The Webnars address the six main challenges that slow down and reduce Democratic Innovations’ capacity to develop their full transformative potential when dealing with environmental topics, as those approached by the EGD.  The sessions were organized on specific questions and grouped into two main domains: the organisational architecture of democratic innovation on the one hand, the communication among actors, and the negotiations among their expectations and interests for improved cooperation on the other hand.
