PHOENIX - The rise of the citizen's voice for a greener Europe
Consortium: 15 partners (including Res publica) in 10 European countries, coordinated by the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra (Portugal)
Context
In 2019, the European Commission presented the Green Deal for Europe, a roadmap to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. As part of its implementation, PHOENIX aims to promote participatory and deliberative processes to achieve this ambitious goal. Project milestones :
- To document and analyze four deliberative and participatory processes used in Europe: the participatory budget, the citizens' convention, the public debate and the conference system;
- Identify the social, political and environmental contexts of pilot territories;
- Propose deliberative and participatory processes adapted to these territories, to address the issues raised by the green pact (energy, food, forest fires, etc.);
- Create TerritorialCommissions for Co-Design(TCCD), made up of citizens, elected representatives and various stakeholders in these territories. Together with the relevant authorities, they contribute to the design and implementation of innovative deliberative and participatory processes.
Missions
Coordinate the consortium to create and manage territorial commissions in 11 pilot territories in 7 European countries;
Create and manage the two French territorial commissions, one at the national level on a CNDP public debate and the other at the metropolitan level in connection with citizens' assemblies on local and metropolitan environmental issues with the Rouen Normandy Metropolis;
Contribute expertise in the field of concertation to feed academic work and produce a set of recommendations.
