title: Living in the shadow of the solar park - Analysing the community and stakeholder engagement of the realisation of the solar park located in Wanneperveen, The Netherlands
creator: Heidema, Leonie
description: This research analyses how community and stakeholder involvement was incorporated into the  development of the Wanneperveen solar park in the Netherlands as part of local efforts to meet the  Paris Agreement's climate targets. The study explores, through qualitative research, how the local  community and stakeholders perceive the public engagement in the project. Furthermore, it  investigated the community suggestions to improve public participation. According to the findings,  local people, Dorpsbelang, a local interest group, and other stakeholders have conflicting views on  public participation. These views may be due to poor communication and different perceptions.  Locals advocate for early community involvement, more transparency, and a more proactive role for  the municipality in facilitating stakeholder engagement.
