How to meet landscape-related concerns towards local renewable energy projects?

Recent research literature clearly shows that there is a general support in the European public for renewable energies, but that the local implementation of renewable energy systems increasingly meets local opposition. Thereby, concerns regarding landscape impacts play a key role. In our working group of the COST Action RELY, we focus on local and place- based mechanisms of these concerns. In particular, we aim to increase the understanding of socio- cultural factors for these landscape related concerns and to suggest participatory tools that help to address and meet these concerns. To achieve this goal, we plan to Abstracts │ Special Session COST Action RELY│57 a) explore the reasons for landscape- related concerns towards renewable energy systems in different sociocultural contexts in Europe using shared methodological approaches, and b) conduct an inventory of innovative practices of involving the local public in the planning of renewable energy systems. In the paper, the conceptual framework of our approach and first ideas of the planned procedure will be presented and discussed.
