I do not think private individuals should be able to influence plans too much, scientists should on the other hand be the most influential ones. Private individuals should be listened to when implementation begins and strategies are made for implementation, but the main effect their feedback should have is to make the progress more easily adapted to their part of society and take into account accessibility, equality and socioeconomic - concerns. What should be avoided is following lobbying made by companies benefitting from businesses causing climate change.

It is important for the public to have the chance to share views. Some people may be more affected by changes than others (Sami, women, lower socio-economic groups). However, private individuals should and lobbying not be allowed to influence the legislation, especially if they deny science.

It is important for the public to have the chance to share views. Some people may be more affected by changes than others (Sami, women, lower socio-economic groups). Therefore, private individuals should be allowed to influence the legislation, but only if there are positive, equitable benefits that can be clearly seen from their contribution. Individuals linked to fossil fuel groups and the extractive industries should have a limited role especially if they have denied or manipulated scientific evidence. Policies should be made available, and there should be a good methodological platforms and forums for these ideas to be heard and developed.

Points of view about climate change from the general population should be considered before the elaboration and implementation of the climate policy plans. Clear goals have to be remarked to make sure that the opinions of private individuals is efficiently obtained.

I think it is good for the public to have access to this. It creates a sense of involvement and ownership which is useful for successfully implementing policies. The only problem may be that these would need to be presented to the public in everyday parlance and limited technical concepts to ensure understanding and relevant feedback.

Public hearings, stakeholder workshops etc. are very important to obtain the voice of the general public. Climate change is affecting everyone, and therefore, everyone should have the right to share his/her thoughts about what should be undertaken. Sometimes key information can be gathered from individuals that policy makers would have otherwise overseen / left out.

The individuals who stand to lose the most from climate change (i.e., indigenous peoples such as the Sami, young people and other who's livelihoods are at risk from climate change) should be given the most influence over climate policy plans. The knowledge and advice of scientists should be taken with utmost gravity and implemented into climate policy plans. Often the ones with the strongest voices are the companies who often profit from environmentally detrimental activities so every precaution should be made that they do not silence the voices of the stakeholders who are most vulnerable and likely to suffer the brunt of climate change.

I believe it is important that the process is transparent, and that corporations/private companies do not influence the process. I think that those whose lives are most affected by climate change and by the effects of the plans should be especially listened to.
