High-Integrity Principles Workshop
The “Integrity in Voluntary Climate Action” workshop on the 3rd of July 2024 brought together researchers and practitioners of the ACHIEVE project to deliberate and co-create dimensions and indicators to guide the integrity of voluntary climate action. The discussion focused on the social, ecological, ethical, and progress-oriented dimensions of voluntary climate action and their indicators, exploring how they integrate theory and practice for change-making.
Key takeaways for further defining high integrity principles and indicators:
- We emphasized that simplifying and prioritizing dimensions of integrity, especially goal-oriented approaches, and distinguishing between substantive and procedural aspects are important.
- We identified missing aspects related to e.g. governance, adaptability, and diverse worldviews.
- We suggested using both quantitative and qualitative indicators, raising questions about universal agreements and varying perspectives on integrity.
