C-CHANGE Expert Joint Planning Group meets in Esch/Belval on 4th and 5th October


In the framework of the INTERREG IB project C-CHANGE (Changing climate, Changing Lives), a group of experts from across North West Europe met at AGORA in Esch/Belval on 4th and 5th October to draft their final recommendations in response to the question, how can citizens, communities and all stakeholders be actively engaged in practical responses to climate change?


These recommendations are informed by project partners’ own experiences in engaging various groups of stakeholders (citizens, politicians, schools, associations, NGOs etc) in their C-Change partner projects. To view all transnational projects online and discover how they relate to each other and the overall objectives of the partnership visit http://www.cchangeproject.org/projects The recommendations will be published next year in the project’s final report.

The meeting was organised by CIPU who is an active member of this working group.

About C-Change:


The C-CHANGE project aims to achieve a change in attitudes and practical responses to the challenges of climate change in city regions, by finding, testing and demonstrating answers to three questions. These form the project's three objectives:

  • How can citizens, communities and all stakeholders be actively engaged in practical responses to climate change?
  • How can our new urban landscapes help us to mitigate and adapt to climate change?
  • How well do spatial planning strategies prepare our city regions to mitigate and adapt to climate change?

The C-Change partnership comprises 9 organisations in 7 city regions in North West Europe:

  • Groundwork London (UK)
  • Regional Authority FrankfurtRheinMain (DE)
  • The Greater London Authority (UK)
  • Saarland Ministry of the Environment (DE)
  • Department for Spatial Planning of the Ministry for Sustainable development and Infrastructures (LU)
  • Forestry Commission (UK)
  • Province of Gelderland (NL)
  • Ile-de-France Region (FR)
