The German Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUB) developed The Integrated Environmental Plan 2030 (IUP). The challenge was to determine policies that promote an ecologically viable and sustainable future. For this process they involved the public by organizing 6 Wisdom Councils (Bürgerräte) and 6 public evening events called Environmental Forums in which the Wisdom Councils presented their findings, which were further elaborated in a larger group of people. The results are summoned in the report called The Integrated Environmental Plan 2030. This short English video covers the overall process including the Online Council and the Online Environmental Forum.
