Energy-themed citizens’ assembly

The Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment wanted to explore citizens’ views on issues related to household energy use. To this end, an energy-themed citizens’ assembly was organized. The assembly was implemented by researchers from the University of Turku and the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) as part of the FLAIRE research consortium.

The Citizens’ Assembly was held in January-February 2025 and participants were selected through a random sample of all adult citizens across Finland.
