PROactive Strategies and Policies for Energy Citizenship Transformation

About us

EnergyPROSPECTS (PROactive Strategies and Policies for Energy Citizenship Transformation) works with a critical understanding of energy citizenship that is grounded in the state-of-the-art Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) insights. Funded under the EU Horizon 2020 programme for three years, under GA No.101022492EnergyPROSPECTS, and aims to develop a broad understanding of energy citizenship as a policy concept, a sociotechnical imaginary, a knowing-of-governance, i.e. a social construction of desirable/normal civic agency in future energy systems. The project will identify and examine a range of cross-cutting issues in energy citizenship, which will inform iterative typology development and criteria for case selection.

  • 🌏 XR hasn't gained widespread momentum in Belgium yet, but it's cultivated a distinct identity and organizational structure. While it's a global movement, local XR branches often tailor their demands to fit national contexts. In Belgium, for instance, a key demand is a legally-binding plan to phase out fossil fuels by 2025. Our EnergyPROSPECTS project has researched 40 energy citizenship cases across 9 nations, offering insights into sustainable energy initiatives. 🌍🌱 #XR #EnergyCitizenship #Sustainability

    Az Extinction Rebellion egy globális hálózat, amely erőszakmentes, közvetlen akciókkal próbálja rávenni a kormányokat, hogy ambiciózus lépéseket tegyenek a klímaváltozás és az ökológiai vészhelyzet ellen. Ennek a hálózatnak a tagja az XR Belgium, illetve az XR Etterbeek is. 👪 Az XR egyelőre nem vált olyan tömegmozgalommá Belgiumban, amely jelentős politikai-társadalmi hatással bírna. Kialakított azonban egy sajátos szervezeti struktúrát és kollektív identitást, és számos tagjukat felkészítették arra, hogy képes legyen szükség esetén hatékonyan fellépni. Az Extinction Rebellion Belgium egyik fő követelése, hogy "a kormány 2025-ig léptessen életbe egy átfogó, jogilag kötelező erejű nemzeti vészhelyzeti tervet, amely fokozatosan megszünteti a fosszilis tüzelőanyagok kitermelését és importját. ⛽ Ez a poszt része annak a sorozatunknak, amelyben az EnergyPROSPECTS projektünk keretében részletesen elemzett energia állampolgársághoz kötődő esetet mutatunk be Európa több országából. 🗺️ 📍 Az eset részletes elemzését itt olvashatod el (angol nyelven): https://lnkd.in/dmkFG9yc Bővebben a projektről itt: https://lnkd.in/dwa4p-zM Az összes elemzett eset itt található meg: https://lnkd.in/gtG2wwF5 [ENG] XR Belgium, of which XR Etterbeek forms a part, is the Belgian branch of Extinction Rebellion, a global network that uses non-violent direct action to try to force governments to act on the climate and ecological emergency. 👪 XR did not (as of now) become a mass movement in Belgium with significant political-social impact. It did develop a specific organisational structure and collective identity, and many individuals were trained and empowered to stand up when the time comes. Although Extinction Rebellion is a global network, a closer look at the national/local "branches" shows that their demands and framings can differ. Regarding Extinction Rebellion Belgium specifically, one of their three main demands is "that the Government enacts a comprehensive, legally-binding National Emergency Plan which phases out the extraction and import of fossil fuels by 2025". ⛽ In the EnergyPROSPECTS project, we studied 40 cases of energy citizenship from 9 countries in detail. 🗺️ In our post series, we present one of these cases every week. 📍 Find the detailed case study here: https://lnkd.in/dmkFG9yc If you want to check out all the cases that we analysed, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gtG2wwF5 #EnergyPROSPECTS #energiaállampolgárság #energycitizenship #extinctionrebellion #xretterbeek #xrbelgium
