Consultation Change the Climate
Change the Climate is a digital citizen consultation developed by the Democracy and Development Foundation in 2019. Its purpose is to promote citizen participation in the formulation of an agenda of actions to address climate change. Citizens can, through an online form, submit ideas on seven topics: energy, city, transport, waste, agriculture and livestock, production and consumption, and water. Citizens added a new topic: awareness, understood as knowledge and capacity of commitment of the public opinion with regards to climate change. The agenda resulting from the citizens' contributions was afterwards published online and is freely accessible.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
