Resilience Thinking as an Interdisciplinary Guiding Principle for Energy System Transitions

摘要: Resource usage and environmental consequences of most current energy systems exceed planetary boundaries. The transition to sustainable is accompanied by a multitude research methods, as are complex structures technical, economical, social ecological interactions. description different discipline’s perspectives in this paper show that more mutual understanding between disciplines their respective focus necessary they partly create internally competitive views arising from differing emphasis connected matters. purpose present framework for interdisciplinary proceeding system process. Resilience thinking chosen core concept holistic view on development. It shown it already widely used especially suitable due its wide application across disciplines. seven principles resilience (maintain redundancy diversity, manage connectivity, slow variables feedback, foster adaptive thinking, encourage learning, broaden participation, promote polycentric governance systems) the basis procedure can be utilized increase transitions. For processes based scenario development, backcasting pathway definition, assess target system, design process with respect probability resilient outcome. described consisting questions parameters applied first attempt assessment processes. perspective strengthens importance flexibility, which reduces dominant efficiency overall system.
