Welcome to the CitiObs Community-led Action Toolkit! This resource is for citizen communities within Citizen Observatories who are motivated to take action in environmental protection. It's packed with easy-to-use tools to help your group come up with ideas, plan, and carry out your own projects – big or small – that can actually make a difference and lead to positive change.

Throughout this toolkit, you’ll see the terms “Citizen-led” and “Community-led” used interchangeably. This is intentional. We recognise that meaningful action can start in many ways, sometimes from a motivated individual, and other times from a collective effort. “Citizen-led” highlights personal initiative and responsibility, while “Community-led” emphasises collaboration and shared ownership. Both are valid pathways to impact, and this toolkit is designed to support both ends of that spectrum. From solo changemakers to organised community groups.
