Citizen science for policy

Citizen science can:

• Impact decision-making at various levels
• Enhance monitoring and evaluation
• Empower citizens
• Lead to more transparent governance
• Raise awareness
• Foster behavioural change

The potential benefits citizen science can bring to policy formulation and implementation range from providing evidence for assessments through supporting regulatory compliance to community empowerment and awareness raising.

During this webinar, we aim to discuss the concept of citizen science, explore good practices, and how policymakers can use it to design and implement policies.
