The article’s objective is to contribute to the literature on green in peripheral regions by developing an analytical perspective that integrates the historical regional industry path development process with the creation of alternative regional industry futures. The article emphasizes the role of intertemporal change agency that allows the actors to engage in deliberation regarding appropriate moments, being prepared and waiting for the right time to explore new opportunities in the future by learning from past setbacks and failures. The authors do this by developing a theoretically informed analytical perspective based on insights from the evolutionary economic geography (EEG) literature. Additionally, the authors explore how regional actors build upon historical developments to construct multiple future regional industry scenarios proactively. Empirically, the article looks at the long-term historical and contemporary green industry path development in Helgeland, Nordland. The authors identify and discuss three specific future-oriented regional industry scenarios – (1) transformation and rejuvenation, (2) stagnation, and (3) preservation – based on the historical developments. Additionally, they discuss the relevance of the alternative future regional industry scenarios. The authors conclude that the role of intertemporal change agency is critical for understanding how regional actors construct future opportunities by learning from the experiences in the past.
