Collective Action Playing Important Role in Decarbonization of Europe
More than 2 million citizens across 30 European countries have participated in thousands of projects and initiatives in support of transitioning to renewable energy, according to a recent analysis published in Scientific Reports. These investments, which range from 6.2 to 11.3 billion euros, show the significant role that collective action is playing in the decarbonization of Europe.
The report, authored by an international team of researchers, surveyed 1,157 case studies drawn from 30 European countries. Their data revealed that citizens have become increasingly active in developing and managing green energy projects to combat climate change. Examples include solar and wind installations, biomass heating, and sustainable transportation initiatives.
The a uthors of the report suggest that citizen engagement is essential to successful environmental transitions. Through their collective action, citizens can establish more democratic, effective, and resilient alternatives to the current energy system. In order to achieve a carbon-free Europe, citizens and policy makers must continue to engage in shared initiatives.
