part of Citizen Science
In this webinar, hosted by the Energy Institute, Luke Gooding will share insights and findings from SEI York’s Community Energy – Citizen Science (CE-CS) project.
The CE-CS project brought together community energy groups and stakeholders across the UK and used a citizen science approach to explore how these initiatives can scale their activities while maximising social and environmental impact. During the webinar, Luke will draw on this research to highlight lessons from engagement with community organisations. He will focus on the governance, finance and delivery challenges these groups face, as well as the support they identify as needed from policy and industry.
The session will also reflect on the role of citizen-led approaches in shaping more inclusive, locally grounded energy transitions and consider the implications for practitioners working across the sector.
