D1.1 Stakeholder Mapping and Baseline Analysis of Local Ecosystems

This deliverable is part of the iCOSHELLs project, funded under the EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe,” and presents the stakeholder mapping and baseline (PESTLE) analysis for six Soil Health Living Labs in the Basque Country, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Sweden to support effective multi-stakeholder engagement and co-creation. Using a mixed-methods approach (quantitative ratings and qualitative survey inputs), stakeholders were identified, categorised, and assessed through a Power/Interest Matrix, while baseline conditions were analysed via a PESTLE framework (political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental) as of October 2024. The report provides Living Lab–specific insights into stakeholder landscapes, baseline dynamics, and their implications for participatory governance and co-creation processes. It delivers open-access data and actionable recommendations to enable locally relevant, scientifically robust, and socially accepted soil health solutions, and directly informs the project’s co-creation governance framework in Deliverable D1.3.
