Description
Climate resilience projects fail not because of bad intentions, but because communities are excluded from decisions. This 75-minute hands-on workshop, co-hosted by Center for the Future and C3 Labs (a UN-backed, GEF-funded initiative), unpacks the practical dos and don’ts of inclusive governance for climate action. Through real case studies—France’s Citizens’ Convention on Climate, Ireland’s Citizens’ Assembly, and Bangkok’s Circular Design Lab—participants explore proven methods, identify governance traps that erode trust and stall projects, and leave with a 5-step implementation blueprint they can apply immediately. Designed for investors, nonprofits, government, and practitioners ready to move from consultation to real community power.
