Summary
Our objective in this chapter is to elaborate on the concepts of transition and paradigm shift and further discuss the concept of sustainability transition. We applied the transition theory proposed by Geels (2010) to the case of bioeconomy. This theory proposes a multi-level perspective for framing socio-technical sustainability transitions. The chapter identifies dynamics and actors involved in the purposive sustainability transition at a micro (e.g., pilot projects, emerging technologies), meso (e.g., leading sectors and industries), and macro (global social, economic, and environmental drivers) levels.
