Alberta Climate Dialogue (ABCD) is a community-university research project exploring how participation by citizens in problem-solving and decision-making can influence government policies on climate change in this province.
Humans are causing climate change and humans must shape effective responses that align with community values. Current political and community responses to climate change are inadequate given the scale and severity of the challenge.
ABCD advocates for new practices of democratic deliberation, citizen engagement, collaborative planning, and community action.
Watch this six-minute video on climate change from an Albertan perspective, and how ABCD methods can foster real societal change.
