Net-zero cities seem straightforward, right? Just remove carbon. But when asking people what it means to them, you get plural views. See our new paper on framing analysis of @MonashUni net-zero precinct and its implications for urban transition management. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
What new roles are local governments experimenting with to engage households in low-waste city transitions? Read more in our recent publication. It will be part of a special issue on household innovation and agency in sustainability transitions. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What does sustainability labour in the home entail, and who is doing it? Thoroughly enjoy working with @Prof_JoLindsay who led this publication in Sociology - another outcome of our ARC DP project on Low Waste Living. @RuthLane9 @PlasticFreePhD @MonashMSDI @UUCopernicus
We know intermediaries are important in sustainability transitions, but how is their agency affected by institutional contexts? Alex Nordt explores this in case studies on local government commitments to fleet electrification and cycling infrastructure. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
