Change agents and sustainability transformations in the water sector

追求可持续发展是澳大利亚社区面临的一大挑战。迫切需要系统转型，而不仅仅是渐进式的变革。虽然我们知道如何孵化本土创新，但我们还不太清楚创新如何被规模化以改变制度。该项目旨在了解变革推动者如何影响系统变革，以及他们的行动如何能够被当地条件和治理安排所启用和约束。它的重点是致力于促进城市水创新和系统变革的变革推动者。我们希望发展关于地方政府和其他行为者必须部署的能力和资源的新知识，以实现澳大利亚的可持续发展转型。

The pursuit of sustainable development is a major challenge for Australian communities. System transformations are urgently needed, not just incremental change. While we know much about how to incubate local innovation, how innovation can be scaled to transform systems is not well understood. This project aims to understand how change agents can influence system transformations and how their actions can be enabled and constrained by local conditions and governance arrangements. Its focus is on change agents working to promote urban water innovations and system change. We hope to develop new knowledge on the capabilities and resources that local governments and other actors must deploy to achieve sustainability transformations in Australia.
