Description
Achieving a just transition requires governance innovation—Citizen assemblies are a leading example of such innovation. Experiences from across the world show that citizen assemblies and other deliberative and participatory practices can greatly enhance the ambition and delivery of climate policy.
This session takes a cross-regional perspective and brings together diverse perspectives and experiences of climate citizen assemblies, from the Global Citizen Assembly, to a local citizen assembly in Antalya, placing citizens’ voices at the centre of the conversation on water, food, and climate action.
Speakers
The panel will include representatives of organizations in the climate deliberation field, including International IDEA, ISWE, and Yuva Association, as well as of International IDEA Member States.
