NIMBY

NIMBY is an acronym that stands for “Not in my back yard”. It refers to the phenomenon that residents, for example, welcome a particular measure (e.g. grid development measures required in the context of renewable energy projects) in general but oppose the idea that the implementation of the measure takes place close-by (“in their back yard”).
