This Ph.D. project, based at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI), will investigate how energy industry businesses can institutionalize and operationalize Futures approaches – including Foresight, exploratory and normative scenarios – to enable the transition to net zero. By using a knowledge co-production approach with the Australian energy industry, it is expected that the project will address the fundamental question of what governance arrangements, institutional frameworks, and organizational capacities are required to embed Futures approaches in transition planning toward net zero. The project’s outcomes will address energy governance and market issues the industry is currently facing and prepare for future issues.
This is an opportunity for someone interested in Futures studies, energy and sustainability transitions, management, and social sciences to develop an original research project. The project is not about developing scenarios or modeling energy futures but about how futures and scenarios can be embedded effectively into the industry, and organizational decision-making, as well as how institutional and organizational processes and capacities could be strengthened for anticipatory action aligned with net zero transitions.
