New paper looks at modelling systems diffusion

A new paper by CIED Co-Director Prof Frank Geels and Dr Victoria Johnson looks at modelling systems diffusion.

Learning about diffusion from experiences in other countries

European countries have seen some low-energy innovations, like district energy systems in Austria, gain popularity. What lessons can be learned from these examples about how to overcome inertia and cause diffusions to accelerate, leading to tipping points and breakthroughs?
