The road towards sustainability poses many challenges. There are many areas of human needs to be dealt with such as food, fresh water, health, shelter, mobility, energy, and many others. On top, there are many dimensions on which sustainability needs to be achieved, including technical, socio-economic, cultural, spatial, environmental preservation, distribution of wealth, etc.Achieving sustainability in the broad sense therefore requires a dazzling multitude of changes. One of the approaches suggests that an encompassing set of transformations will be needed that have been referred to by analysts from different disciplinary backgrounds using a variety of concepts. Some of the best known include ‘system innovation’,‘regime transformation’,‘industrial transformation’,‘technological transition’,‘socio-economic paradigm shift’. We use the shorter phrase ‘transition’to cover all of these in this article.
