Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to 5 for the climate - our
upcoming event on civil society engagement in climate
policy.
From 14 to 18 June, we organise 5 days packed with workshops, panel debates, hands-on and deep thinking
sessions to discuss ways of civil society involvement in climate policy.
We want to connect civil society organizations,
think tanks and project implementers around the world. In various working
and networking formats, we will share our experiences with
fighting climate change from a civil society perspective and we will
develop strategies to secure civil society’s participation
for more ambitious climate policies.
We have created a range of different formats in order to offer
different kinds of input and exchange. For each format, you can find a
number of different sessions on various topics in our
program.
Session Formats |
Workshop
90 minutes interactive
session |
Let’s jointly work on pressing questions of civil society
engagement in an interactive session. |
Deep Thinking
60 minutes session (input +
Q&A) |
Deep Thinking sessions give you the chance to listen to
relevant findings of researchers and practitioners that dig
deep in the field of civil society engagement in climate policy and
beyond. |
Hands on
60 minutes session (presentation +
discussion)
|
We take you to places of real civil society
engagement. Listen to first-hand success stories; learn about fights
for climate justice and action on the ground, particularly in the field of climate and
energy. |
Panel Debate
90 minutes session (panel debate +
discussion) |
How did Covid-19 affect the quality of participatory
formats and how did the pandemic crisis influence access to
political processes? How is civil society involvement organised in
Europe? A diverse set of exciting speakers discusses those big questions
in two panel sessions on Wednesday and
Thursday. |

|
Daily Working Group
45 minutes interactive
session |
Once a day, 5 times a week, we invite you researchers and
practitioners to a continuous working group to jointly elaborate
basic requirements for meaningful participation. What are criteria
of participatory processes that are perceived as transparent,
inclusive, at eye level, enabling and continuous? In a daily 45-minutes session, we
are going to look into those 5
elements. |
