Breucker, F. & Barbas, A. “Report on citizen engagement activities“, Report, Full-fill Project, February 2024

This paper presents the outcomes of Task 7.1 within the FULFILL project. It focuses on citizen engage-ment and citizen science to enhance the quality and public acceptance of policy recommendations on sufficiency. Led by the Jacques Delors Institute in collaboration with all project partners, this task aimed to engage European citizens in exploring sufficiency lifestyles through a series of three work-shops. The workshops provided a platform for participants to critically examine their lifestyles and assess the feasibility and potential benefits of altering daily consumption and investment decisions in alignment with sufficiency principles. Drawing on prior research on citizen science methodologies, the workshops explored drivers, barriers, and co-benefits of sufficiency habits, as well as the impact of communication strategies on behaviour change. This paper outlines the methodologies employed dur-ing the workshops, presents key findings and insights generated through participant discussions, and considers the implications of these findings. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of inclusive, participatory approaches in advancing the green transition, underscoring the relevance of citizen engagement in shaping effective policy interventions.
