Abstract
Sustainable policy transitions require a shift towards more collaborative societal
values coupled with a sustainability supportive fiscal framework. The materialisation
of sustainable policies and practices in the field of energy, the environment and
health also require the establishment of building blocks for a more empowered,
informed and vibrant civil society in addressing sustainable development challenges.
Policymaking processes also need to follow participatory, subsidiarity and
place-based governance principles (Barca 2009; Stead 2014). Moreover,
eco-innovation practices can only succeed if all involved actors (SMEs and large
companies, research institutions, consumers, etc.) proactively contribute to this
transition towards a more sustainable territorial development pattern (Bontoux and
Bengtsson 2015). Finally, the physical renovation of buildings to improve energy
efficiency and the production of clean energy renders a tangible platform to
materialise these intended sustainable policy transitions (Kanters and Wall 2014).
