Based on the results of our research, we have developed a reliable and valid scale for assessing the innovation success of sustainable development practices, with a specific focus on reducing drinking water consumption in the production sector, where so-called industrial water is used (for...

Creativity is a new paradigm of development, which connects society in its economic, culture, technological and social aspects at the macro and micro level. Creativity, knowledge and access to information are central points of this paradigm and are considered to be engines of economic growth in...

The purpose of this article is to contribute for the debate about the construction of governance spaces which guarantee the continuity of the regional development public policies, thus articulating actors and optimizing strategic projects in order to improve regional competitiveness ans...

This paper studies the implications for climate policy of the interactions between environmental and knowledge externalities. Using a numerical analysis performed with the hybrid integrated assessment model WITCH, extended to include mutual spillovers between the energy and the non-energy...

This paper identifies over 50 000 patents filed worldwide in various water-related adaptation technologies between 1990 and 2010, distinguishing between those related to water availability (supply) and water conservation (demand) technologies. The paper then analyses the innovation activity –...

Environmental policy discussions increasingly focus on issues related to technological change. This is partly because the environmental consequences of social activity are frequently affected by the rate and direction of technological change, and partly because environmental policy interventions...

In theory, innovation processes lie behind the evolution of national systems as they create interacting dynamics among organisations. Institutions and policies are considered means for influencing these interactive dynamics, such as shifting innovative focus from traditional to environmentally...

Diese Studie untersucht die Transformation zu nachhaltiger Wasser-Governance anhand eines sozial-ökologischen Konflikts in Petorca (Chile). Die Autorin deckt die Mechanismen hinter einer marktbasierten institutionellen Struktur auf, die das Vertrauen zwischen den Akteuren schwächen sowie...
