== About Global Assembly ==
A global citizens’ assembly to accelerate action to address the climate and ecological emergency and influence COP26 in ways that citizens see fit.
The global assembly will involve both:
* a '''core group''' of people broken down by gender, race, age, economic background (and other criteria if appropriate) chosen by lottery, to be a true representation of the world population (100 people); and
* '''distributed events''' that will go through the same learning journey as the core group, and will be run by anyone anywhere e.g. communities, schools, organisations (100,000+ people).
<blockquote>''We want everyone to have a voice on addressing the climate emergency.''</blockquote>
=== Purpose ===
to accelerate action to address the climate and ecological emergency in ways that citizens see fit.
'''More information about the Global Assembly and ways to join are available on [https://globalassembly.org/ globalassembly.org]'''
