ReThinking (in systems) the energy transition in a Metropolis

ReThinking (in systems) the energy transition in a Metropolis

Towards a global and systemic approach to support the energy transition of the Rouen Normandy Metropolis.

Our challenge

Acting alone in ecological transition, as an individual, considerably limits the consequences of our actions and often generates a feeling of powerlessness or inefficiency. By changing scale, countries, regions and even metropolises support technical and technological approaches, promote the development of industrial and economic sectors, and commit their territory to strategies with ambitious objectives. But how can we, as citizens, feel involved or listened to under these conditions? What impact will these strategies have on my daily life? Will these solutions really benefit everyone? Is this the right approach? This challenge offers you the opportunity to help the Rouen Normandy Metropolitan Area which represents an area of 500,000 inhabitants to the north-west of Paris, to rethink its energy transition by considering all the external factors and impacts acting on the territory, and not by limiting to technical actions. Your mission is to develop and formulate a systemic approach for re-evaluating the energy transition of The Rouen Normandy metropolis, "thinking in systems".
