Webinar: Transition Management

Summary

Since its foundation in 2001, Transition Management has been applied to diverse sustainability issues, policy contexts, and geographical scales. The approach provides a portfolio of tools that have as a common objective to enable change in practices and structures directed towards sustainable development targets, like the sustainable transformation of our energy system.

To learn more about Transition Management, we connect with DRIFT, a leading research institute in the field of sustainability transitions that develops and shares transformative knowledge. DRIFT has led numerous transition processes with government, business, civil society, and science to support and empower actors to proactively engage with transitions in Europe and beyond.

As the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat's approach builds on Transition Management, this first webinar revisits its main principles and how they are implemented, learning from experiences from past and ongoing projects of DRIFT.
