Sustainability transformations of provisioning systems and the stock-flow-service nexus
The goal of this session is to discuss the latest research on the potentials and limitations of a sustainability transformation of the stock-flow-service nexus and provisioning systems, which are novel interdisciplinary conceptual approaches towards understanding and achieving sustainable resource use, emission reductions and the decoupling conundrum. The scope of this session is about drawing connections across scales between efforts in investigating the stock-flow-service nexus and research on the political economy of transformations and provisioning systems. Contributions could also include perspectives on choice architectures and physical infrastructures in reorganizing the provision of services that simultaneously improve wellbeing for all and reduce GHG emissions.
