What factors enable social-ecological transformative potential? The role of learning practices, empowerment, and networking

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study investigates the factors that enable social-ecological transformative potential, focusing on learning practices, empowerment, and networking within innovative initiatives. Utilizing a theoretical framework developed from existing research, the authors conducted a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) on a selection of African-led initiatives from the Seeds of Good Anthropocenes (SOGA) database. The findings indicate that networking is the most significant factor contributing to transformative potential among the initiatives analyzed. This research provides a foundational framework for future comparative studies aimed at identifying key properties that facilitate sustainability transformations.
