#27 Public consultations in National Energy and Climate Plans: Improving legitimacy?

The EU requires member states to engage the wider public in the drafting of their National Energy and Climate Plans. However, the quality of participation varies significantly between EU countries.

In this episode, Lea Schewe discusses why public participation in these plans is so important, the challenges participation faces, and what could explain variation in quality.

This season is produced in collaboration with RETOOL, a HORIZON EUROPE project aiming to advance our understanding of how to address the twin challenges of responding to the climate imperative while strengthening and reinvigorating democratic governance.
