Transitions towards sustainability require a deep commitment from citizens in different locations. For citizens and activists, this event will bring the opportunity to interact with MOTION projects happening in their own cities, and to have a space to raise their efforts and concerns towards sustainability transformations. Partners from SuSMo and ACT on NBS are key to starting and engaging in a dialogue with citizens and activists. For policymakers and researchers, this event will shed light on the importance and challenges for citizen engagement in innovative sustainability projects.
