Climate adaptation and green transition often require decisions that directly affect people’s everyday lives, property, and local communities. How do we balance professional assessments of what is necessary and consideration for citizens’ experiences, values, and concerns? Through a case study of strategic withdrawal, we examine the tension between expert roles, citizen involvement and responsible decision-making within this workshop.
This workshop is held as part of the National Climate Summit 2026 in Lemvig. The workshop will take place on the second day of the Summit (20th of August 2026) at 11.25-13.40 (including a lunch break). Only physical participation is possible. Participation requires registration for the National Climate Summit 2026. Link: https://klimatorium.dk/ktm26-tilmelding/?lang=en-GB . The venue is Climatorium, Havnen 8, Lemvig.
Facilitator: Maj-Britt Quitzau from Aalborg University.
