A table showing different forms of community participation. The top third of the table summarises modes of community engagement that are done 'with' people, the middle third includes modes of engagement that are done 'for' people, and the bottom third modes of engagement that are done 'to' people. The table draws on iterations of Armstein's ladder of participation.
Nice figure capturing the spectrum of community participation, from deep and participative, to shallow and communicative.
Importantly, decisions made about how (and whether) to engage people around energy system change have consequences for the kind of system we will end up with.
