Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISIGRETA - GReen Energy Transition Actions - Fraunhofer ISI
The GRETA project aimed at gaining comprehensive insights into how citizens can be more effectively and meaningfully integrated into the energy transition. This involved determining drivers and barriers to energy citizen engagement that go beyond politics and political regulations, including financial resources, access to technologies and information, and participation in decision-making. Unequal access to these factors, lack of material or social resources and a lack of recognition leads to exclusionary practices and hinders people in their ability to act. GRETA asked questions about the kind of environment that gives citizens the opportunity to act, both individually and collectively, to shape a more sustainable future without forms of exclusion and an unequal distribution of power.
