The Climate and Energy Model (CEM) regions are the major vehicles for implementation of this target. Until now little research was done on existing participatory governance measures in the Austrian CEM regions, which involve not only stakeholders but also inhabitants into decision-making processes on energy transition. The aim of this paper is to collect information about existing participatory governance measures in three CEMs, such as Freistadt, Baden and Ebreichsdorf, and to analyze these measures by using methodologies developed by Arnstein in his ladder of participation. Our results show that the majority of existing measures are at the level of providing information and awareness building. However, there are also some measures, such as energy groups, which allow all interested inhabitants for providing feedback about proposed in their CEM projects. Other measures, such as Helios or Badener Sonnerkraft, allow for financial participation of inhabitants in deployment of renewable energy projects in their region. date: 2017-05 date_type: published publisher: WP-17-003 creators_browse_id: 251 creators_browse_id: 161 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper place_of_pub: IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Riegler, M. , Vogler, C., Neumueller, S., & Komendantova, N.
