| Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Nexus at Neighborhood ScaleAcross Canadian cities, Edmonton has shown the highest energy-related GHG emissions (~19 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) due to cold weather and coal-based electricity supply. Thus GHG emission reduction is becoming an increasing concern at the municipal level to mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, The energy use and GHG emissions are not uniform across the city as spatial parameters such as area, arrangements, land use, population density, and road network are varied within the city at neighborhood scale. We explored whether the neighborhood and its elements such as building typology, land use, location, and travel behavior have any impact on GHG emissions in order to create a configuration of a neighborhood that emits the least amount of GHG emissions.

| Something old, something new, something green: community leagues and neighbourhood energy transitions in Edmonton, CanadaWell-established grassroots structures present a potential for fostering sustainability niches. As a unique form of community-centred and volunteer driven neighbourhood organization in existence for over 100 years, Community Leagues in Edmonton, Canada are presented here as a case in point. This paper explores how niches were created within the well-established Community Leagues structure to foster and diffuse neighbourhood energy transitions. A qualitative review of Community League documents, interviews with sustainability managers directors and an online survey of residents informs this inquiry. Results indicate that grassroots organization like Edmonton’s Community Leagues build on existing access to the community as well as trust of members and regime institutions at local level to foster energy transitions. However, taking up new roles regarding sustainability requires re-orienting the existing institutional structure and recruiting motivated individuals building a new organizational vision. The paper expands builds upon the conceptualization of innovative social niches by locating them in well-established community structures.

| Yes! Energy Transition in my Backyard Community-led grassroots organizations play a significant role in the socio-technical energy transition of our society. Community Leagues in Edmonton are a case in point. Community Leagues are a unique form of grassroots community-centred and volunteer-driven organization that has existed in Edmonton since 1917. Following an interest from their respective communities, Community Leagues have worked towards a number of initiatives of adopting and diffusing the energy transition idea. Solar panel installations and energy audits of the community halls are to name a few. These initiatives are undertaken to make energy transition ideas tangible in the neighbourhoods, as well as encourage homes and local institutions to do the same.
Based on the transition and diffusion experiences of ten Community Leagues, our research establishes how 'green niches' were created within the well-established Community Leagues structure to foster and share energy transitions strategies. Our preliminary results indicate that Community Leagues are well suited to the task of diffusing the ideas and practices of energy transition. They build on existing access to the community and trust of community members and government institutions at local and regional levels. However, taking up new responsibilities regarding energy transitions requires expanding their existing roles and responsibilities and recruiting self-motivated individuals to the task. Lessons from this exploration are relevant for new as well as established community organizations in overcoming barriers for creating and fostering niches for energy transition.
