Abstract

The panel will present research on citizen participation and democratic innovations in addressing climate change, as these are increasingly being used in policy processes. On the one hand, citizen participation serves to legitimise government action; on the other hand, it encourages citizens to participate in creative and innovative solutions. Topics include the role of public administrators in shaping participatory processes, the use of digital platforms for inclusive community decision-making, the legislative impact of citizens' climate assemblies, and collaborative efforts for sustainable regional transitions. Taken together, these studies provide insights into the potential of citizen participation to inform and drive climate action at different levels of governance.
