Introduction : Young creators and responsibilities for the new green transition

Abstract

Trust has emerged as a pivotal element in contemporary societal debates, shaping the way communities, organizations, and individuals navigate the complex contemporary challenges and crises. As we confront pressing global issues, like the green transition, fostering trust becomes an essential foundation for meaningful collaboration and democratic participation. The article discusses outcomes of the ENUTC-project "Trustmaking. Young Creators and Responsibilities for the New Green Transition" (2022–2025), which brought together a diverse group of stakeholders from academic institutions, city or municipal administrations, businesses, youth organisations, and civil society organisations in order to develop actionable strategies for trust through youth-centred urban planning approaches.
