ICS W O R K I N G P A P E R S 2018 26 Annex 2: Listing of transition-related actors and actions TSI related research and research projects TSI (Transformative social innovation) TSI theory was informed by empirical findings of three major research projects on cross-country CBIs in Europe. These research projects are: TESS, PATHWAYS, ARTS and DRIFT. → TESS (Towards European Societal Sustainability) With the aim to explore the role of community- based initiatives (CBIs) in creating a sustainable, low-carbon Europe, led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate (PIK). http://www.tess-transition.eu/resources- 2/ → PATHWAYS (Transition Pathways to sustainable low-carbon societies) Led by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and aiming at providing policy-makers and other key stakeholders with better insight in on-going and necessary transition pathways for key domains relevant for EU policy. ❖ https://www.pathways - project.nl/ → ARTS (Accelerating and Rescaling Transitions to Sustainability) Led by DRIFT (Dutch Research Institute For Transitions) and committed to understanding the role and impact of transition initiatives in cities and examining the conditions that can aid accelerating change towards a sustainable low-carbon society. http://acceleratingtransitions.eu/ Participative research projects ClimAdaPT.Local (Municipal strategies for Climate Change in Portugal) Had the goal of starting in Portugal a continuous process leading to the elaboration of Municipal Strategies for Adaptation to Climate Change (Estratégias Municipais de Adaptação às Alterações Climáticas – EMAAC, in Portuguese) and its integration in municipal planning tools. http://climadapt-local.pt/en/ CCIAM (Climate Change Impacts Adaptation & Modelling) Is a research group of the Faculty of Science of Lisbon university. Its research areas are climate change impact assessment, adaptation strategies and the development of downscaled climate scenarios, bringing together scientists from several disciplines who conduct trans-disciplinary research on both national and international level. http://ce3c.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/team/CCI AM BASE (Bottom-up Climate Adaptation Strategies towards a Sustainable Europe) Addresses the need for research on sustainable climate adaptation strategies, which promote interactions between bottom-up and top-down assessments. Its intention is to evaluate the environmental, social and economic impacts, the costs and benefits, policy coherence and stakeholder perceptions of different climate adaptation pathways from an interdisciplinary perspective. http://ce3c.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/research/ projects/ver.php?id=24
