PHOENIX_H2020

The battle against climate change and environmental damage is an urgent issue for Europe and across the globe. The European Green Deal (EGD) is the European plan to make the Union’s economy sustainable and to enable a just and inclusive transition pathway. Since the substantial change outlined by the EGD is expected to have a strong impact on citizens’ lives, active public participation is paramount for policies’ success. PHOENIX is a European research project that aims to increase the transformative potential of Democratic Innovations (DIs) to address specific topics of the European Green Deal. In order to realize this objective, the project will enrich the traditional DIs through a portfolio of sound methodologies and tools, and test the Enriched Democratic Innovations in 11 pilots in 7 countries. Finally, PHOENIX will support the mainstreaming, scalability and adaptability of the methodologies tested and assessed in the pilots, leveraging an inter-pilot dialogue grounded on evidence-based results, and building collectively a series of Policy Recommendations. ************** This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101037328
