In August 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, residents in Budapest received a letter on their doorstep. The city council had asked for help. The letter asked the citizens to register for Hungary's first citizen assembly.

In the end, the assembly drafted a set of recommendations which served as the basis of the final climate strategy that the government implemented in February 2021.
