The people's transition - Phibsborough : implementation of community-led development for climate justice

Abstract

Introduction. The People’s Transition describes a model for participative decision making that is intended to enable a community to benefit from the transition to a zero-carbon society. It aims to design climate solutions that give local people and communities ownership of assets of transition and thus enhance public support for climate action by tackling inequality and raising standards of living.
