France is one of the largest economies in the world, with extraordinary social and economic development. However, climate change poses a major challenge, with temperatures across France steadily rising. Additionally, there are sociodemographic challenges related to its aging population.

The challenges that France faces are multifaceted, but to address the issue of supporting the European Green Deal, PHOENIX opted for focusing on a comprehensive energy strategy that incorporates crucial elements. Currently, France relies on nuclear generators to produce energy, so increasing efforts are required to expand renewables. The French government is finalizing plans for the installation of offshore wind turbines along the French coast.

In light of the challenges facing France, PHOENIX proposes a comprehensive public debate on the impacts of offshore wind turbine installations. The participatory process will utilize various tools to engage a diverse public, including vulnerable populations, to gather public opinion on the optimal maritime areas for windfarm construction.

This process will involve a general debate among randomly-selected participants on the criteria for selecting windfarm locations, the creation of a role-playing game to consider non-human elements, the collection of specific proposals regarding the best locations for windmill installation, and the synthesis of all information to ensure that any emerging contradictions are adequately addressed.
