What we do

The project forecasts the following main innovative practices:

  • CO2 Pacman Rooting Labs. Three-day workshops in pilot islands (1st round) made of co-working and interactive sessions involving project partners and local stakeholders for onsite investigations, data collection, knowledge sharing and discussion on specific potential solutions.

  • CO2 Pacman Tool. The Carbon Footprint of the island will be assessed and represented in terms of virtual forestland needed to absorb the equivalent amount of CO2 emission.

  • Citizen Engagement. A set of activities, inspired by the BLUE DEAL “askyourcitizensonbe” tool, will be defined to let citizens be the main actors in the participatory process and contribute to identifying the best chances for transition to a low-carbon economy.

  • Youth Think Tank. Engagement of young students of secondary schools and universities of pilot islands and beyond called to co-create and represent their vision of a net zero carbon future.

  • Open Innovation Collaborative Action. Engagement of technical and technological companies called to send their proposals in the field of renewable energies and ecosystem-based solutions.

  • 3D virtual reality experience. 3D simulations in a virtual world, containing landscapes, location-specific objects and 3D intervention elements to help PAs, stakeholders and citizens visualize and assess potential installations and interact within a virtual environment for a highly engaging immersive experience.

  • CO2 Pacman “The Island I Would Like” Labs and transition Roadmap. Three-day workshops in pilot islands (2nd round) aimed at presentation and discussion of project results open to local stakeholders and citizens and synthesis of a climate-neutral transition Roadmap
