Abstract

To achieve the recommendation stated in the chapter title, we propose the following:

Ensure that citizens have appropriate knowledge to meaningfully participate in the energy transition by providing accessible information that reflects citizens' contexts.

Consider the framing of information to support participation in the energy transition, including the broader impact, and relationships of energy transitions with other aspects of everyday life.

Draw upon existing networks, independent intermediaries, and communication channels to build trust in the information provided.

Bring together Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) and more technical researchers to explore potential energy futures and the diverse knowledge required for citizens to meaningfully participate in, and benefit from, these energy futures.
