How can Green #ParticipatoryBudgeting help Scotland face the climate emergency?
New @pb_scotland work explores this pressing question 👇
Green #participatorybudgeting is a way for people to decide how local money can be used to make a green impact - and it gets people talking about climate change in their communities. 🌍🗨️🪙🌿
