Energy and net zero transitions depend on meaningful public engagement. How society engages with these issues is undergoing significant changes. In response, the Public Engagement Observatory of the UK Energy Research Centre has launched a new call for evidence.
The call forms part of the Observatory’s regularly updated mappings of the diverse ways that publics are engaging with energy and climate change across the UK. The Observatory openly shares these insights and works with others to improve decision-making, innovations and public participation on energy and climate by making them more responsive to society.
If you know of interesting or significant cases of public engagement with energy, climate change or net zero occurring in the UK that you think should be included in the Observatory’s updated mapping, please submit your evidence here.
We welcome submitted cases that reflect the diverse public engagements occurring, ranging from those that express views and opinions through to taking action, those that are institution-led through to citizen-led, those that are high-profile through to more mundane everyday occurrences, those that bring resistance or support, and those that are often marginalised, unrecognised or excluded.
The call for evidence remains open until 28th February 2026.
