长期以来，在减缓气候变化的实践和理论中，促进低碳创新一直是一个核心问题。然而，深度锁定表明，现有的碳密集型系统不会仅靠创新来取代或重新配置。越来越多的研究和实际举措表明，缓解努力将需要应对碳密集型系统及其组成部分(例如技术和做法)的刻意减少。然而，尽管人们意识到了这一点，但人们对故意减少脱碳的作用仍然知之甚少，这一领域的文献继续分散在不同的研究机构和学科中。作为回应，这篇文章构建了研究的支离破碎的链条，涉及有目的的衰落，质疑它在脱碳中可能扮演的角色。它通过系统地调查与故意衰落特别相关的概念来做到这一点，重点是逐步淘汰、撤资和不稳定。
Promoting low‐carbon innovation has long been a central preoccupation within both the practice and theory of climate change mitigation. However, deep lock‐ins indicate that existing carbon‐intensive systems will not be displaced or reconfigured by innovation alone. A growing number of studies and practical initiatives suggest that mitigation efforts will need to engage with the deliberate decline of carbon‐intensive systems and their components (e.g., technologies and practices). Yet, despite this realisation, the role of intentional decline in decarbonization remains poorly understood and the literature in this area continues to be dispersed among different bodies of research and disciplines. In response, this article structures the fragmented strands of research engaging with purposive decline, interrogating the role it may play in decarbonization. It does so by systematically surveying concepts with particular relevance for intentional decline, focusing on phase‐out, divestment, and destabilization.
