Abstract

The ECOSENS project (Economic and Social Considerations for the Future of Nuclear Energy in Society) aims to create a neutral space where specialists in social sciences and humanities (including economics, sociology, social psychology, Science and Technology Studies, among others) and in nuclear energy research and policy meet, exchange views, and collaborate with civil society and other stakeholders to assess the future of nuclear energy in society in terms of public attitudes, sustainability of the entire lifecycle, and emerging investment models. Within Work Package 1, with its goal of a collaborative assessment of (imagined) energy worlds, Task 1.2 has two aims. First, to provide insight into the motivations behind and experiences with public participation in protest and advocacy movements focused on energy, sustainability, and climate change, with a particular emphasis on nuclear energy. Second, to explore the motivations and rationales of ecomodernism, both as a concept and as a
movement.
