Webinar – Mapping the socio-environmental impacts of wind energy

This webinar showcases models and tools developed within the WIMBY project, designed to help planners, researchers, and citizens understand and visualise the multiple impacts of wind energy projects — from health, noise, and shadow flicker, to landscape changes, life cycle analysis (LCA), and regulatory frameworks.

  • Objective: Present and discuss the models developed within WIMBY to assess socio-environmental impacts.
  • Highlight: A live demo of the WIMBY Interactive Map – see how different impacts are mapped and connected.
  • Keynote speaker: Cristina Lopez Madrid (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).
