WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON?

Our ambition is to hear the voices of least engaged communities, especially in structurally weak regions dependent on energy-intensive industries, which will be most affected by transitions towards a more sustainable future

We use the principle of ‘active subsidiarity’ to understand the determinants of participation in decision-making on sustainability transitions at different levels of governance

The project develops and operationalizes novel participatory instruments for proactive and strategic citizen engagement in sustainability transitions

8
CASE STUDY REGIONS

Research using mixed methods will be undertaken in 8 case study regions to investigate the factors enhancing or hindering citizen participation. Co-creation between partners will allow us to dive deep, drawing on skills to understand regional challenges and opportunities.

4
REGIONAL EXPERIMENTS

Participatory experiments will be conducted in 4 of the case study regions (where just sustainability transitions pose the greatest challenges) to test the potential of a hybrid format that applies innovative design-led territorial and digital tools for citizen participation.
