Co-existence in times of transition

Important results from the project

The project has highlighted dialogue around values linked to landscape and energy transition, in Södermanland and Dalarna. Open talks with members from local community associations and wind power companies highlighted the need for: - space for dialogues around landscape, energy transition and local social development - a common language around landscape and energy transition - common rules for dialogue - that municipality and county boards take a clearer role in the place-based dialogue.

Expected long term effects

The results may influence which forums developed and designed to accommodate a dialogue for landscapes, local communities and investments to meet; how and where municipalities include landscape values ​​in planning documents, providing a clearer tool for those with authority over the locality. In the longer term, this may contribute to a shift from conflict of interest to shared problem formulation and thereby coexistence with a socially sustainable industry and attractive living environments.

Approach and implementation

The project has been implemented in five work packages with: two digital workshops with local heritage movement and wind power companies, three project workshops (Dalarna county board participated in one), two workshops in Södermanland (Årdala) and Dalarna (Ludvika incl Dalarna county board), one digital workshop (Dalarna), updates, final seminar (hybrid with ≈200 digital participants), digital publication. The project developed as planned, within the timeframe. Collaboration has worked well.
