of a computable general equilibrium model for Austria that incorporates heterogeneous household groups, CO2 emissions and a detailed representation of the transport sector. We show that the decoupling of economic welfare and negative external effects of passenger transport is possible with a balanced policy package. Our analysis also highlights potential urban-rural conflicts, regressive impacts and negative public budget implications of single policy measures, issues that the suggested policy package as a whole can mitigate.

This option enables employees to individually choose between a wage increase and additional leisure time. Based on qualitative interviews, this article studies the unions’ view on this novel instrument, as well as the motives of employees who were given the possibility to decide for the leisure option. It can be shown that the unions regard this instrument as an innovative tool that supports the individual organisation of working time. The interviews with employees suggest that the leisure option indeed facilitates the realisation of employees’ individual needs for more leisure and flexible time organisation. However, the analysis also reveals the limits of individualised working-time policies.

Considering the ‘sharing economy’ as an umbrella construct and an essentially contested concept, we position the sharing economy as resting on three foundational cores: (1) Access economy, (2) Platform economy, and (3) Community-based economy. We show how each core holds distinct promises and paradoxes. This organizing framework shows how combining the cores can help sharing-economy initiatives to navigate certain tensions, but can also lead to new ones. We highlight the paradoxical nature of the sharing economy and make a case for balanced initiatives that combine the promises of each core while mitigating contradictions. We conclude by introducing the nine articles of the special issue, connecting their contributions to our organizing framework.

However, there exists great semantic confusion within academic literature surrounding the term “sharing economy,” which threatens the realisation of its purported sustainability potential. (2) Objective: The aim of this paper is to synthesise the existing academic definitions and propose a definition of the sharing economy from the perspective of sustainability science in order to indicate sharing practices that are consistent with the sustainability claims attributed to the sharing economy. (3) Methods: We conduct a database search to collect relevant academic articles. Then, we leverage qualitative content analysis in order to analyse the authors’ definitions and to synthesise the broad dimensions of the sharing economy in the discourse. (4) Results: We propose the following characteristics, or semantic properties, of the sharing economy for sustainability: ICT-mediated, non-pecuniary motivation for ownership, temporary access, rivalrous and tangible goods. (5) Conclusion: The semantic properties that inform our definition of the sharing economy for sustainability indicate those sharing practices that promote sustainable consumption compared to purely market-based exchanges. This definition is relevant for academics studying the sustainability impacts of the sharing economy in order to promote comparability and compatibility in research. Furthermore, the definition is useful for policy-makers, entrepreneurs, managers and consumers that have the sharing economy on the agenda in order to promote social enterprise and support sustainable consumption.

A vast literature is available on the social acceptance of specific renewable energy technologies, but existing research lacks assessments regarding comprehensive transformations to local energy systems. Moreover, the promising energy storage technology power-to-gas has not yet been addressed in acceptance studies. This paper fills these gaps by analysing data from a choice experiment survey with 2000 respondents across four nations (Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland). Results from the analysis show that solar farms and power-to-gas infrastructure increase acceptance of local energy communities, while wind farms have an ambiguous effect, and gas power plants and power lines decrease acceptance. The derived monthly willingness to pay estimates for the acceptance-increasing technologies ranges from 8.5€ for power-to-gas to 29.5€ for photovoltaics. Additionally, we investigate whether stated support from political opinion leaders at the local, national, and EU levels can increase the acceptance of renewable energy systems. Results suggest that Italian choices are influenced by the opinions of EU and national governmental bodies (+3.5% and +2.7%), and that Swiss choices are sensitive to the opinions of local politicians (+2.3%).

We identify indispensable aspects of the sharing economy to show its potential in fostering sustainability. This is in some contrast to existing definitions and applications of sharing economy business models, which do not place sustainability in their focus. The studies employ a variety of methods, covering quantitative and qualitative research to investigate building of communities on the consumer side, as well as trust-building and implementation of regulations in the interaction between providers and consumers in Asia and Europe. Some areas in the sharing economy foster sustainability, some foster social cohesion and in the end build social capital, but others focus at first sight on convenience and lifestyle.

AU - Krausmann, Fridolin AU - Getzner, Michael AU - Schandl, Heinz AU - West, Jim T2 - PLOS ONE AB - Economic development and growth depend on growing levels of resource use, and result in environmental impacts from large scale resource extraction and emissions of waste. In this study, we examine the resource dependency of economic activities over the past several decades for a set of countries comprising developing, emerging and mature industrialized economies. Rather than a single universal industrial development pathway, we find a diversity of economic dependencies on material use, made evident through cluster analysis. We conduct tests for relative and absolute decoupling of the economy from material use, and compare these with similar tests for decoupling from carbon emissions, both for single countries and country groupings using panel analysis. We show that, over the longer term, emerging and developing countries tend to have significantly larger material-economic coupling than mature industrialized economies (although this effect may be enhanced by trade patterns), but that the contrary is true for short-term coupling. Moreover, we demonstrate that absolute dematerialization limits economic growth rates, while the successful industrialization of developing countries inevitably requires a strong material component. Alternative development priorities are thus urgently needed both for mature and emerging economies: reducing absolute consumption levels for the former, and avoiding the trap of resource-intensive economic and human development for the latter.

This paper quantifies carbon impacts of consumer choices of retail channel and shop location (where to buy), extending footprint assessments of product choices (what to buy). Carbon emissions of shopping situations are shown in the current situation, in a business-as-usual projection in 2020, and in policy scenarios with changed market shares of shopping situations. The analysis covers the product categories: groceries, clothing, and electronics & computers, from the shopping situations: neighborhood store, town center, discount store, shopping mall, and mail order/online selling. Stages of the product life cycle which differ between shopping situations are examined: freight transport, warehousing, store operation, and the last mile of the consumers' trip to the store. Carbon emissions of shopping situations amount to 2.7% of overall Austrian emissions in the base year. Dominant car use on the last mile substantially contributes to the overall footprint. In the business-as-usual scenario, carbon emissions from shopping situations increase by +33% until 2020, corresponding to 4.2% of the overall Austrian emissions target for 2020. Restricting shopping malls or supporting neighborhood stores could limit this increase to +25% and +20%, respectively. Facilitating online selling achieves no notable effects. The study underlines that an absolute reduction in private demand for household goods is necessary, as available policy instruments aiming at shopping situations fail to compensate the steady growth in private consumption.

AU - Delgado, Francisco J. AU - Freire-González, Jaume AU - Presno, Maria J. T2 - Economic Analysis and Policy AB - Environmental taxation has been a permanent feature of the policy agenda over the past few decades. It has represented about 2.5 percent of GDP and 6 percent of total taxation in the EU in recent years. In this paper, we study the evolution of total environmental taxation and its two main subcategories, energy and transport taxes, as a percentage of GDP and as a share of total taxation in the EU, through a club convergence analysis of the period 1995–2016. From the GDP perspective, the results show three groups of countries or clubs for the total environmental taxation and only two clubs for the two other categories analysed. Considering the taxation structure perspective, two clusters emerge for the total environmental taxes, three for the energy case and only one for the transport taxation, denoting overall convergence in this case. These results indicate a high grade of convergence in environmental taxation in the EU.

T2 - Österreichische Wasser- und Abfallwirtschaft AB - Das Konzept der Kreislaufwirtschaft befindet sich seit 2015 als einer der wichtigsten Punkte auf der europäischen Agenda. Infolgedessen wurde auch die Forschung zur Rolle von Unternehmen in der Umstellung auf eine Kreislaufwirtschaft in den letzten Jahren erheblich intensiviert. Bislang wird die wissenschaftliche Literatur jedoch von konzeptionellen Arbeiten dominiert und die verfügbare empirische Forschung besteht hauptsächlich aus Einzel- oder Mehrfachfallstudien. Empirische Studien, die auf größeren Stichproben beruhen, sind selten und bisher hat keine Studie den Stand der Umsetzung der Kreislaufwirtschaft in österreichischen Unternehmen zum Gegenstand gehabt. Diese Forschungslücke wird durch die vorliegende Studie geschlossen, die die Ergebnisse von Telefoninterviews mit 120 GeschäftsführerInnen und 100 Nachhaltigkeitsverantwortlichen österreichischer Unternehmen darlegt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf Unternehmen des produzierenden Gewerbes. Die Interviewfragen wurden aus der Literatur abgeleitet und bauen auf etablierten Konzepten wie den 10-Rs oder dem ReSOLVE Framework auf. Die Ergebnisse geben erstens Aufschluss über die strategische Kreislaufwirtschaftsorientierung österreichischer Unternehmen, indem sie detailliert aufzeigen, inwieweit Überlegungen zur Kreislaufwirtschaft in Unternehmensstrategien, Innovationen, Humankapital und Geschäftsführung integriert sind. Zweitens wird der Grad der Umsetzung von 26 spezifischen kreislaufwirtschafts- und nachhaltigkeitsorientierten Praktiken dargestellt. Diese Praktiken decken eine vollständige Lebenszyklusperspektive ab und umfassen Interventionen in verschiedenen Unternehmensbereichen. So wird beispielsweise dargestellt, inwieweit sich Unternehmen für ein nachhaltiges Lieferkettenmanagement engagieren, ihr Produktdesign ändern (z. B. Design für Recycling/Wiederverwendung/Reparatur, …), ihre Produktion optimieren (z. B. Verwendung von Rezyklaten, Schließung interner Ressourcenkreisläufe, …), ihre Geschäftsmodelle ändern (z. B. durch Dematerialisierung oder den Verkauf von Nebenprodukten) oder Post-Consumer-Produkte wiederverwenden bzw. rezyklieren. Drittens wird aufgezeigt, wie CEOs die Auswirkungen der Umsetzung dieser Strategien auf die finanzielle und nachhaltige Gesamtleistung ihrer Unternehmen bewerten. Abschließend wird dargestellt, wie die CEOs die Bereitschaft des österreichischen Marktes für die Kreislaufwirtschaft einschätzen. Dazu wird aufgezeigt, wie die Befragten den Wettbewerbsdruck, die technologischen Entwicklungen und die Nachfrage nach zirkulären Produkten bewerten.

In using the tool of structural decomposition analysis and applying it to Austrian RMC between 1995 and 2007, three specific drivers (technology, composition, and volume of final demand) are identified and quantified. The overall growth of Austrian RMC across the period of time under investigation shows that neither improved production or consumption efficiency nor reduction of consumption alone can lead to absolute material savings. The “rebound effect” has been used to describe how efficiency gains can be offset by growth in overall consumption, putting “degrowth” on the agenda of sustainability sciences and political movements. Absolute decoupling, that is, simultaneous growth in gross domestic product (GDP) and reduction of RMC, can only be achieved if reductions in final demand volume as a driver of material use are not offset by increases as a result of the changing final demand mix and/or technology effect (and vice versa). The Austrian case study provides very little evidence for such developments having occurred simultaneously during the period of time under investigation. In order for economic degrowth to contribute to lower material use and thus greater environmental protection, it must occur not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively in production and consumption structures.

T2 - Globalizations AB - Popular authors and international organizations recommend transformation to a ‘new economy’. However, this is misleadingly interpreted as radical or revolutionary. Two problematic positions are revealed: being pro-growth while seeking to change the current form of capitalism (e.g. Ha-Joon Chang), and being anti-growth on environmental grounds but promoting growth for poverty alleviation and due to agnosticism about growth (e.g. Tim Jackson and Kate Raworth). Both positions involve contradictions and an evident failure to address, or perhaps even a denial of, the actual operations of capital accumulating economies. Thus, economists ostensibly critical of capitalism turn out to be apologists for growth who conform to the requirements of a top-down passive revolution, that leaves power relations undisturbed and the economic structure fundamentally unchanged. The growth economy is shown to include technocracy, productivism associated with eugenics, inequity disguised as meritocracy, competition concealing militarism and imperialism, imposition of development as progress, and financialization and commodification of Nature.

Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die Beiträge in diesem Band thematisch verortet. Die genannten Praktiken des Reparierens, Selbermachens und des Längernutzens werden als Phänomene von Bottom-up-Initiativen gedeutet, die vornehmlich in der öffentlichen Sphäre beheimatet sind und von einem zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagement profitieren. Ihre aktuell vergleichsweise marginale Bedeutung ist historisch durch die Durchsetzung fordistischer Produktionsregime und dazugehöriger ressourcenvernutzenden Konsumtionsweisen bedingt. Aktuelle Initiativen des Kreislaufwirtschaftens stellen dahingegen Top-down-Strategien dar, in denen Akteur*innen vor allem aus der Politik und der Wirtschaft einen nachhaltigen Umgang mit Ressourcen mit Hilfe von Kommodifizierungsstrategien vorantreiben. Inwiefern die genannten Bottom-up- und Top down-Prozesse gut miteinander verknüpft werden können und inwiefern die genannten Praktiken wie auch die Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategien wirksame Alternativen zu den Regimen der Massenproduktion und -konsumtion sein können, lässt sich bislang noch nicht abschließend beurteilen.

V. AU - Salomone, Roberta T2 - Sustainable Production and Consumption AB - Since the publication of the European Union's Circular Economy Action Plan in 2015, this new sustainability paradigm has become a guiding force behind the environmental and economic policies of the Junker Commission. The European Union (EU) has taken a particular approach to circularity, with high expectations to increase competitiveness, promote economic growth and create jobs while reducing environmental impacts and resource dependency. However, the circular economy (CE) is a contested paradigm, for which many competing interpretations exist, each seeking varying degrees of social, ecological and political transformation. Considering the emerging and contested state of the academic literature on CE, the EU's embrace of the concept is a remarkable phenomenon, which remains poorly researched. The aim of this paper is thus to address this research gap by analysing the CE discourse and policies of the Junker Commission (2014-2019) in order to critically discuss their sustainability implications and develop key policy recommendations. To do so, this research uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The paper first critically analyses the EU's discourse based on a typology of circularity discourses. It then reviews the complex set of concrete CE policies and actions adopted by the EU and compares them to its discourse. Results show a dichotomy between words and actions, with a discourse that is rather holistic, while policies focus on “end of pipe” solutions and do not address the many socio-ecological implications of a circularity transition. Several actions are thus recommended to tackle the systemic challenges of a circular future from a plural perspective.

Even in today's most developed capitalist societies, people produce things that are not for sale and allocate them through sharing, gifts, and redistribution rather than buying and selling. This article is about why and how ecological economists should study these non-market economies. Historically, markets only emerge when states forcibly create them; community members do not tend to spontaneously start selling each other goods and services. Markets work well for coordinating complex industrial webs to satisfy individual tastes, but they are not appropriate for governing the production or distribution of entities that are non-rival, non-excludable, not produced for sale, essential need satisfiers, or culturally important. Moreover, we argue, markets do not serve justice, sustainability, efficiency, or value pluralism, the foundations of ecological economics. We sketch an agenda for research on economic practices and institutions without markets by posing nine broad questions about non-market food systems and exploring the evidence and theory around each. By ignoring and demeaning non-market economies, researchers contribute to creating markets' dominance over social life. Observing, analyzing, theorizing, supporting, promoting, creating, and envisioning non-market economies challenges market hegemony.

We observe the need for a comprehensive analytical framework to assess the challenges associated with local energy transitions: we thus propose integrating key aspects of Transition Management (TM) and the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) into the Regional Innovations Systems (RIS) framework. The resulting blended framework enables policy learning through discourse and interaction between governance and implementation levels, a key prerequisite towards creating the necessary framework conditions for local innovation and transformation. The application of this novel blended framework to the case of two municipalities in Austria, one urban and one rural, shows local measures, building on local knowledge, having great potential to foster local low-carbon energy transitions: this is seen in strong social networks and in dedicated local transition change makers, creatively circumventing issues such as the lack of financial resources. Yet, existing regulatory and institutional conditions at the national and state levels often hinder the local implementation. We argue that the limited power of agency of regional policymaking are a major stumbling block to local energy transitions, thus increasing the need for vertical policy integration and learning.

While some scholarly work has been carried out on barriers towards a circular economy, there are relatively few academic studies on policies that may accelerate a transition towards a circular economy. Those that focus on policies mostly scrutinize existing policies. The study at hand utilizes data from semi-structured interviews with 47 public and private sector circular economy experts from the European Union to explore expectations regarding circular economy policies, with expectations possibly going beyond existing policies. Expectations identified via this work include more robust standards and norms in production, expansion of circular procurement, tax relief for circular products, liberalization of waste trading and its facilitation through virtual platforms, support for eco-industrial parks, and awareness campaigns. The set of policy recommendations is presented from a life-cycle perspective that is necessary for a transition towards a circular economy. The study aims to contribute to the nascent body of circular economy literature concerning policies and may be of particular interest to practitioners.

This policy push has meanwhile been complemented by some quite ambitious national programmes for RE and CE and institutional advances but it is not yet bound to targets or mandatory reporting. Against this background, the objective of this paper is to give a comprehensive overview of the current policy frameworks at EU and a selection of MSs and provide insights into the elements shaping policy processes. The analytical framework relies on three essential interconnected components: the policy framework, the economic incentive system and economic side policies which are relevant in the context of RE and CE and actor constellations. The paper does this looking at the interface between EU-MSs. The analysis is based on different empirical surveys in which the policy development is observed and discussed (EEA 2011, 2016a, 2016b, EIO 2013, 2014, 2016) and a comprehensive review of legislative and policy frameworks at the EU and selected MSs, undertaken as part of the project POLFREE (Policy option for a Resource-Efficient Economy) (Domenech et al., 2014, Bahn-Walkowiak et al., 2014). The analysis reveals that policy frameworks for RE/CE are complex and fragmented as competing goals and visions reduce effectiveness of measures. The paper makes recommendations as to how EU and MS policies could improve RE in a coordinated way, but recognizes that achieving such coordination will be challenging in the current political context.

Interest in the concept of Circular Economy has surged in recent years among policy makers and business actors. An increasing amount of literature touches upon the conceptualisation of Circular Economy, the development of ‘circular solutions’ and circular business models, and policies for a Circular Economy. However, relevant studies on resource efficiency policies mostly utilise a case-by-case or sector-by-sector approach and do not consider the systemic interdependencies of the underlying operational policy framework. In this contribution, a mapping of the existing resource policy framework in the European Union (EU) is undertaken, and used as a basis for identifying policy areas that have been less prominent in influencing material resource efficiency. Employing a life cycle approach, policies affecting material efficiency in the production and consumption stages of a product have been found to be poorly utilised so far in the EU. Taking this as a point of departure, three policy areas that can contribute to closing material loops and increasing resource efficiency are thoroughly discussed and their application challenges are highlighted. The three policy areas are: (1) policies for reuse, repair and remanufacturing; (2) green public procurement and innovation procurement; and (3) policies for improving secondary materials markets. Finally, a potential policy mix, including policy instruments from the three mentioned policy areas—together with policy mixing principles—is presented to outline a possible pathway for transitioning to Circular Economy policy making.

It is based on the hypotheses that (1) the current tax system penalizes circular activities, which are generally labour intensive, as opposed to new product manufacturing activities, which are generally intensive in materials and energy, highly automated and robotized, and (2) that the environmental taxation implemented in recent decades is unable to introduce significant changes to stop climate change or keep the economy within planetary ecological limits. This article examines the basis of an alternative tax system and tax instruments for correcting the current linear economy bias and driving the transition to a circular economy. Proposals are developed for both structural and partial reforms of the fiscal system, focusing on tax measures that can be implemented in the medium or short term to boost a circular economy. More specifically, we suggest a complete redesign of the currently opaque and significant amount of tax expenditure to transform environmentally harmful tax benefits into environmentally friendly tax measures that are suitable for the circular economy.

An Exploration of Diverging Techno-Political Choices AU - Hausknost, Daniel AU - Schriefl, Ernst AU - Lauk, Christian AU - Kalt, Gerald T2 - Sustainability AB - To date the concept of the bioeconomy—an economy based primarily on biogenic instead of fossil resources—has largely been associated with visions of “green growth” and the advancement of biotechnology and has been framed from within an industrial perspective. However, there is no consensus as to what a bioeconomy should effectively look like, and what type of society it would sustain. In this paper, we identify different types of narratives constructed around this concept and carve out the techno-political implications they convey. We map these narratives on a two-dimensional option space, which allows for a rough classification of narratives and their related imaginaries into four paradigmatic quadrants. We draw the narratives from three different sources: (i) policy documents of national and supra-national authorities; (ii) stakeholder interviews; and (iii) scenarios built in a biophysical modelling exercise. Our analysis shows that there is a considerable gap between official policy papers and visions supported by stakeholders. At least in the case of Austria there is also a gap between the official strategies and the option space identified through biophysical modelling. These gaps testify to the highly political nature of the concept of the bioeconomy and the diverging visions of society arising from it.

On a large-scale, this can mainly be achieved through electricity from wind and sun, which are subject to intermittency. To efficiently integrate this variable energy, a coupling of the power sector to the residential, transport, industry, and commercial/trade sector is often promoted, called sector coupling (SC). Nevertheless, our literature review indicates that SC is frequently misinterpreted and its scope varies among available research, from exclusively considering the use of excess renewable electricity to a rather holistic view of integrated energy systems, including excess heat or even biomass sources. The core objective of this article is to provide a thorough understanding of the SC concept through an analysis of its origin and its main purpose, as described in the current literature. We provide a structured categorization of SC, derived from our findings, and critically discuss its remaining challenges as well as its value for renewable energy systems. We find that SC is rooted in the increasing use of variable renewable energy sources, and its main assets are the flexibility it provides for renewable energy systems, decarbonization potential for fossil-fuel-based end-consumption sectors, and consequently, reduced dependency on oil and gas extracting countries. However, the enabling technologies face great challenges in their economic feasibility because of the uncertain future development of competing solutions.

While foundational thinking offers rich concepts and policies to transition towards such transformation, it fails to grasp the systematic non-sustainability of capitalism. This weakness can be overcome by enriching contemporary foundational thinking with feminist and ecological economics. Whereas the feminist critique problematises foundational thinking’s focus on paid labour, the ecological critique targets Sen’s capability approach as a key inspiration of foundational thinking, arguing that a theory of human needs is better suited to conceptualise wellbeing within planetary boundaries. Based on this, we outline a novel schema of economic zones and discuss their differentiated contributions to the satisfaction of human needs. By privileging need satisfaction, such broadened foundational thinking demotes the tradable sector and rentier economy, thereby revaluating unpaid work as well as respecting ecological imperatives. This empowers new articulations of social and ecological struggles to improve living conditions in the short run, while having the potential in the long run to undermine capitalism from within.
