Climate adaptation and democracy support: Learning from one another (Report) by  Sam Greene – October 2023

https://www.wfd.org/what-we-do/resources/climate-adaptation-and-democracy-support

For the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) is the UK public body dedicated to supporting democracy around the world. Operating internationally, WFD works with parliaments, political parties, and civil society groups as well as on elections to help make political systems fairer,
more inclusive and accountable.

Drawing on emerging evidence and case studies, this report discusses the conceptual and practical overlaps between successful climate adaptation and the three pillars of environmental democracy: access to information about the environment, public participation in decision making, and the right to justice or legal redress for environmental damages. It is published alongside a framework to guide practitioners to assess climate adaptation programmes through a lens of environmental democracy.
