166 Chapter 6 Plausibilistic anticipation to interrogate political implications of actions, build capacities for preparedness and inform strategic policy planning to increase resilience to climate change, which is approach 2 with approaches 1 and 4 actions. These hybrids were exemplifying in the sense that they prevailed quite often and demonstrate how the approaches in the framework relate to practice. The examples also demonstrate the working of the framework, by revealing what elements of approaches are used and shedding light on such hybridity. 6.2.3. Research question 3: What are the implications of the prevalence of different approaches for realizing sustainability transformations? Connecting the framework with the framework on transformations (Feola, 2015, chapter 4) helps to explain what the dominant dynamics mean for the anticipatory governance of sustainability transformations. This integrated framework demonstrates that the epistemologies of approaches 2 and 3 seem reconcilable with approach 1 in understanding transformations, despite their conflicting conceptions of the future. The integrated framework is repeated below (figure 6.2) to illustrate how the language on anticipation and transformation connects.
