Klimatanpassning av den Svenska Skogsbrukssektorn : En teknisk innovationssystemsanalys (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This study applies the fundamentals of the Technological innovation systems framework to analyze the systemic conditions of the Swedish forestry’s capabilities to facilitate and generate innovation for climate change adaptation. Documentation, together with primary data from two surveys sent to a variety of actors operating inside the system, was assessed and analyzed to get an understanding of the organizational and institutional challenges this industry meets in the new era of the Anthropocene. The study concludes that there are both structural hinders in actors, networks, and institutions that, in combination with emerging tensions, and the slow nature of the value chain leave important innovation functions unevolved. 

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie tillämpar grunderna i ramverket för tekniska innovationssystem för att analysera de systemiska förutsättningarna för det svenska skogsbrukets förmåga att underlätta och generera innovation för klimatanpassning. Dokumentation, tillsammans med primärdata från två enkäter som skickats till olika aktörer i systemet, utvärderades och analyserades för attförstå de organisatoriska och institutionella utmaningar som denna industri möter på grund av klimatförändringarna. Studien drar slutsatsen att både strukturella hinder hos aktörer, nätverk och institutioner, i kombination med spänningar och värdekedjans långsamma karaktär, lämnar viktiga innovationsfunktioner outvecklade. Mycket kan dock vinnas på en blandning av ny reglering och större ansvar gentemot relaterade myndigheter.
