Citizen science can be a perfect instrument for generating policy recommendations for climate action. We propose a workshop to explore how citizen science is used in citizen climate assemblies, specifically in framing environmental problems related to climate change, providing knowledge to assemblypersons, and serving as a tool for monitoring the impact of policy recommendations. In this session, we will focus on how to deploy citizen science activities within a climate assembly and test the tools created for this purpose.

Climate assemblies role-playing [17:45 - 18:45]
You are a community of people who are part of a climate assembly, so you have been selected to participate in the climate assembly and deliberate about measures to tackle an important contamination issue, Marine Litter. Particularly, during the climate assembly the organization decided to perform a Citizen Science activity and give some information about how a particular project, Marine LitterWatch, can be used in the context of the climate assembly.
You all should organize yourself to carry out an activity with this project. Take a look to the card and decide what activity you would like to perform in the context of the climate assembly. In the card you will find some ideas on how to perform these activities.
