The IPCC Sixth Assessment cycle also highlights the concept of transition, drawn from the sustainability transitions literature . The 1.5 SR organises its assessments of feasibility and potential policy actions around transitions in four socio-technical system: energy, land, urban and infrastructure, and industrial systems . This report adds a fifth system transition-a societal transition focused on attributes that drive innovation, the evolution of patterns of consumption and development and power relationships among societal actors . The AR6 WGIII report is organised around six systems transitions: energy; agricultural, forestry, other land use; urban; buildings; transportation; and industry, which includes supply chains and the circular economy.
