The Geography of Sustainability Transitions (GeoST) is a quickly evolving research theme at the interface of transition studies and economic / human geography. Our webinar series aims to expand ongoing dialogues between the transitions and geography communities. The first webinar series explored the state of the art and future research themes. The second series delves deeper into five promising topics for conceptual encounters and empirical deepening. Featuring exciting speakers, the second series explores Geographies of Sustainability Transitions to help understand: winners and losers in transitions, the emergence of green industries, local-global relations, grassroots initiatives and mission-oriented innovation policies. The webinars are organized as a series of ‘mini-keynote’ lectures, followed by a discussant and Q&A, intended at open and inclusive debate.
