This project investigates the unclear definition of 'community' in Dutch law and policy. Different sectors (energy, care, housing, environmental law) use divergent definitions, slowing transitions. The research analyzes four phases: legal foundations, practice testing, intervention design, and completion. Central is the community-government-market triangle. Goal is a unified understanding of community that facilitates integral climate transitions. Output: policy interventions, legislative proposals, and knowledge products
Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action
What does an economy look like that focuses not on GDP growth, but on well-being, ecology and justice?
What is needed to achieve this sustainable economy and how is our current economic system holding back these changes?
We are exploring these questions from a practical perspective as part of the program: ‘Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action’. Together with partners from academia, the professional sector, government and social movements, we are working to shape this transition, set it in motion and anchor it. In doing so, we actively apply knowledge in practice to bring about a transformation of our current economic system.
