Democratising Just Sustainability Transition

该项目将开发和实施新的参与性工具，以促进公民在可持续性转型过程中的积极和战略性参与。它将结合以设计为主导的领土工具和大规模公民审议的数字工具。该项目解决了欧洲面临的一个决定性的社会和民主挑战，即倾听参与度最低的社区的声音，特别是在依赖能源密集型产业的结构薄弱地区，这些地区将受到向更可持续未来转型的最大影响。在“积极辅助”概念的基础上，该项目将采用创新的研究方法组合和实验性公民参与，以了解各级政府参与可持续性转型决策的决定因素，并为公民社会的包容性参与制定有效的政策建议。

The DUST project will develop and operationalise novel participatory instruments for proactive and strategic citizen engagement in sustainability transitions. It will combine design-led territorial tools with digital tools for citizen deliberation at scale. The project addresses a defining societal and democratic challenge for Europe, which 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 transitionstowards a more sustainable future. Building on the concept of ‘active subsidiarity’, the project will employ an innovative mix of research methods, and experimental citizen participation, to understand the determinants of participation in decision-making on sustainability transitions at different levels of government, and to develop effective policy recommendations for inclusive engagement of civil society.
