Rethinking Co-creation of Digital and Environmental Policy in Systems of Multilevel Governance (RECODE MLG) is a proposal for Horizon Europe on multilevel governance in times of digital and climate transitions.
The project addresses one of the major, unresolved challenges facing the world today—the transition to societies that are both digital and sustainable.
While digitalisation increases energy consumption and places burdens on the natural environment, it can also drive technological innovations that facilitate the green transition.
The project explores co-creation as a way to achieve this goal by actively bringing together policymakers, stakeholders, citizens, and volunteers.
Through collaboration, they work to identify both challenges and solutions related to the transition.
RECODE assesses governance structures at three critical sites of twin transition and designs and implements four co-creation labs. “The goal is to develop up-to-date knowledge and formulate policy recommendations, as well as a practical ‘tool-kit’ that supports inclusive policymaking for the green transition within the EU’s multi-level governance.”
