Outcome of online engagement with citizens from Spain

When asked for their views and proposals on climate adaptation and on the Mission in particular, participants prioritised these 4 actions :

1. Teach how to take advantage of natural resources and reduce waste
2. Incentives for ecological agriculture to lower production costs
3. Optimise natural resources by recovering native crops
4. Encourage and reward citizens to consume locally and recycle

They also recommended to

• Enforce laws for renewable energy and circular systems in housing;
• To raise awareness, educate, and sensibilise the population about effects of climate change;
• Create groups, cooperatives, institutions, which can mobilise individuals;
• To learn from indigenous practices

The feedback from this citizens event was very positive. Participants appreciated to be part of the process where the concrete missions will be defined, and all declared they would follow the progress of the EU missions in the future. They also showed interest in getting involved in research and innovation.
