Preparation of citizen science activities in climate assemblies
According to the co-creation process of the Citizen Science Toolkit and the CLIMAS methodology, the value of integrating citizen science practices into the climate assembly context is significant. Fortunately, citizen science is present in various spaces, including governments, schools, and civic organizations. Citizen scientists can be empowered people who can acquire and share deep knowledge and expertise around a certain topic, from framing concerns to monitoring recommendations. In the assembly context, they can contribute to breaking with top-down structures and dynamising the whole process. The potential for citizen science to be used or included in climate assemblies is high, provided that the organizers are open to utilizing knowledge built by citizens.
