Just transitions don't unfold in the same way everywhere but a diverse geography, depending on place-based factors, power relations, and a region's multiscalar positionality. New paper in @regionalstudies.bsky.social w/ V. Grünenwald and J. Kastrup www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Compared to the growth of news paths, the decline of old paths (particularly under decarbonization pressure) is not fully understood. In this new paper, @michaelatrippl.bsky.social, J. Kastrup, and I explore the dimensions of old path decline: academic.oup.com/cjres/advanc...

Are you working on just regional industrial transitions? Check out our call for a special session at GeoInno 2026 (organized with @michaelatrippl.bsky.social and Will Eadson) www.geoinno2026.com/session/s21-...

Third co-development workshop in our RITMEP project on regional just transitions (led by @michaelatrippl.bsky.social) with Sebastian Fastenrath, Jannik Kastrup, and Emil Götz. This time in Amstetten and for the Mostviertel-Eisenwurzen region (Lower Austria). Funded by @klimafonds.bsky.social

It was a pleasure to present our RITMEP project today at the Austrian Climate Day in Innsbruck, and to receive great feedback for the place-based perspective on green and just industrial transitions we are developing.

🚨 New paper alert: what role for imaginaries in sustainability transitions? In this paper in @tesg-journal.bsky.social, I propose distinguishing between imagined histories, imagined futures, imagined places, and imagined spaces onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Very happy to see the first paper of my doctoral student Mikel Oleaga published in Geoforum: a great read about proximities in a peripheral coworking space in Petrer, Spain www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Second transdisciplinary RITMEP workshop (funded by @klimafonds.bsky.social) in the highly industrialized region south of Vienna. Fascinating discussions about industrial decarbonization (e.g., cement, petrochemicals), energy transition, and regional visions @michaelatrippl.bsky.social @univie.ac.at

New article online in EIST: why we should pay more attention to complex multiple-challenge transitions at the nexus of climate change and toxic pollution in regions hosting emission-intensive industries (e.g., chemicals) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to announce I am now permanent senior scientist and senior lecturer at @univie.ac.at

First workshop of the RITMEP project in Vöcklabruck, bringing together different stakeholders to discuss challenges and opportunities for regional industrial transitions in Gmunden & Vöcklabruck districts (Upper Austria). Funded by @klimafonds.bsky.social @michaelatrippl.bsky.social @univie.ac.at
