Holistic impact assessment: JW4A has increased the resolution of the wind-energy capabilities of ENBIOS, a python framework for the socio-environmental assessment of energy transition scenarios; created a WindTrace model calculating life cycle inventories; tested ENBIOS via a pilot case study and developed a first draft of a metric library for the holistic assessment of wind energy impacts.
Energy system modelling: JW4A has further developed the open-source European energy system model Euro-Calliope to now include airborne and floating wind technologies, and a higher spatial resolution to cover more detail in different possible offshore wind deployment areas.
Wind energy citizenship and appraisal: JW4A has developed a database of more than 300 participatory practices and social innovations. Based on interviews and document & media analysis, JW4A has analysed the challenges and opportunities around effective and just wind energy governance in seven European regions: North Holland/NL; MidtVest/DK; Catalonia/ES; Center-North/PT; Koroska/SI; Severoiztochen/BG; Brandenburg/DE. Twelve qualitative scenarios for effective and just wind energy have been developed, and seven dialogues organized for inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge integration.
Wind Forum: JW4A’s Wind Forum for knowledge exchange and dialogue has expanded to 591 participants through targeted activities across Europe Substantial part of this Wind Forum are the Wind labs, which focus on developing participatory practices in offshore developments/Bulgaria, financial participation in repowering/Portugal, participatory practices for airborne wind/Germany, maritime spatial planning for offshore wind infrastructure/North Sea basin, and developing a compass for decision-making/Cross-regions. A total of 273 wind energy governance actors co-produced knowledge and action in 15 co-production activities. The work follows shared principles and is supported by a Reflexive Monitoring process.
Dissemination, communication, and exploitation: JW4A has established and further developed its communication infrastructure, including the website, social media channels (LinkedIn, X and Youtube), newsletter audience base, visual identity and promotional materials. Project updates reached over 15.000 individuals over social media and over 3200 through the website, with a steady increase as the project progresses.
