Session description
The closing session is a follow up to last year’s ‘EOL Stakeholder engagement’ workshop and explores how to meaningfully involve local communities in wind farm end-of-life —an area with limited precedent. While community engagement is well-established, end-of-life practices require new approaches focused on transparency, site restoration, and future land use. Join us to shape inclusive, community-driven practices for the final phase of wind energy.
