| Zusammenfassung |
| The delineation of transition pathways towards sustainability and the implementation of
associated measures are challenged by uncertainty, structural barriers, and conflicts among
affected stakeholders. Experiences from other research domains suggest that the effective
application of models to tackle these challenges require the explicit consideration of
modeling purposes and roles. We present a classification of modeling roles for the analysis
and governance of transitions. Models can support understanding of transitions
processes, detect barriers and drivers of change, support the exploration of pathways
towards sustainability, and help to actively engage relevant stakeholder groups. For
each application area, examples are provided from the transition community and
related research fields like environmental modeling and integrated assessment. |
