Situating Just Transitions: Sustainability, Innovation and Inclusion in the Blue Economy?
Abstract:
The emerging Blue Economy (BE)—a concept championed by the United Nations—is seen as a promising low carbon driver of sustainability transitions. On the premise of wanting to effect not only a sustainable but also a just transition, this paper argues for the need to analyze the more hidden interactions and relationships of the BE (subsistence activities, illegal activities, barter, etc.) rather than only focusing on capitalist enterprise, market exchange, and wage labor. Essentially, a just transition is dependent on assuring distributive, recognitive, and procedural justice. The paper proposes a quadruple helix approach to stakeholder engagement and a Transdisciplinary Action Research (TAR) methodology as a promising avenue in which the diversity of such stakeholder groups can mutually engage to envision and co-create BE futures that realize these three dimensions of justice.
