From citizens’ assemblies and participatory budgeting to local climate initiatives and community-led action, democratic innovation offers important tools to connect climate ambition with public ownership and social justice. This session is not about participation as a symbolic exercise. It is about understanding how participatory approaches can strengthen climate governance, improve decision-making processes, and create more resilient and democratic pathways for transition. The webinar will explore key questions such as: How can citizen participation strengthen climate governance and democratic legitimacy? What democratic innovations and participatory mechanisms are helping communities shape climate policies and transitions? How can institutions better connect local experiences and citizen knowledge with national and European climate action? What challenges and risks must be addressed to ensure participation is inclusive, meaningful, and impactful? You can join the webinar through this Zoom link. ...
