Climate Citizens is a project run out of Lancaster University aiming to change how people engage with the creation of climate policy. We want to transform climate policy from something that happens to people, to something that happens with people.
In September 2020, Climate Assembly UK, the Citizens’ Assembly commissioned by Parliament, launched its findings. Recent months have also seen an upsurge of Assemblies and Juries at local level. These innovative deliberative events are re-defining how the public engage in climate decision-making. The next step is to move beyond one-off events and embed meaningful two-way communication between the Government and citizens into the policymaking process.
Climate Citizens aims to take that next step.
We are seeking an experienced policy impact consultant to lead on a programme of impact and engagement work based on our research findings.
We have a budget of approximately £20,000 - £25,000 for this work, to cover a time allocation (expressed as a day rate) plus travel and accommodation expenses.
Please send quotes to j.ainscough@lancaster.ac.uk before midday on the 22/07/2024.

In addition to scrutinising the main parties manifestos, participants in the workshop also discussed a 'Peoples Manifesto'. This was written based on the findings of 30 climate assemblies and juries which were synthesised by Climate Citizens researcher Alfie Shepherd.
