Just and effective governance for accelerating wind energy

Project description

Accelerating wind energy deployment in Europe for and with communities

Wind energy is considered a crucial energy source to lower greenhouse gas emissions and meet the 2030 climate targets outlined by the EU. Although Europe is investing in onshore and offshore wind energy, more actions are needed. The EU-funded JustWind4All project will support the acceleration through just and effective governance. For instance, it will create synergies among people and organisations to coordinate and participate in actions around wind energy deployment. Moreover, it will develop knowledge, practical guidelines, instruments, strategies and trainings for just and effective decision-making in onshore and offshore wind energy governance. JustWind4All will engage with local, regional, national and EU wind energy governance actors across policy, community and industry through its Wind Forum – a platform designed to meet, network, discuss and go into action.

Objective

JustWind4All aims to support the acceleration of on- and offshore wind energy through just and effective governance, i.e. the creation of synergies among people and organisations to coordinate and participate in actions around wind energy strategies and deployment. To this end, JustWind4All develops knowledge, practical guidelines, instruments, strategies, and trainings for just and effective decision-making in on- and offshore wind energy governance. This move towards more effective and just decision-making processes and structures is crucial in the context of ambitious EU renewable energy targets, which require installing more and larger on- and offshore wind farms, speeding up the planning and deployment processes whilst ensuring no one is left behind. JustWind4All makes use of a rigorous trans- and interdisciplinary multi-method research design. It combines holistic impact assessment based on a social-ecological approach with techno-economic modelling to assess a variety of social, environmental, technical, and economic impacts and/or benefits to improve decision-making. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies (e.g. case studies, multicriteria mapping) help to investigate ways to foster wind energy citizenship with a particular focus on participation, energy justice and social innovation. Through transdisciplinary knowledge co-production in Wind Labs, JustWind4All makes the most out of novel resources i.e. practices (repowering), technologies (airborne, floating) and regions (e.g. Bulgaria) and engages in knowledge co-production with wind energy governance actors for fit-for-purpose outcomes. A cutting-edge Wind Forum network enables knowledge exchange and dialogue between multiple stakeholders across policy, community, market and third sector it ensures that JustWind4Alls knowledge, practical guidelines, instruments, strategies, and training activities have maximum impact.
