Challenges and solutions
Challenge 4
Institutions and Local Authorities go face to face
with public: communication and participation is a
risk? Public participation in decision making
Challenge 3
Solution 4Solution 3
Clarify public role and competences in a
transparent and smart modality.
New language approach and new perspective
Discuss about technical problems and themes
(hazard and risk maps, Flood Risk Management
Plans, etc) with citizens and local communities
(non expert stakeholders)
Challenge 2
Feedback mechanisms and participation are
essential ingredients to developed effective
policies
Challenge 1
Solution 2Solution 1
Stakeholder engagement with innovative
mechanisms
Team building and Action Planning
New orchestration capability needs to be
developed

Participation is a hard task for
citizens, but can be extremely
interesting: dedicate your time in
these initiatives!!
