过渡管理文献研究了如何将长期过渡引向更大的可持续性。然而,它主要采取了部门办法,忽视了环境变化与不同部门政策动态之间的潜在关系。本文探讨了以色列水和能源部门的并行和相互关联的动态相结合的见解,从文献上的政策动态,过渡管理,共同进化和政策整合。所制定的办法审查了部门转型如何可能耦合和技术制度可能共同演变。以色列自建国以来一直在与水、能源和其他稀缺资源作斗争。连续干旱年、河流流量损失、沿海含水层盐碱化和严重污染是水管理者面临的问题,而空气污染、进口化石燃料和碳排放是突出的能源问题。水和能源部门都处于转型期,因为早期的政策导致了社会引起的稀缺、环境资产的退化和应对未来挑战的适应能力的丧失。目前解决水和能源短缺问题的办法是围绕技术配置发展的,这些配置强调传统的供应方解决办法,如海水淡化和增加发电厂。如果没有明确的一体化过渡管理,它们可能很难改变。
Transition Management literature has examined how long-term transitions could be directed toward greater sustainability. However, it has mostly taken a sectoral approach which neglects the potential relationships between environmental changes and policy dynamics in different sectors. This paper examines parallel and interrelated dynamics in the Israeli water and energy sectors by combining insights from the literature on policy dynamics, transition management, co-evolution, and policy integration. The developed approach examines how sectoral transitions may be coupled and technological regimes may co-evolve. Israel has battled water, energy and other scarcities from its formation. Consecutive dry years, the loss of stream flows, salinization of the coastal aquifer, and severe pollution are problems facing water managers, while air pollution, imported fossil fuels and carbon emissions are salient energy issues. Water and energy sectors are both in transition because earlier policies have resulted in socially-induced scarcity, degradation of environmental assets and loss of adaptive capacity to respond to future challenges. Current approaches to water and energy scarcities have evolved around technological configurations which emphasize traditional supply side solutions such as seawater desalination and additional power plants. They may be difficult to change without explicit integrative transitions management.
