• Publication 17 September 2021 When policy mixes meet firm diversification: sugar-industry investment in bagasse cogeneration in Mexico (2007–2020) In the literature on sustainability transitions, increasing attention has been devoted to the conceptualization and analysis of policy mixes. However, previous research has scarcely examined the relationship between policy mixes and their effects on the actors being targeted. Furthermore, it has neglected the issue of the heterogeneity of target groups and its effect on their responses to policy mixes. In this paper, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by developing a conceptual framework…
• News 16 September 2021 World is off track to meet Paris Agreement climate targets COVID-19 did not slow the relentless advance of climate change.
