A Report on Deliberative and Participatory Climate Governance documents the Sudhagad Block-Level Conference of Panchayats, held on 29 April 2026 in Pali, Raigad. Bringing together Panchayat representatives, Sarpanchs, community members, government officials, academics, and civil society organisations, the initiative sought to create a block-level space where communities could identify shared climate and development challenges, bring local and indigenous knowledge into planning, and collectively shape actionable responses. The process engaged 15 Gram Panchayats across Sudhagad and positioned the block, or “meso tier”, as an important bridge between village-level priorities and district- and state-level governance.
