# About CitiObs

This toolkit is one of several being produced in the EU-funded **CitiObs** project ('*Enhancing Citizen Observatories for healthy, sustainable, resilient and inclusive cities'*) that aim to foster inclusive, diverse, and stable citizen participation in the observation, monitoring, and protection of urban environments.&#x20;

Alongside the **Leave-No-One-Behind Toolkit**, you can also find guidance for strengthening stakeholder collaboration and resolving conflicts in the **Citizen Observatory Participation Dynamics Toolkit**, access tools for organizing impactful community-led environmental actions with the **Citizen-Led Action Toolkit**, and find out more about tools and approaches for environmental monitoring in the **Environmental Monitoring Toolkit** , inlcuding practical advice for utilizing environmental sensing devices effectively, ensuring data quality, interoperability, and accessibility. ​

The aim of all of these tools is to:

* Enhance existing and new Citizen Observatories to engage people from a diverse range of communities
* Add value to environmental observations in the urban context
* Increase and validate citizen observations of the urban environment as part of the existing in-situ Earth Observation systems,
* Provide materials and guidance for co-creating inclusive local actions for sustainability
* Provide guidance and  tools to help aggregate standardize and validate data of the Citizen Observatories such that it can be easily accessed, referenced and reliably used for decision-making and policy development towards the objectives of the European Green Deal

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://inclusivity.toolkit.citiobs.eu/readme/about-citiobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
