"It's a sham process with participation" that's how residents describe local planning in the Norwegian Arctic. Only 2 of 10 citizen participation forms give real influence, and only on minor issues. Mining, wind farms, climate decisions? Made without community input journals.plos.org/sustainabili...

The Sustainable Development Goals are not on track. Sustainable transformation requires thinking globally and acting locally. Focusing on spatial planning as an instrument for sustainable transformation, I studied citizen participation practices in municipalities in the Norwegian Arctic. Through spatial planning, municipalities decide where, for instance, factories, mines, wind parks, houses, and cabins can be built, which activities are allowed in coastal zones, and which areas are reserved for military activities. Such decisions can damage nature, pollute the environment, and worsen climate change. In Norway, citizen participation in municipal spatial planning is mandatory to ensure livable conditions for future generations. I interviewed 75 residents to find out how different actors experience citizen participation in planning processes. The results show that current practice lacks genuine cooperation, fails to incorporate local knowledge and hardly leads to citizens’ influence. The interviewees feel citizens lack opportunities to participate in the initial planning and decision-making phases. Although on paper, climate and nature conservation measures are clearly included in municipal plans, the interviewees highlight that in practice, these measures are often not implemented. The interviews show that many municipal decisions conflict with local values and the importance of nature in people's daily lives.

Abstract
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires action at all lev-
els, from local to global, through synergy among all societal actors. Norway shares
responsibility for SDG-based sustainable development with local authorities (munici-
palities and counties). The Planning and Building Act’s purpose clause stipulates that
it shall promote sustainable development for the benefit of individuals, society and
future generations. Municipal responsibility for sustainable development, when incor-
porated into planning processes, is complex and requires the inclusion of diverse
knowledge holders. Focusing on spatial planning as an instrument for sustainable
transformation, this study examined citizen participation practices at the municipal
level in the Norwegian Arctic. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 75 res-
idents with very diverse backgrounds. Using inductive thematic analysis, I coded
forms of citizen participation, their characteristics, and their links with sustainability
and transformation. I further analyzed the forms using Arnstein’s ladder of citizen par-
ticipation and Fung’s cube of democracy. I identified 10 forms of citizen participation
in planning processes. Only two of these give citizens the opportunity to influence
decisions, but only on matters less relevant to sustainability. A link to sustainability
and transformation is prominent in all forms. Citizens emphasize the importance of
focusing on climate adaptation, nature conservation, and local values. Loc…
