	In creating sustainable and just cities, everyone has a role to play, as well as the responsibility to speak out and act upon current injustices and unsustainable practices, even if individual actions must ultimately be connected to systemic efforts. As such, responsibility is shared by all actors – to the best of their varying capabilities – in a city and beyond its boundaries. Local authorities recognise the significant contribution that community-led initiatives make to achieving the city’s sustainability and justice goals, without co-opting them. Local authorities also protect all citizens from exposure to pollution and climate risks. They recognize citizens’ claims of harm and assist victims of pollution. In short, in the quest for a sustainable and just city, city-makers are aware of and are committed to their responsibilities, while keeping an eye to broader systems change.

	'''Inspirational example'''		#“To say you believe and not act is hypocritical. Believing in peace requires our personal hands-on responsibility for the peace of our very surroundings.”
			#“Responsibility is a key factor to make possible an effective fight against climate change and its effects in urban settlements.”
			#“We need, all together, to develop a common language and to practice multidisciplinarity. This would be a remarkable responsibility from my point of view.”
			#“I think that talking about responsibility is key for achieving a sustainable and just city, my concern would be connected to the boundaries of the action. A responsible action for your city can lead to unsustainable situations somewhere else (promoting green-washing and rebound effects outside the city) and that should raise some warnings.”


			'''Inspirational example:''' ''Peace Garden, Wuppertal, Germany''

			The [http://www.wuppertals-urbane-gaerten.de/ Peace Garden Wuppertal] (Germany) was initiated in 2020 and is a place where all people in Wuppertal are welcome to grow, eat and share healthy food and enjoy nature.

			Access to an affordable, acceptable and healthy diet throughout one's life are central premises of the initiative. Addressing food poverty and health inequities is part of the collective work that was foundational to the garden. Using peace-building methods leads to collaborative and inclusive solutions and contributes to a shared responsibility and sense of stewardship for urban life, particularly in the garden. The garden is an example of hands-on responsibility as a vehicle for change and enhanced well-being.

			'''Inspirational example:''' ''Participatory budgeting to re-distribute power, Amsterdam''

			Participatory budgeting is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. It has the potential to “give people real power over real money” and provide opportunities for experimentation in cities around the world.

			In Amsterdam (The Netherlands), for instance, [http://www.transitsocialinnovation.eu/resource-hub/oidp-network-international-observatory-of-participatory-democracy Participatory Budgeting is implemented in the Indische Buurt neighbourhood]. The City and a citizens’ initiative collaborated to make the municipal budget more transparent, the municipality more accountable and the public budget better aligned with the needs and ideas of residents. Participatory budgeting has the potential to challenge existing power between residents and local governments by empowering residents to (1) hold the municipality accountable for expenditures, while also (2) influencing how their neighbourhood is developed. In this way, participatory budgeting has the potential to shift decision-making power for municipal budget allocation, engaging hitherto neglected residents in this process. There is also mutual learning as residents understand more about the budget and budgeting process, and municipalities learn more about residents' concerns and issues.

	Injustice ultimately manifests in terms of power relations, meaning that the issue of power is inherent to the concept of injustice. Limited citizen participation in urban planning and Weakened civil society, for instance, are related to unequal power relations between citizens and civil society actors on the one hand, and policy-makers and commercial parties on the other hand.
