Governing time for sustainability: analyzing the temporal implications of sustainability governance

Governing time for sustainability: analyzing the temporal implications of sustainability governance The idea of sustainability comes with numerous temporal ambitions and implications. It can be interpreted as a call to rethink and redesign the prevailing temporal orders of human–nature relationships in terms of governance. While there are multiple approaches to sustainability governance that implicitly or explicitly engage with time, the concrete links between time and sustainability-oriented governance remain largely unclear. The aim of this article is, therefore, to provide a more nuanced and critical picture of the temporal implications of sustainability governance. To this end, it reconstructs various exemplary approaches to sustainability governance from two analytical perspectives, namely governance of time and governance by time. On this basis, it is further argued that the interplay of different practices of sustainability-oriented governance creates different “timescapes of sustainability” with different normative and political implications. Proposals for future research and practice on the relationship between sustainability governance and time are derived from the analysis.

Abstract

The idea of sustainability comes with numerous temporal ambitions and implications. It can be interpreted as a call to rethink and redesign the prevailing temporal orders of human–nature relationships in terms of governance. While there are multiple approaches to sustainability governance that implicitly or explicitly engage with time, the concrete links between time and sustainability-oriented governance remain largely unclear. The aim of this article is, therefore, to provide a more nuanced and critical picture of the temporal implications of sustainability governance. To this end, it reconstructs various exemplary approaches to sustainability governance from two analytical perspectives, namely governance of time and governance by time. On this basis, it is further argued that the interplay of different practices of sustainability-oriented governance creates different “timescapes of sustainability” with different normative and political implications. Proposals for future research and practice on the relationship between sustainability governance and time are derived from the analysis. Keywords Time · Governance · Temporal governance · Sustainability governance · Sustainable development · Timescapes of sustainability Introduction waste disposal (Adam 1998); the increasing pace of social and technological change (Rosa 2015), including a progres- While time has always been entwined with politics (Elchar- sive de-synchronization from its regulation (Selin 2008); the dus 1988),
