Energy transitions and socio-ecosystem reconfigurations: mobilizing OHM to produce an integrated methodology
While climate change can be considered a global structuring factor, the injunction to make an energy transition is a founding event that takes shape in different ways in different territories. Studies on the local impact of energy transitions are mainly sector-based and monographic in nature. The challenge of the present project is therefore to go beyond this compartmentalization, by crossing the social, technical and environmental dimensions specific to each socio-ecosystem. The idea of a “Society-Technology-Environment” nexus will be put to the test by considering OHMs as laboratories for assessing the impact of an action on these three components. An integrated methodology will be used to characterize the reconfiguration of socio-ecosystems and the human-environment interactions at work. The team of 6 “test” OHMs is a broadly interdisciplinary one, with all the skills needed to understand the trajectories of these reconfigurations.
