Welcome in the CLIMAS Toolbox access webpage

CLIMAS project offers an innovative climate adaptation Toolbox, the Climate change Citizens Engagement Toolbox, co-designed with stakeholders adopting a value-based approach, design thinking methods and inclusivity at heart. The ambition of the CLIMAS project is to support a transformation to climate resilience by offering an innovative problem-oriented climate adaptation toolbox, co-designed together with stakeholders by applying a value-based approach, design thinking methods and citizen science mechanisms. The CLIMAS Toolbox for Climate Assemblies design process has been developed following a structured design-thinking methodology.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

CLIMAS Toolbox

Multilingual Climate Assembly Portal

A Platform where users can explore existing participatory platforms and collect information to better navigate the Climate Assembly context and purposes.

CLIMAS Methodological Guidelines for future scenario building

The CLIMAS Guidelines for Future Scenario Building provide insights on how to involve citizens in generating views of the future, gradually converging towards concrete descriptions of how to realise them, who shall be involved, what actions shall be taken to maximise the benefits.

Guidelines for Climate Assembly Setting-up & Facilitation

These guidelines focus on setting up and facilitating Climate Assemblies, addressing the organisational aspects pre-during, and after the deliberation process. It includes tips to engage local institutions, budgeting, selection of venues, training for facilitators, and much more.

KEBS Agenda Setting Tool

CLIMAS Citizen Science Toolkit  for Climate Assemblies

This tool supports Climate Assemblies to quickly weight pros and cos of a selection of possible future scenarios, where different opinions need to be considered.

Climate Assembly Monitoring, Evaluation, and Follow-up Tool

This tool helps Assemblies to establish systematic monitoring of activities and outcomes. Moreover, it can support adaptation plans to be up-to-date and relevant to the Assembly’s needs and priorities.

Recommendations

The CLIMAS Recommendations collect the experience, best practices, suggestions and insights acquired while creating tools, organising and supporting CAs in Catalonia, Riga and Edermünde. When citizens are involved, adaptation measures become more grounded in local realities, and politically actionable.

SUPPORTING TOOLS

Tools from other projects

Across Europe, many research projects are developing innovative tools to help citizens, experts, and policymakers work together on climate solutions. By learning from and connecting with these initiatives, CLIMAS contributes to a growing Community of Practice. Check out this DPSIR-PESTLE tool.
