“A Boost for Rural Lignite Regions” - Eastern Greater Poland's Mental Landscape Report

“A Boost for Rural Lignite Regions” aims to develop an online simulation tool that will be used for stakeholder engagement in three European energy transition areas. The project focuses on three regions: Lusatia in Germany, Konin in Poland, and Gorj in Romania. The first project year, REBOOST focuses mainly on understanding the study areas, the stakeholders' perceptions and attitudes termed the mental landscape which encompasses the manoeuvre spaces as well as the barriers and opportunities for decarbonisation actions. Consequently, the emphasis is placed on an “individual and personal spectrum”, hence how the stakeholders see their own current and future situation and in lieu of a general spectrum i.e., in terms of the populations economic, social, and political situation.
