Abstract: XVI. AECA Congress "New business model: companies, markets and cultures" This contribution reviews various approaches to stimulating climate-friendly behaviour and introduces a participatory approach taken by local governments involving direct citizen participation in improving climate protection performance. The paper presents and puts up for discussion intermediary results of similarly structured climate dialogues in several cities in Austria, Germany and Spain. A core element of this form of citizen participation is the use of both traditional and electronic media for interactions in climate dialogues stretching over two years. The research project “e2democracy” investigates citizen panels collaborating with municipal governments on consensually agreed local climate targets. The results from a first survey among more than 400 participants in five cities show that participants have a special profile characterised by significantly higher levels of engagement in climate change, of sensitisation, issue knowledge, and beliefs in efficacy of targeted action. The findings lend support to expectations of enhanced community building and positive effects of online tools. Data from measurements via CO2 calculator and CO2 household books, respectively, suggest that there are also some indications of positive impacts on individual CO2 balances.
