Discussion
If you would like to ask a question or comment, please use the Webex chat

Speakers and participants of the webinar will be invited to reflect on the following questions:

  • How can we make sense of the regulatory framework? E.g., what are some typical bottlenecks?  Are there opportunities for simplification?   
  • Can the land-use planning process be improved to be more efficient and/or transparent? If so, how?
  • What challenges are there in relation to communication, awareness, and engagement in relation to different stakeholders?
    • industry, e.g., new operators,  design of equipment and installations?
    • regulators, e.g., across competences and local/regional/national jurisdictions
    • policy makers, e.g., national, supranational?
      What could be some ideas on how to address them?
