CLIMAte change citizens engagement toolbox for dealing with Societal resilience (CLIMAS)

气候变化是当今需要解决的最关键问题之一，因为预计它将在不久的将来产生有害的社会、环境和经济影响。最近的气候变化事件，如德国和比利时大陆和大西洋地区的洪水，地中海和北方地区的热浪和缺水，表明政策制定者、专家和利益攸关方的行动是不够的，迫切需要公民的参与。因此，我们需要借鉴公民参与气候变化行动的良好经验，建立公民适应气候变化措施的配套基础设施，帮助150个欧洲地区和当地社区抵制气候变化。气候大会和活生生的实验室被认为是可持续和合理的工具，可以促进气候政策制定中的协商民主。当前项目的雄心是通过提供一个创新的面向问题的气候采用工具箱，通过应用基于价值观的方法、设计思维方法和公民科学机制与利益攸关方共同设计，支持向气候适应能力的转变。预计工具箱的使用将预见到适应复原力方面可能出现的紧张局势、争议点和两难境地，从而使赋权和参与战略能够产生一个“有复原力的”社会。此外，气候变化综合管理系统将包括用于测试这一工具箱的经验部分，并为政策制定者制定以科学为基础的指导方针，说明如何将气候大会从属于气候变化专家的基于技术的审议转变为基于自下而上、更具社会性和基于价值的观点解决困境的多方利益攸关方的审议。气候变化系统的成果将对政策制定和提高认识进程产生积极影响，并提供可持续的战略，以加强决策者对公民主导的决定的接受。

Climate change is one of the most critical issues to tackle today as it is foreseen to have detrimental social, environmental and economic impacts in the near future. The last climate change events, such as flooding in Germany and Belgium in both Continental and Atlantic regions, heat waves and lack of water in both Mediterranean and Boreal regions, show that the policymakers, experts and stakeholders' actions are not enough, and a 360º citizens engagement is urgently needed. Therefore, we need to learn from the good experience in citizens' engagement in climate change action and build up citizens` supporting infrastructure for climate adaptation measures to help the 150 European regions and local communities to resist. Climate assemblies and Living labs are considered as sustainable and reasonable tools to stimulate deliberative democracy in climate policymaking. The ambition of the current project is to support a transformation to climate resilience by offering an innovative problem-oriented climate adoption Toolbox, co-designed together with stakeholders by applying a values-based approach, design thinking methods and citizen science mechanisms. It is expected that the use of the Toolbox will anticipate possible tensions, points of controversy and dilemmas vis-a-vis the adaptation to resilience - therefore enabling empowerment and engagement strategies that produce a society "resilient by design". In addition, CLIMAS will include the empirical component for testing this Toolbox and formulating scientific-based guidelines for policymakers on how to shift Climate Assemblies from technically based deliberations that belong to climate change experts to multi-stakeholders deliberations based on solving the dilemmas from a bottom-up, more societal and value-based perspective. CLIMAS outcomes will positively influence policy development and awareness raising process and offer sustainable strategies to enhance the acceptance of citizens' led decisions by policymakers.
