We are united beyond our individual approaches in collectively recognising the importance of a voluntary set of baseline principles and criteria which act as guidance irrespective of socio-economic context, sector, regulatory differences, and acceleration efforts. These principles focus only on addressing root causes of public opposition to new RES and grids at the local level. In doing so, the endorsing organisations signal a strong willingness to get together beyond sector boundaries and to enable mayors and local government staff to better mediate between interests on the local level by referring to a European cross-sector consensus on the deployment of Fast & Fair Renewables & Grids.
