The Role of Green Participatory Budgeting in a Just Transition to Net Zero University of Dundee

Overview

This The Role of Green Participatory Budgeting in a Just Transition to Net Zero project at University of Dundee is centred around the concept of Green Participatory Budgeting. GPB has been identified as a potential tool to achieve a just transition. In Scotland, this can be observed through recommendations from the Just Transmission Commission (JTC) who advocated its adoption by local authorities (JTC, 2021). Recently, GPB has gained momentum, with local authorities turning towards this as a way of addressing climate change at a local level. Notable examples include Dundee climate fund, the Edinburgh community climate fund and the Just Transition Participatory Budgeting Fund, across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
