People, Place, and Planet: Place-Sensitive Participatory Policy Development for a Just Transition to Net Zero

This report reflects the findings of one of the research projects funded by the British Academy under its Where We Live Next programme. It contributes to a series of Policy Insight Case Studies drawing on SHAPE insights to provide practical illustrations of cross-cutting themes and principles for place-sensitive policymaking. The report contents are the sole responsibility of the authors.

It explores Participatory Policy Development as a tool through which a fair and just transition to net zero can be achieved. Through a series of workshops in Luton, Hartlepool and Newcastle, the policies which could enable person-centred, place-sensitive policymaking are explored.
