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，因为预计它在不久的将来会产生有害的社会、环境和经济影响。最近发生的气候变化事件，如欧洲大陆和大西洋地区德国和比利时的洪水、地中海和北方地区的热浪和缺水，表明决策者、专家和利益攸关方的行动是不够的，迫切需要360度公民参与。因此，我们需要借鉴公民参与气候变化行动的良好经验，建立公民支持气候适应措施的基础设施，帮助欧洲150个地区和地方社区抵御气候变化。气候大会和生活实验室被认为是促进气候决策中的协商民主的可持续和合理的工具。当前项目的目标是通过提供一个创新的、以问题为导向的气候适应框架，支持向气候适应能力的转变，该框架是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的。预计，使用复原力评估将预测适应复原力方面可能出现的紧张关系、争议点和困境，从而使赋权和参与战略能够产生一个“设计上具有复原力”的社会。此外，CLIMAS将包括实证部分，用于测试这一方法，并为决策者制定基于科学的指导方针，指导他们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从自下而上解决困境的多利益攸关方审议，更多的社会和价值观。CLIMAS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，以提高决策者对公民主导的决定的接受程度。

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.
