What Went On: Process, Interaction, and Participation
Participants gathered during 3 weekends from April until July. They were expected to provide answers to the following question: what policy instruments should the region use in order to achieve a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the short run (2020) and long run (2050)? Upon their final meeting, participants wrote a report with policy recommendations.
Influence, Outcomes, and Effects
Participants wrote a final report including eight general policy recommendations for the region (e.g. investing in public transport, green energies, and local agriculture; providing monetary incentives for private citizens to improve the insulation of their houses; etc.).
