Exnovation?
The emerging concept of exnovation within Transition studies is at the very core of our Brussels-based GOSETE research project as well as of other research projects.
Exnovation refers to processes of destabilization, decline and phasing-out of carbon-intensive industries, technologies, business models et practices or that raise other systemic sustainability issues (environnemental, socioeconomic, related to urban-planning, etc.).
This is our definition. The exnovation concept within Sustainability Transitions Studies emerged only recently and its precise meaning is as yet not settled.
