Theoretical Framework for the Definition of Locally-Embedded Future Policy Scenarios

Abstract

[Abstract] This document presents the common conceptual framework for the development of locally embedded policy scenarios in the SMARTEES case studies. The conceptual framework will inform the methodology for the co-creation of policy scenarios in each case, but also aims to be a stand-alone tool that policy-makers can use to conceptualize and implement the policy tools that can lead to citizen engagement with and acceptance of energy policy, the adoption of sustainable energy behaviours and to adequately manage setbacks and conflicts in the process.
