Online Forum on Modern Direct Democracy-Citizens' Initiative on Climate in Austria

This June, an Austrian climate citizens' initiative collected 380.590 signatures, meaning that their demands on climate action will have to be discussed in parliament this autumn.

Katharina Rogenhofer was the coordinator of the climate citizens' initiative. She will give an overview of the citizen's initiative as a democratic tool in Austria, how the campaign and movement was organized and on its impact on real politics.
