CLIMATE ASSEMBLY MALDIVES
Promoting Environmental Citizenship in the Maldives through Establishing “Citizens Climate Assemblies” and the Development of a “National Citizen’s Manifesto on Environment and Climate Action”
A project by ECOCARE Maldives in partnership with the National Democratic Institute
THE PROJECT
The project aims to establish Citizens Climate Assemblies across the Maldives, bringing together people from different backgrounds and islands to learn, discuss and make recommendations based on conclusion about what they think should happen on addressing the implications of Climate Change.
The discussions and conclusions are then to be gathered and compiled with the participation of civil society as a National Citizen's Manifesto on Environment and Climate Action.
CLIMATE ASSEMBLIES
The Citizen's Climate Assemblies to be held as part of this project would be organized as a 3-day convention with expert panel, plenary sessions and breakout groups styled event where participants will be able to come together to learn, share their knowledge and experiences, understand key issues faced due to climate change in their communities, voice their concerns, propose solutions, and make recommendations to authorities. Each day of the event will be thematized to ensure meaningful participation and informed decision making is practiced.
