How Cities Can Use Participatory Budgeting to Address Climate Change

A four-page, user-friendly guide that provides recommendations on how to use participatory budgeting to address climate change.

We are facing a global climate crisis, and local governments need to do their part to address it. Public participation is a key strategy for effective local climate action. By integrating climate action into participatory processes (and vice versa), cities can build consensus around the need for climate change mitigation and adaptation, and around concrete projects and policies to implement.

This accessible info sheet provides actionable recommendations on how to successfully implement a climate-sensitive PB process. Also, you can check an online course where experts from local governments and organizations around the world share best practices and review lessons learned.

The info sheet is available to download in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, and Chinese.
