100 climate citizens’ councils have been founded worldwide

Around the world, 100 citizens’ councils have been founded where interested citizens deliberate or have deliberated on climate policy. This is according to a list by the German association „Mehr Demokratie“ (More democracy). In such climate citizens’ councils, randomly selected members of the public come together to submit proposals to politicians for more climate action. They are being advised by experts in the process. Another goal is to involve citizens more directly in political decision-making.
