Climate Action needs the active involvement of all citizens to succeed. The event will look at five different experiences of how to engage citizens in climate action that have in common the understanding that only strong co-productive action of governments and citizens will make the ecological conversion happen. The radical changes we have before us need strong forces that act \u201cfrom below\u201d and involve social groups that in the past have received little attention in the dominant technocratic approach from above.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Engaging local communities and municipalities to build an inclusive, resilient, and effective\u00a0\"\" climate movement<\/strong>
\nWhat started as a Covid restraint, no COP in 2020, became a real opportunity for deep social engagement of people, organizations, and municipalities in Israel to make the climate topic their own. The Israel Climate Coalition of over 80 organizations, set an ambitious goal – to reach all sectors and regions of society at the local level. 14 regional climate conferences took place that addressed local environmental and social topics and put them in the broader context of the climate crisis to both validate the local causes and empower the national Climate movement.
\nRony Erez, Co-Director of the Heschel Center for Sustainability and a member of the Israeli Climate Coalition, Tel Aviv<\/p>\n

\u2022 Engaging women\u2019s organisations to promote gender-responsive urban climate policy<\/strong>
\nGenderCC\u2019s project \u2018Gender into Urban Climate Change Initiative\u2019 has brought together women\u2019s organisations from four countries and 14 pilot cities to assess urban climate action from a gender perspective and develop recommendations for gender-responsive policies. We present findings and lessons learned and launch a guidebook on GenderCC\u2019s gender assessment approach.

\u2022 Citizen engagement in sustainable energy transition<\/strong>
\nWe are living through a fundamental shift from a fossil energy system and energy culture to one based on renewables. This transition entails dramatic changes in the way people use electricity, heat their homes, and move around. The social changes promise to be more revolutionary than the technological ones, an insight which the European Commission has taken up pushing the concept of energy citizenship. Three EU flagship research projects, Greta, Enclude e DIALOGUES are asking how to engage citizens who up to now have no agency in the energy transition, vulnerable groups, often threatened by energy poverty or health risks, elderly, single mothers, and women in general. We will look at Citizens Action Labs which DIALOGUES uses for these social groups to find their own voice in the energy transition.

\u2022 Glasgow\u2019s Open Space Strategy \u2013 tackling societal, health and environmental problems<\/strong>
\nGlasgow is using a placed-based approach to deliver a variety of benefits for people and nature. With their open space strategy and using nature-based solutions Glasgow is seeking to link people and place to encourage ownership and stewardship – particularly driving entrepreneurship amongst the underprivileged. Exploring ways of dealing with management of public space in a period of austerity in public spending, for example by including local stakeholders, is another focus area. Glasgow is supported by Connecting Nature project, innovating with nature-based solutions to cocreate climate resilient urban communities by connecting cities, academics, & businesses, funded via the European Union through Horizon 2020 programme.
\nGillian Dick, Spatial Planning Manager, Glasgow City Council<\/p>\n

\u2022 Empowering vulnerable families in their energy-efficiency refurbishment<\/strong>
\nEnergy poverty \u2013 or vulnerability \u2013 is a critical factor for a fair energy transition. It remains at high levels in Europe due to increasing energy costs and slow progress on energy efficiency improvements. Ghent has been one of the cities in the forefront of empowering vulnerable families in their energy-efficiency refurbishment. In recent years the city has created a lot of space for initiatives coming from citizens, organizations, and companies for reducing energy consumption and making energy production more sustainable.
\nTine Heyse, president of the board of Climate Alliance of European Cities and Mayor for Environment, Climate, Energy and North-South, City of Ghent, Belgium<\/p>\n
