本文开发了使用分支点的概念作为一种工具,以支持重新定位系统的可持续性的关键决策,并将其应用于在英国的热脱碳的替代途径的情况下。在这种方法中,路径被视为由许多具体决定的积累产生的,这些决定在特定方向上产生动力,从而加强了路径的不可逆转性。分支点是连接到系统开发路径的关键决策点,它们“决定是否以及以何种方式遵循路径”[1]。然而,分支点不是预先定义的岔路口,在不确定和复杂的环境中,识别和塑造潜在的分支点可能是支持和实现可持续发展转型的一部分。本文展示了将分支点分析发展成为支持和帮助结构转型决策的工具的潜力。提出了一个三步的过程来分析过渡途径之间的连接,并应用到英国热脱碳的案例研究:一个过渡的进展。第一步:确定相关的社会技术途径及其系统和发展特征;第2步绘制途径之间的潜在连接点;第3步将其分解为途径之间的协调和竞争空间。这一分析强调并回应了由全部门目标制定的政策方针与制定不同的社会技术对策之间的差距。这项研究开发了一种战略政策方法,以支持脱碳的发展,重点是发展途径之间的潜在连接点。
This paper develops the use of the branching point concept as a tool to support key decisions for reorienting systems for sustainability and applies this to the case of alternative pathways for heat decarbonisation in the UK. In this approach, a pathway is seen as arising from accumulation of many specific decisions which create momentum in a particular direction and so reinforce the irreversibility of the pathway. Branching points are key decision-points connected to pathways of system development, they “determine whether and in what ways the pathway is followed” [1]. However branching points are not pre-defined forks in the road, and in uncertain and complex settings, recognising and shaping potential branching points may be part of supporting and enabling transitions to sustainability.This paper demonstrates the potential to develop branching point analysis into a tool to support and help structure policy decisions for transition. A three-step process to analyse connections between transition pathways is proposed and applied to a case study of UK heat decarbonisation: a transition-in-progress. Step 1: identifying relevant socio-technical pathways and their system and development characteristics; Step 2 mapping potential connection points between pathways; Step 3 unpacking these as spaces of co-ordination and competition between the pathways. This analysis highlights and responds to a gap between a policy approach framed by a sector-wide target and the development of distinct socio-technical responses. This research develops a strategic policy approach, for supporting developments for decarbonisation focused on potential connection points between pathways of development.
