This presentation outlines an approach for siting wind turbines that increases citizen acceptance through local adaptation. It involves an early and ongoing collaborative process between local citizens, municipalities, and project developers to share information, learn from each other, and gradually adapt the project to local physical and social conditions. The goal is to build social capital and trust in the community which leads to greater acceptance of projects and societal benefits like economic growth and environmental action. Challenges include gaining interest from citizens, establishing trust, and overcoming closed social networks or limited influence.
