This book analyzes how the governance of innovation can foster
sustainability. The quest for innovation is consistently at the top
of the agenda for policy makers around the globe, on the
supra-national level, as well as for the nation states and all the
way down to debates in local governance and policy boards. At the
same time, sustainability is a core feature of this dialogue in
creating, diffusing and using technologies and products so that
human needs can be met, while unnecessary natural resources are not
being used or destroyed.
Based on these premises and given the complexity of sustainable
innovation, there is an ever growing recognition among policy
makers, industries and analysts that the development and diffusion
of technological innovations need governing in order to contribute
to societal goals such as climate change mitigation and resource
efficiency. Such governance does not necessarily mean
orchestration, imposing regulation or other policy measures in a
top-down manner. Governance can be facilitated through a number of
means and by various actors and different levels. This book
presents a view of governance that involves almost all types of
actors related to any specific sector or field.
