CAST has produced a briefing paper on climate change citizens’ assemblies.

‘Getting Climate Citizens’ Assemblies Right’ is an interesting blog by Claire Mellier and Rich Wilson, comparing the UK and French Assemblies.

Observatory

The European Climate Foundation is hosting the Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA), an initiative to bring together learnings and expertise from different citizens’ assemblies, share and structure best practice knowledge, and foster further understanding and debate of how deliberative processes are and can be applied to address the climate crisis.
