Bonn4Future is considered a model of citizen participation. What made the project so special?
The participatory process emerged in 2019 as a result of unique circumstances. Bonn was experiencing a strong Fridays for Future movement and it was election season. In this context, Bonn City Council decided by a large majority that the city should achieve climate neutrality by 2035 at the latest. Bonn im Wandel e.V. (Bonn in Transition) took this decision seriously and called for citizen participation.
