The Green PB Seal and Green PB Benefits Badge help recognise, identify and support green PB activity in Scotland.
Both the Seal and Benefits Badge show the positive impact participatory budgeting is having on Scotland’s drive to achieve a Just Transition to net-zero by 2045.
Developed by the Green PB Action Group and hosted by PB Scotland, groups whose work supports the climate change agenda and Scotland’s Just Transition to net-zero are welcome to apply and highlight the positive, sustainable impact they’re making for Scotland.
The PB Green Seal recognises dedicated, thematic Green PB where all resources are expended to further the climate change agenda and contribute to Scotland’s Just Transition to net-Zero.
The PB green Benefits Badge recognises PB activity which has contributed positively to the climate change agenda, but isn’t solely focused as a themed Green PB process.
It’s easy to sign up - simply decide whether your activity to best suited to the Seal or Benefit badge, then fill in the information in this simple form.
“We hope that these Badges and Seals will not only identify positive Green PB processes and where they are happening but also, highlight the importance of Green PB in achieving a Just transition whilst encourage people to think about climate change as a consistent theme within their existing PB processes.”
Green participatory budgeting (PB) is a way for people to make direct decisions about how budgets are spent addressing climate change and reducing our carbon footprints. There’s lots more about Green PB here.
