ABSTRACT Future green economies and regional development: a research agenda. Regional Studies. The past 30 years have seen an explosion of interest and concern over the detrimental impacts of economic and industrial development. Despite this, the environmental agenda has not featured substantially in the regional studies literature. This paper explores a range of options for regional futures from a ‘clean-tech’ economy and the promise of renewed accumulation through to more radical degrowth concepts focused on altering existing modes of production and consumption, ecological sustainability and social justice. In so doing, it investigates the potential role of regions as drivers of the new green economy, drawing on research into sustainability transitions.

Green technologies and Smart Specialisation Strategies: a European patent-based analysis of the intertwining of technological relatedness and key enabling technologies (2018, background): “Research agendas for a more encompassing analysis of the locational implications of the green economy are actually still looked for at the intersection between regional studies, economic geography and sustainability transition (Truffer and Coenen, 2012; Gibbs and O’Neill, 2017).”
An alternative policy approach to rural development in regions facing population decline (2018, background): “Most of the conventional programmes and policies still refer to a growth paradigm that is not effective in many places and, moreover, creates detrimental effects for large groups within the population, the environment and overall resilience of regional development (Gibbs & O’Neill, 2017).”
