• Publication 17 September 2021 A functional analysis of the role of input suppliers in an agricultural innovation system: The case of small-scale irrigation in Kenya CONTEXT: As a direct link between farmers and manufacturers of technologies, the characteristics and activities of input suppliers can be expected to play an important role in the generation and diffusion of innovations in agricultural systems. While the agricultural innovation systems (AIS) literature recognises the importance of input suppliers, there are few studies from the Global South assessing the nature and implications of their activities. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to improve…
• 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…

• Publication 17 September 2021 Dual embeddedness? Innovation capabilities, multinational subsidiaries, and solar power development in South Africa One longstanding strand of research in the development studies literature has concerned itself with the development of innovation capabilities in developing-country firms. As most of this literature focuses on domestic firms, foreign-owned firms, such as subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNC), have received much less attention. In this paper, we address this knowledge gap by conducting an in-depth study exploring the learning and capability-building trajectory of a single MNC subsidiary…
• Publication 16 September 2021 The role of interactive learning in innovation capability building in multinational subsidiaries: A micro-level study of biotechnology in Brazil Although multinational enterprises (MNEs) from advanced economies have increasingly internationalised their innovation activities, including R&D, into emerging economies, we have an incomplete understanding of how subsidiaries in these contexts create the technological capabilities to innovate. Based on a single-case qualitative study of a Brazilian subsidiary of a large biotechnology MNE (1989-2016), we found that: (1) the subsidiary’s technological capability-building, from production…
• Publication 16 September 2021 Corporate community engagement professionals in the renewable energy industry Renewable energy companies increasingly employ community engagement professionals tasked with facilitating dialogue and collaborative activities with communities in project areas. Situated at the interface between corporate renewable energy production and community needs and grievances, these practitioners occupy a potentially significant position in the everyday implementation of socially just energy transitions. In this article we contribute to the understanding of corporate community…
• Publication 14 September 2021 Indigenous Peoples and Climate Technologies This guidebook is produced as part of the GEF-Funded Global Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project, which is implemented by UNEP and UNEP DTU Partnership. Since 2009, close to one hundred countries have joined the Global TNA Project. Indigenous peoples’ knowledge of climate resilience and their global contribution to a sustainable management of our shared natural resources are critical to combating climate change and its impacts. Yet, their contribution often remains unacknowledged, and too…
• News 14 September 2021 New guide: Climate Tech in an urban context Cities are not only home to growing consumption and production activities, making them large consumers of energy and major greenhouse gas emitters, they also face major challenges from climate change impacts, including heatwaves, pluvial and river flooding, coastal flooding and coastal erosion, droughts and water scarcity, vector-borne diseases, wildfires and windstorms. Active participation from cities around the world is critical to defining and implementing a system-wide technology…
