The outcomes of the three national consensus building events organized under the AII.4 Activity of the Wind4Bio project are summarised in this report.
These events were held in Greece, Latvia and Poland with the aim of introducing the Wind4Bio approach, evaluating the consultation mechanism in a real-world context, and gathering valuable insights to refine its functionality through the involvement of diverse stakeholders.
The report is divided into five sections:
- Overview of Consensus-Building Events: A concise presentation of the national events held in Greece, Latvia, and Poland, focusing on key discussion topics and conclusions.
- Event Assessment: A review based on evaluations completed by organizers and attendees, providing valuable insights into the events’ success and impact.
- Feedback Analysis: A synthesis of participants’ perspectives, captured through evaluation forms, highlighting strengths, challenges, and recommendations for adopting Wind4Bio tools.
- Key Lessons: Crucial insights from the evaluations, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the consultation mechanism and optimizing future event organization.
- Recommendations: Actionable suggestions based on lessons learned, evaluations, and feedback from Activity II.3, to improve the online consultation platform and event preparation.
The key insights derived from the evaluation of the consensus-building events are essential for enhancing the effectiveness of the online consultation mechanism and optimizing the organization of future events. Overall, the goals of integrating biodiversity considerations in wind energy projects were effectively communicated in order to reduce their environmental impact and improve public acceptance.
