The transition to climate-neutral societies requires transparent and robust policymaking to ensure rapid but fair climate action whereby everyone contributes but the biggest polluters and the wealthiest make the most efforts to reduce carbon pollution. Involving stakeholders across society is of vital importance to improve the quality of decision-making and strengthen compliance. It helps build social consent, empowers citizens to actively contribute to climate action and adds legitimacy to climate plans and policies.

Carbon Market Watch advocates for strong climate governance processes, transparent policy-making, and increased opportunities for stakeholder involvement in the development and implementation of climate plans.
