Europe Hub

The STEPS Europe Hub builds on longstanding joint work on transformations and resilience, and how technology, innovation and politics relate to concepts around systemic social-ecological issues. The material in this section draws on the collaboration between the STEPS Centre and the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) in Sweden, as well as work generated by STEPS Centre researchers that is particularly relevant to Europe.

This section remains as an archive of work up to 2021, but for more information on current activities at the SRC, visit the Stockholm Resilience Centre website.

Paper: Transforming Innovation for Sustainability

A radical new approach to innovation is urged in this paper by STEPS, Stockholm Resilience Centre and Tellus Institute. Keeping human societies within a ‘safe operating space’ is urgently needed, but delivering on this requires a radically new approach to innovation, that gives far greater recognition and power to grassroots actors and processes, involving them within an inclusive, multi-scale innovation politics.
