Developing scenarios for transitions Sample Clauses

Developing scenarios for transitions to sustainable workplaces in Europe After obtaining a comprehensive picture of the barriers to and drivers of sustainable practices in the case study organizations at the present time, LOCAW aimed at building scenarios for transitions to sustainable workplace practices, which would achieve significant reductions in their CO2 emissions by the year 2050. These scenarios were developed by using a combination of inferences drawn from the empirical research part of the project, described above, and participatory back-casting scenario development workshops in which comprehensive visions were developed for the organization for 2050, as well as alternative pathways to reach them. Several policy tracks and interventions were then developed from these scenarios to be implemented in the organizational simulations, using agent-based modeling. These policies were tested in different combinations to see their effects on the performing of certain behaviors and related emissions levels, which should yield important insights on the types of policies that are likely to be most effective. Policies were derived targeting changes in the three areas of practices: consumption of materials and energy; waste generation and management, and work- related mobility. More attention was given to those practices responsible for higher emissions, in each organization under study. Scenarios were narrative, as these are easier to handle by stakeholders, than abstract representations about the future. An important novelty of LOCAW is the fact that it has used back-casting scenarios with organizational stakeholders in order to envision future sustainable visions of the organization within a sustainable regional and European context. This is scarce in back-casting research, and most studies have been developed around future visions of a region or a city, in order to help policy-making for local, regional or national governments. Almost no studies have been done in order to support transformation and sustainable changes in private and public organizations. LOCAW is thus able to provide policy support for both organizations xxx.xxxxx‐xx0.xxx and government regulators (in the policies they design to target industrial and other emissions), and these policies have been tested in simulations, thus providing a better basis for their level of fitness. Several policies were tested so as to check their effectiveness. Policies were checked separately, in combination, isolated in time and maintained throu...
