How to empower co-creation and cooperation between local authorities, civil society, business and other local actors to foster ecological and social sustainability?
How can cities and communities turn big sustainability goals into concrete local action? A new publication from the We Make Transition! project offers a compelling answer. Drawing on real-life experiences from 12 cities across the Baltic Sea Region, this guide introduces the Transition Arena method – a practical, participatory approach that brings local authorities, civil society, businesses and residents around the same table to co-create solutions for a more ecological and socially sustainable future.
From biodiversity and circular economy to food systems and youth involvement, the publication shows how inclusive dialogue, shared visioning and concrete follow-up actions can spark lasting change at the local level. If you are looking for inspiration, tools and lessons learned on how to empower cooperation and move from talk to action, this is a document worth diving into.
