Better Collective Decisions with APOLLO-Live for Climate and Energy Policy

1. Executive Summary

APOLLO-Live is a digital platform designed to improve collective decision-making in complex fields such as energy and climate policy. Traditional policy workshops often face challenges: discussions can be fragmented, outcomes may lack transparency, and consensus is difficult to measure. APOLLO-Live addresses these issues by providing a structured, real-time environment where multiple stakeholders evaluate policy options across diverse criteria such as cost, equity, and environmental impact. The system aggregates individual preferences using transparent algorithms and visualizes the level of agreement or disagreement within the group. This makes it easier to identify policies that achieve broad support while balancing trade-offs. The platform has already been tested in deliberative labs, where it streamlined discussions and improved participant engagement. For policymakers, APOLLO-Live ensures that decisions are not only informed but also democratically legitimate. For investors and technology providers, the platform demonstrates how digital tools can enhance governance processes in sectors facing urgent transformation. By enabling more efficient and transparent consensus, APOLLO-Live reduces conflict and accelerates adoption of sustainable solutions.
