CLIMAS

OBJECTIVE
CLIMAS aims to revolutionise climate adaptation by engaging citizens through an innovative, problem-oriented climate adaptation toolbox. This comprehensive approach integrates citizen science, design thinking, and a values-based methodology to empower communities in making informed decisions about climate resilience. By advocating for inclusive, bottom-up climate policymaking, the project strives to bolster societal resilience through active citizen participation.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
CLIMAS has successfully launched the first iteration of the toolbox, which seamlessly integrates diverse climate adaptation tools across all stages of problem-solving–from understanding community needs to defining issues and prototyping solutions. Initial testing in Catalunya has demonstrated the toolbox's efficacy in fostering citizen-led decision-making, while also identifying key factors influencing citizen participation. Building on this success, CLIMAS plans to expand its reach with more Climate Assemblies. Furthermore, the project has set benchmarks for deliberative practices, paving the way for inclusive, transparent, and sustainable climate governance practices throughout Europe, thereby enhancing citizen engagement in shaping their future.
