Consent Form

Dear Participator,

We hereby contact you on behalf of the CLIMAS project “CLIMAte change citizens engagement toolbox for dealing with Societal resilience” to collect your consent to collect your opinions and feedback on citizen assemblies and your current experience related with deliberative democracy.

CLIMAS IN A NUTSHELL The main project ambition is to learn from the ongoing and past experiences in citizens' engagement in climate change action such as Climate assemblies and Living labs and help the diverse European regions and local communities to resist through deliberative democracy. The ambition of the CLIMAS project is to deliver an innovative problem-oriented climate adoption Toolbox, co-designed together with stakeholders by applying a values-based approach, design thinking methods and citizen science to promote their direct engagement and empowerment. CLIMAS will formulate scientific based guidelines for policymakers on how to shift Climate Assemblies from technically based deliberations that belong to climate change experts to multi-stakeholders’ deliberations based on solving societal dilemmas from a bottom-up perspective.
