This book was written for anyone wishing to understand how sustainable scenarios emerge from
current innovations. It complements current sustainability transition research by providing a
¿socio-technical map ¿ an analytical and operational tool that can be used to explain the
current positioning of innovators and their networks to form alternative transition pathways
and scenarios and to design policies for a sustainability transition. Drawing on multiple
disciplinary approaches to the study of ¿green¿ innovations and focusing specifically on
operational directives it examines and assesses multiple transition pathways (and supporting
networks). Lastly it presents three sectorial case studies (urban mobility agri-food and
lighting) to demonstrate how the ¿socio-technical map¿ can be concretely put into practice.
