Green Transitions
Current issues in the world, most notably climate change, require a change in the status quo. Business as usual is not good enough to tackle these problems, so there is a need for new and innovative ways of continuing many endeavors. A green transition is a change towards a more (socially, economically, or environmentally) sustainable process.
