To understand what levers of action could be used to engage the local population<\/p>\n
In 2017, the M\u00e9tropole of Rouen launched a climate action agreement called \u201cNotre COP21\u201d (\u201cOur COP21\u201d) to mitigate the city\u2019s urban area CO2 emissions. To this end, a local IPCC was set up, the Rouen Agreement for Climate was signed and an action plan was developed. This Territorial Climate, Air and Energy Plan (PCAET) contains a 73% GHG reduction objective by 2030.<\/p>\n
To achieve this, the M\u00e9tropole of Rouen can count on the help of its citizens, from scientists to residents.<\/p>\n
To tackle climate change, the M\u00e9tropole of Rouen built its climate action plan on strong scientific foundations. Along with the local COP pact, a local IPCC was set up, featuring only local academics. Through a multidisciplinary approach (social and natural science), they aim to generate climate change expertise grounded on local knowledge.<\/p>\n
Concerning citizen participation, the local IPCC led a social psychology study called \u201cRepresentations and behaviors of local populations regarding climate change\u201d to understand what levers of action could be used to engage the local population in this project. One conclusion of the study was that \u201cit may be more relevant to engage with people at the level of effects rather than causes, and even more so if the effects are discussed at a local level\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
