    Des changements transformateurs révolutionnaires sont nécessaires dans les relations homme-environnement pour s'orienter vers des trajectoires de développement plus durables aux échelles locale, nationale et mondiale. Les crises peuvent déclencher un changement transformateur et un apprentissage à court et à long terme. Cependant, en particulier, une réponse à court terme aux crises peut également être réactive, renforçant les pratiques non durables établies et perpétuant davantage la vulnérabilité et les inégalités plutôt que de soutenir un changement transformateur vers une voie plus durable. Pour comprendre la nature et la réponse à une crise dans le contexte des transformations de la durabilité, cet article développe les aspects suivants d'une crise : Quelles sont les caractéristiques d'une crise ? Quoi et qui façonne le (s) récit(s) d'une crise ? Quoi et qui façonne la nature de la réponse à une crise ? Les réponses aux crises déclenchent-elles des niveaux d'apprentissage plus élevés ? La synthèse conceptuelle est complétée par une analyse comparative exploratoire de la crise de l'eau du Cap et de la pandémie de COVID-19 en Afrique du Sud. À cette fin, l'article analyse l'interaction entre la mobilisation de l'agence individuelle, collective et relationnelle et la navigation et la transformation des relations de pouvoir pour contester et tirer profit de structures non durables déjà affaiblies. Cette approche s'avère prometteuse pour comprendre le rôle des crises dans la catalyse et le soutien de l'apprentissage transformatif pour éventuellement remplacer les structures non durables. Se necesita un cambio transformador pionero en las relaciones humano-ambientales para avanzar hacia trayectorias de desarrollo más sostenibles a escala local, nacional y global. Las crisis pueden desencadenar cambios transformadores y aprendizaje a corto y largo plazo. Sin embargo, en particular, una respuesta a corto plazo a las crisis también puede ser reactiva, fortaleciendo las prácticas insostenibles establecidas y perpetuando aún más la vulnerabilidad y la desigualdad en lugar de apoyar un cambio transformador hacia un camino más sostenible. Para comprender la naturaleza y la respuesta a una crisis en el contexto de las transformaciones de sostenibilidad, este documento desarrolla los siguientes aspectos de una crisis: ¿Cuáles son las características de una crisis? ¿Qué y quién da forma a la (s) narrativa(s) de una crisis? ¿Qué y quién determina la naturaleza de la respuesta a una crisis? ¿Las respuestas a las crisis desencadenan niveles más altos de aprendizaje? La síntesis conceptual se complementa con un análisis comparativo exploratorio de la crisis del agua de Ciudad del Cabo y de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Sudáfrica. Con este fin, el documento analiza la interacción entre la movilización de la agencia individual, colectiva y relacional y la navegación y transformación de las relaciones de poder para desafiar y beneficiarse de estructuras insostenibles ya debilitadas. Este enfoque resulta prometedor para comprender el papel de las crisis en catalizar y apoyar el aprendizaje transformador para eventualmente reemplazar las estructuras insostenibles. Path-breaking transformative change is needed in human-environment relations to move towards more sustainable development trajectories at local, national and global scales. Crises may trigger transformative change and learning in the short and in the long term. However, in particular, a short-term response to crises may also be reactive, strengthening established unsustainable practices and further perpetuating vulnerability and inequality rather than supporting transformative change towards a more sustainable path. To understand the nature and response to a crisis in the context of sustainability transformations, this paper elaborates on the following aspects of a crisis: What are the characteristics of a crisis? What and who shapes the narrative(s) of a crisis? What and who shapes the nature of the response to a crisis? Do responses to crises trigger higher levels of learning? Conceptual synthesis is complemented with an exploratory comparative analysis of the Cape Town water crisis and of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa. To this end the paper analyzes the interplay between mobilizing individual, collective and relational agency and navigating and transforming power relations to challenge and profit from already weakened unsustainable structures. This approach proves to be promising to understand the role of crises in catalysing and supporting transformative learning to eventually replace unsustainable structures. هناك حاجة إلى تغيير تحويلي رائد في العلاقات بين الإنسان والبيئة للتحرك نحو مسارات تنمية أكثر استدامة على المستويات المحلية والوطنية والعالمية. قد تؤدي الأزمات إلى التغيير التحويلي والتعلم على المدى القصير والطويل. ومع ذلك، على وجه الخصوص، قد تكون الاستجابة قصيرة الأجل للأزمات تفاعلية أيضًا، مما يعزز الممارسات غير المستدامة الراسخة ويزيد من إدامة الضعف وعدم المساواة بدلاً من دعم التغيير التحويلي نحو مسار أكثر استدامة. لفهم طبيعة الأزمة والاستجابة لها في سياق تحولات الاستدامة، توضح هذه الورقة الجوانب التالية للأزمة: ما هي خصائص الأزمة ؟ ما الذي يصوغ سرد(روايات) الأزمة ومن يصوغها ؟ ما الذي يصوغ طبيعة الاستجابة للأزمة ومن يصوغها ؟ هل تؤدي الاستجابات للأزمات إلى مستويات أعلى من التعلم ؟ يُستكمل التوليف المفاهيمي بتحليل مقارن استكشافي لأزمة المياه في كيب تاون وجائحة كوفيد-19 في جنوب إفريقيا. تحقيقاً لهذه الغاية، تحلل الورقة التفاعل بين تعبئة الوكالة الفردية والجماعية والعلاقاتية والتنقل وتحويل علاقات القوة لتحدي الهياكل غير المستدامة الضعيفة بالفعل والاستفادة منها. يثبت هذا النهج أنه واعد لفهم دور الأزمات في تحفيز ودعم التعلم التحويلي ليحل في نهاية المطاف محل الهياكل غير المستدامة.

    Households are crucial in the energy transition, accounting for over 25% of the European Union's energy consumption. To design effective policy measures that motivate households to change their behavior in favor of the energy transition, agent-based models (ABMs) are vital. For ABMs to reach their full potential in policy design, they must appropriately represent behavioral dynamics. One way to accomplish this is by strengthening the fit in ABMs between behavioral determinants (e.g., trust in energy companies) and the behavior of interest (e.g., adopting tariff structures). This study investigates whether a structured behavioral analysis improves this “determinants-behavior-fit.” A systematic review of 71 ABMs addressing household energy decisions reveals that models incorporating a behavioral analysis formalize nearly twice as many behavioral determinants, indicating a more systematic uptake. Subsequently, we find a difference between models focusing on investment-related behaviors (e.g., households buying solar panels) and those examining daily energy practices (e.g., households adjusting charging habits). Models in the first category integrate more social factors when incorporating behavioral analyses, corresponding with the influence of networks and peer effects on investment behaviors. Models in the second category emphasize individual and external factors in response to behavioral analyses, corresponding with the energy practices' habitual and contextual nature. Despite the benefits of a behavioral analysis for improving the determinants-behavior fit in ABMs, only one-third of the studies apply it partially. On top of that, almost half of the studies do not report a rationale for their choice of behavioral determinants. This suggests that many models may not fully capture the behavioral mechanisms underlying household energy decisions, limiting ABMs' potential to inform policymakers. Our findings highlight the need for systematic behavioral assessments in model development. We conclude that collaboration between behavioral scientists and modelers is crucial to accomplish such integration, and we emphasize the importance of allowing sufficient time and resources for meaningful exchange. Future research could further investigate empirical validation of behavioral insights in ABMs and explore how ABM results improve with a better determinants-behavior fit. By bridging behavioral science with computational modeling, ABMs' decision-support power to policymakers can be improved, ultimately accelerating the energy transition.

    This systematic literature review synthesises the literature on socio-psychological drivers and barriers to heat pump adoption and efficient use in households, drawing from the 16 research articles available. The review reveals mixed findings: variables were found influential in some studies but not in others. In addition to financial considerations, negative expectations regarding comfort and performance also hinder adoption. The literature on user behaviours suggests that comfort, knowledge, and home characteristics influence how heat pumps are operated, including temperature settings, heating area, and ventilation behaviour. A key research gap is the insufficient study of variables relating to the individual, such as psychological and socio-demographic factors. Based on the findings, we recommend public awareness campaigns to emphasise non-financial benefits of heat pumps, particularly comfort, which users often experience as an advantage. To optimise user behaviour, we recommend offering technical support services, simplifying system interfaces, and providing actionable feedback information on energy consumption.

    Households are crucial in the energy transition, accounting for over 25% of the European Union's energy consumption. To design effective policy measures that motivate households to change their behavior in favor of the energy transition, agent-based models (ABMs) are vital. For ABMs to reach their full potential in policy design, they must appropriately represent behavioral dynamics. One way to accomplish this is by strengthening the fit in ABMs between behavioral determinants (e.g., trust in energy companies) and the behavior of interest (e.g., adopting tariff structures). This study investigates whether a structured behavioral analysis improves this “determinants-behavior-fit.” A systematic review of 71 ABMs addressing household energy decisions reveals that models incorporating a behavioral analysis formalize nearly twice as many behavioral determinants, indicating a more systematic uptake. Subsequently, we find a difference between models focusing on investment-related behaviors (e.g., households buying solar panels) and those examining daily energy practices (e.g., households adjusting charging habits). Models in the first category integrate more social factors when incorporating behavioral analyses, corresponding with the influence of networks and peer effects on investment behaviors. Models in the second category emphasize individual and external factors in response to behavioral analyses, corresponding with the energy practices' habitual and contextual nature. Despite the benefits of a behavioral analysis for improving the determinants-behavior fit in ABMs, only one-third of the studies apply it partially. On top of that, almost half of the studies do not report a rationale for their choice of behavioral determinants. This suggests that many models may not fully capture the behavioral mechanisms underlying household energy decisions, limiting ABMs' potential to inform policymakers. Our findings highlight the need for systematic behavioral assessments in model development. We conclude that collaboration between behavioral scientists and modelers is crucial to accomplish such integration, and we emphasize the importance of allowing sufficient time and resources for meaningful exchange. Future research could further investigate empirical validation of behavioral insights in ABMs and explore how ABM results improve with a better determinants-behavior fit. By bridging behavioral science with computational modeling, ABMs' decision-support power to policymakers can be improved, ultimately accelerating the energy transition.

    This systematic literature review synthesises the literature on socio-psychological drivers and barriers to heat pump adoption and efficient use in households, drawing from the 16 research articles available. The review reveals mixed findings: variables were found influential in some studies but not in others. In addition to financial considerations, negative expectations regarding comfort and performance also hinder adoption. The literature on user behaviours suggests that comfort, knowledge, and home characteristics influence how heat pumps are operated, including temperature settings, heating area, and ventilation behaviour. A key research gap is the insufficient study of variables relating to the individual, such as psychological and socio-demographic factors. Based on the findings, we recommend public awareness campaigns to emphasise non-financial benefits of heat pumps, particularly comfort, which users often experience as an advantage. To optimise user behaviour, we recommend offering technical support services, simplifying system interfaces, and providing actionable feedback information on energy consumption.
