The urgent need to mitigate climate change, which is goal no. 13 in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, has led to an increased focus on sustainability and green transition within the social sciences. Research is now focusing on how climate neutrality can be reached, and how various forces can be mobilized and organized locally as well as internationally. In this podcast series, researchers involved in green transition projects will focus on sectors important to the green transition: Food, life science, energy, the public sector, etc. For each sector, the researchers will focus on specific managerial and governmental challenges that arise from translating abstract climate goals into tangible solutions. Based on their research, they will present knowledge about green transition, which they intend to develop and discuss in ways that are helpful to different types of actors such as entrepreneurs, managers, universities, public institutions, and corporations. This podcast series has been developed and recorded in collaboration with researchers and a podcast host at The Department of Organization, also called IOA, at Copenhagen Business School.

    Organizing for sustainable transition

    Climate change is at the top of the political, economic and social agendas today. Facing the climate related challenges ahead requires all of us to think through how a transition process to a more sustainable future can be organized and how such a future is to be organized, the types of organizations that should be involved and at which levels they need to be involved. In reality, a green transition involves activating networks of countries, organizations, firms, citizens, technology and solidarity. In other words, it is highly complex. And it needs organizing. This episode is recorded by Associate Professor at the Department of Organization at CBS, Stine Haakonsson. Marianne Kellmann is the podcast host.

    Green transition in the midst of an energy crisis?

    In its recent report, the IPCC underlines that immediate and large emission reductions are needed to limit global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This means that there is no more room for any added fossil fuel infrastructure in the world. If emissions continue, unchanged global warming will surpass 2.8 degree Celsius at the end of this century. In other words, from a climate perspective, the transition to renewable energy must happen fast. The outbreak of Russia’s war in Ukraine, however, has turned Europe’s energy politics upside down. Energy prices have surged and the role of energy in geopolitics have become painstakingly clear. These events affect citizens across Europe as well as firms, states, and industries. Yet, how the crisis will affect the transition to renewable energy is less certain. This episode is recorded by PhD Fellow at the Department of Organization at CBS, Kathrine Maria Lumbye. Marianne Kellmann is the podcast host.

    Energy transition or diversification in Colombia?

    The impacts of climate change are becoming clearer every day, with increased flooding, extreme heat, more disease, and economic loss. In discussions of climate change and energy transitions, we tend to focus on Western countries. But how are countries in other parts of the world performing in this regard? Colombia is one country that is worth keeping an eye on in terms of its energy policies on green transition. This episode is recorded by Associate Professor at the Department of Management, Society, and Communication at CBS, Jacobo Ramirez. Marianne Kellmann is the podcast host.

    Intellectual climate activism

    A fierce debate is currently unfolding in the Danish public sphere as well as internationally. On the one side of this debate, there are researchers who feel an urgent need to pool their resources and use their expertise to push society in a sustainable direction. On the other side of the debate, there are politicians and media pundits who intend to fight, tooth and nail, to preserve what they perceive as a politically neutral university system. When scholars become activists, the very foundation of contemporary society is set in motion. But perhaps society is moving in a positive direction? Perhaps we should embrace the notion of intellectual activism? This episode is recorded by Associate Professor at the Department of Organization at CBS, Emil Husted.

    Organizing Expertise to Plan and Carry out Green Transition

    States around the world are already experiencing the drastic consequences brought on by a changing climate. As the window of opportunity to limit global heating to 1.5 °C is quickly diminishing, it is only probable that states will establish more expert institutions to guide their green transition. The question of how societies have and are currently organizing expertise to plan and carry out their green transition is at the core of Postdoc Søren Lund Frandsen’s research. Søren is based at the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School. In this podcast episode Søren discusses questions related to how states and other societal actors organize, produce and shape the expertise necessary for the green transition.
