ABSTRACT

As stated in the Introduction, this book is the outcome of collaboration between a European research project, TRANSIT, 2 which investigates transformative social innovation, and the SCORAI Europe community, 3 which is primarily involved in studying sustainable consumption, largely to inspire and instigate transformative change. Part of the motivation for the cooperation between these two groups of researchers and practitioners was the desire to investigate the nexus of and define the links between social innovation, sustainable consumption and societal transformation.
