As cross-border environmental challenges have grown in scale, the nations of the world have turned to international organisations in search of a common platform in which to address these problems. One such platform has been the United Nations(UN), institutionalized in the Conventions on Global Warming and on Biodiversity, more specifically the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)& the Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD).One of the challenges presented by these international platforms has been, and is, how to involve the citizens of the world in decisions and policies resulting from the Conference of Parties (COP) meetings held regularly and involving political leaders and heads of state of the participating UN member states. As environmental hazards and changes affect us all without regards to our nationality, citizen participation in global policy making is crucial both to every one of us as citizens, and to the nations of the world gathering at COP’s in order to find and commit to sustainable and reasonable solutions.With its extensive experience in involving citizens in citizen deliberation on a broad range of issues, the Danish Board of Technology Foundation (DBT) has started the World Wide Views projects, organising partner organisations from all over the world in a World Wide Views Alliance with the main purpose of involving citizens in global environmental policy making through deliberation and voting. The aim is to provide ordinary citizens of the world with a direct link to political decision makers, while providing the decision makers with an informed insight into the needs and views of the citizens they are representing, as well as creating public awareness of environmental hazards and challenges."@en }
