<div> '''Disclaimer:''' The information below provides introductory information & practices on climate grief. The activities and resources below have been crowdsourced from the global community of the Global Assembly. This content is not an exhaustive list and should not be viewed as a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis or treatment. <br />
<br />
<br />
Information about ecological losses and experiencing shifts in your worldview within the Global Assembly might result in some physical and psychological responses. Additionally, each of us come from different personal, social and political contexts, and may be dealing with challenges outside of the Global Assembly during our involvement. Recognizing and dealing with this is important for all of us involved and the visions we are working towards.<br />
<br />
== Terminology Used ==<br />
<br />
=== Eco(logical) grief ===<br />
is grief experienced due to endured or anticipated ecological losses, the disruption of environmental knowledge, and the loss of place-based identity due to environmental changes.<br />
<br />
=== Climate anxiety ===<br />
emerges due to climate change and resulting impacts to peoples and places, anxiety about their future and the future of their potential children. Climate anxiety often conjures a future problem. Climate anxiety, then, is about a fear of some suffering that will manifest in some unknown future; the element of uncertainty is what makes it “anxiety”. <br />
<br />
=== Climate distress and climate trauma: ===<br />
Because “anxiety” is understood as having no explicit object of distress, it may not be the best word for people who are currently experiencing the impacts of climate change. “Climate distress” and “Climate trauma” capture the immediacy of frontline experiences and distinguish them from “climate anxiety”, which is then reserved for those whose present lives are fairly removed from the direct impacts of climate change.<br />
<br />
=== Broadening our view of climate related anxiety & trauma: ===<br />
Climate change touches people’s lives in so many ways: from biodiversity, access to resources, and subsistence to policing, health justice, or migration.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just because some people aren’t suffering from climate anxiety as it is currently defined doesn’t mean they aren’t deeply attuned to what is happening to the world. It is possible to feel climate anxiety even if climate change isn’t the first or worst existential threat of our lives. It is possible that people can feel immense care for the planet and its inhabitants, and not feel anxiety at all; anxiety isn’t a prerequisite for care or action. It is possible to have big feelings about other threats without ever using the words “climate change”. <br />
<br />
<br />
Tending to these cultural politics of climate anxiety is not about shaming privileged people for their legitimate distress about planetary health and their (perhaps new) awareness of their own vulnerability. Likewise, we shouldn’t shame people who don’t feel climate anxiety, for example, or assume that just because they’re not using the words “climate” or “anxiety” that they aren’t deeply worried about the viability of life on this planet.<br />
<br />
<br />
The variety of experiences here is important to recognize in order to bring the full powers of emotional intelligence to climate work. But most importantly, the emotional landscape of climate change should be approached with a robust awareness of the cultural politics of emotion: how they shape power relations and change culture, and how culture and power mediate emotions.<br />
<br />
== Crowdsourced Practices ==<br />
<br />
=== Talking with others ===<br />
Creating spaces for people to talk about whatever they perceive, think and feel about the climate and ecological crisis can be helpful. Based on Joanna Macy’s work, different stages can be created to help you understand your feelings and talking about them. <br />
<br />
'''Part 1:''' You talk about what you are grateful for (in your live, in the world, for other beings), allowing you to be present. <br />
<br />
'''Part 2:''' You dive in to the part where you try to understand your pain for the world/ the climate crisis. Giving a space to talk about negative feelings (sadness, anger, despair). <br />
<br />
'''Part 3:''' Ending with ‘seeing with new eyes’, or kind of turning around the negative feelings into what you would like to care and love for. This final part allows the group to not end with negative feelings but to give a feeling of empowerment and knowing why you are acting and feeling accordingly. <br />
<br />
=== Eco-Grief Circles ===<br />
Members of the Global Assembly that are experiencing feelings of grief and sorrow are encouraged to organize eco-grief circles, either with other Members or Hosts, from the Global Assembly, or together with friends and or family. Having people to share and echo together emotions and feelings helps us to build emotional solidarity.<br />
<br />
==== '''Potential agenda for an Eco-grief circle:''' ====<br />
'''Opening:''' Acknowledgement of all that are gathered and the environment in which you are at the moment.<br />
<br />
'''Group Exercise:''' With the group you can agree upon an exercise to root into the moment and to give shape to the feelings that you are experiencing. Examples: breathwork/meditation, writing prompt, movement/dancing, painting, some yoga poses, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Individual Sharing:''' One person shares whatever comes to mind. This role can be passed around and space and time to connect threads or respond to one another can be reserved till the end.<br />
<br />
'''Closing:''' After thanking for everyone's participation and leaving space for spontaneous contributions <br />
<br />
=== Self-reflective practice ===<br />
Some might prefer to take time for self reflective practices rather than taking part in group activities. Using journaling techniques provide the chance to connect with oneself, and find clarity on some of the emotions and feelings that you are experiencing. The following questions could be used as writing prompts:<br />
<br />
* How do I feel about the impact of climate change? <br />
* How do I feel about my future, or my family’s future living in uncertain times? <br />
* What sensations do I experience in my body when I think about Climate/Ecological crisis?<br />
* What am I grateful for right now?<br />
* What has worked in the past to overcome problems I have experienced?<br />
* Who can I turn to for support (you can look beyond your relations and friends and seek support in grassroot organisations in your community)<br />
* How do I enjoy my time in nature?<br />
* What is my purpose in the context of Climate/Ecological crisis?<br />
* What keeps me grounded and what is regenerative for me?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Regenerative practice ===<br />
Sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed, we can overlook our basic needs such as eating well and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule. Thinking too much about the future of the planet can start an anxious downward spiral that may become difficult to pull yourself out of. Practicing different techniques allows you to ground yourself in the present and pay attention to where you are now. <br />
<br />
* '''Practice mindfulness:''' Scheduling 15-30 minutes every day to practice mindfulness can have great long-term benefits to your mental health. But whatever amount of time you are able to take will have positive outcomes regardless. <br />
* '''Do breathwork:''' Concentrating on breathing helps us reconnecting with ourselves, with our bodily sensations and our feelings. <br />
* '''Practice grounding:''' Unlike mindfulness, which requires both dedicated space and time, grounding consists of mental exercises that can be used discreetly at nearly any time or place. For example: Name 5 things you can see, 4 that you can touch, 3 that you can hear, 2 that you can smell, and 1 that you can taste.<br />
* '''Get into nature:''' immersing oneself in natural spaces is acknowledged to reduce feelings and sensations of anxiety. <br />
* Practice restorative yoga: bringing together mindful breathing and body movements towards balance.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Taking action ===<br />
Taking action can inspire a sense of hope and could help to feel less helpless. For different people, ‘taking action’ will look<br />
<br />
very different - for some, it could mean joining a community garden; for others, political activism, changing eating habits or pushing for stronger green policies at work. Tackling climate change means different ways of living and engaging with the world around us, and talking about climate change with our peers.<br />
<br />
Reducing emissions means globally coordinated systemic solutions, but also profound changes to people’s day-to-day lives – particularly in rich, high-emission countries. While behaviours are starting to shift, low-carbon lifestyles are very far from being the norm.<br />
<br />
Whatever you do, feel comfortable with the task you imagine, not every task suits your personality and set of skills, but there is plenty to do. Stay realistic, but commitment can go far. To inspire action you can ask yourself:<br />
<br />
* What 3-5 small changes can I make today?<br />
* What 3 commitments can I make to help in the next month?<br />

<p>Jehad: /* What are the next steps I should take after registration to run a Community Assembly? */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''<big>Community Assemblies</big>'''<br />
<br />
Frequently asked questions<br />
<br />
== Who can run a Community Assembly ==<br />
Anyone, anywhere in the world can run a Community Assembly. This simply involved bringing people together to discuss the climate and ecological crisis. Your community might be a school, workplace, society, neighbourhood - or any other group.<br />
<br />
The [[Community Assembly Toolkit]] will guide you every step of the way, including tips on how to facilitate your assembly and guided activities through which to explore the climate and ecological crisis.<br />
<br />
== Can I join a Community Assembly or do I have to run one in order to participate? ==<br />
Once a Community Assembly has been established, it is up to the organisers to invite participants. We encourage everyone who is interested in participating to have a go at running a Community Assembly. There may be online events organised which you can join, such as [https://www.tickettailor.com/events/iamweare/598533?fbclid=IwAR0sYGgEfO_6zTbbGS0_PX8iXdltE_gVQ5YCBHDBEdhZF3Um1WqC4duGoZA&s=08 these open Assemblies].<br />
<br />
== When do Community Assemblies need to take place? ==<br />
Community Assembly should ideally take place between '''October 21''' and '''mid December'''. All results need to be submitted by '''01 January 2022''' for inclusion in our final Global Assembly report, which will be released in '''March 2022'''. <br />
<br />
== I am interested in hosting a Community Assembly. Do we have to stick to the framing question “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?” ==<br />
To ensure that every Community Assembly can submit proposals in a consistent format, and be included in our final report in March 2022, we encourage organisers to follow the guidance in our toolkit, which is led by the framing question above.<br />
<br />
== What is the deadline for submitting our report in order to be included in the final report to be published in March 2022. ==<br />
All output from Community Assemblies must be submitted by 01 January 2022. These will be submitted online (instructions will be published on our website and be shared by email with Assembly organisers) and will form part of the information that feeds into the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
== Where can I Find the Community Assembly Toolkit? ==<br />
You can download the Community Assembly Toolkit [[Community Assembly Toolkit|here]]. <br />
<br />
== Where can I find resources to prepare the Community Assembly? ==<br />
In addition to the [[Community Assembly Toolkit|Toolkit]], there are many resources available to help you. The [[Information Booklet]] is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. This information booklet has been translation into several languages, available on the [[Welcome|Global Assembly wiki]]. Further resources are available on the Global Assembly [https://globalassembly.org/ga-resources Resources page].<br />
<br />
== Can I translate the Toolkit? ==<br />
If it has not already been translated into the most convenient language for your community we invite you to translate the Toolkit, and any other resources for your participants. If you do, please [Mailto:communityassembly@globalassembly.org let us know] so we can publish these on our wiki so that other speakers of your language can use them (whether this year or in a future year). <br />
<br />
== What are the next steps I should take after registration to run a Community Assembly? ==<br />
After registering your Community Assembly you will automatically receive a “welcome email” with next steps, including instructions to download the Community Assembly Toolkit and links to further resources. From time to time our team will contact organisers with useful guidance, and our team is always available for support at [Mailto:communityassembly@globalassembly.org communityassembly@globalassembly.org]</div>

<div>Глобальная Ассамблея - это собрание людей со всего мира, организуемое для обсуждения '''климатического и экологического кризисов.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Что такое гражданское собрание?'''<br />
<br />
Гражданское собрание - это группа людей из разных слоев общества, которые собираются с целью изучить определенную тему, обсудить возможные действия, выдвинуть возможные идеи, предоставить предложения, способствующие более масштабным изменениям, представителям правительств и мировым лидерам. Члены гражданского собрания представляют собой небольшую выборку конкретного места, рассматриваемого в ходе проведения собрания (скажем, страны, города или в данном случае мира) на основе демографических критериев, таких как пол, возраст, уровень дохода и образования.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Что такое Глобальная Ассамблея?'''<br />
<br />
В состав Глобальной ассамблеи 2021 года входят: Основная Гражданская Ассамблея, в которой принимают участие 100 человек; Местные Общественные Собрания, которые может проводить каждый желающий где угодно; и Культурные Мероприятия, осуществляющиеся для привлечения наибольшего количества людей.<br />
<br />
<br />
Позже в этом году состоятся две крупные конференции мировых лидеров Организации Объединенных Наций: Конференция Сторон по изменению климата (КС 26) РКИКООН и Конференция по биоразнообразию (КБР 15). В преддверии проведения переговоров КС 26 Основная ассамблея собирает группу из 100 человек, являющихся репрезентативной выборкой населения планеты, чтобы узнать о климате и экологическом кризисе, обсудить и поделиться своими основными взглядами, которые будут представлены на КС 26 в Глазго в ноябре 2021 года. В этом году Глобальной Ассамблее предстоит обсудить следующий вопрос: «Как человечество может справедливо и эффективно справиться с климатическим и экологическим кризисом?»<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Введение в учебные материалы'''<br />
<br />
Этот информационный буклет является частью ряда материалов, которыми сопровождается этап обучения и обсуждения в рамках проведения Глобальной Ассамблеи. Цель этих учебных материалов - предоставить информацию и данные, для того чтобы вы могли составить собственное мнение о климате и экологическом кризисе.<br />
<br />
<br />
Мы надеемся, что этот документ станет отправной точкой для исследований, которыми вы, возможно, будете увлечены в ближайшие годы; также мы призываем вас выносить на обсуждение Глобальной Ассамблеи любые положения и вопросы, содержащиеся в данном документе, а также ваши выводы, сделанные на его основе.<br />
<br />
<br />
Климатический и экологический кризисы - сложные темы, являющиеся результатом множества связанных между собой исторических, социальных, экономических и политических факторов. Иногда всё это и может показаться проблемой, которая возникла совсем недавно, однако ее истоки уходят далеко в прошлое, как минимум на 2 века назад.<br />
<br />
<br />
Этот буклет представляет собой введение в некоторые из наиболее важных тем, связанных с климатом и экологическим кризисом. Для создания этих материалов был созван экспертный комитет, который поделился своими знаниями и опытом. Подробная информация о процессе составления этого информационного буклета доступна на веб-сайте Глобальной Ассамблеи.<br />
<br />
<br />
Существует множество различных представлений о климатическом и экологическом кризисе, и мы сделали всё, чтобы сделать краткий и понятный обзор ключевых тем, фактов и данных.<br />
<br />
<br />
Необязательно читать все сразу. Буклет задуман как справочное руководство, и мы надеемся, что он будет вам полезен при взаимодействии с Глобальной Ассамблеей, как поддержка в изучении и обсуждении климатического и экологического кризисов<br />
<br />
<br />
В дополнение к этому материалу на веб-сайте Global Assembly будут доступны дополнительные ресурсы: видео, презентации, художественные произведения и отзывы о личном опыте. Контекстуализация этого информационного буклета и его перевод на несколько языков будут доступны на вики-странице Global Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Более подробные значения слов, выделенных жирным шрифтом, можно найти в разделе «Глоссарий» в конце буклета. Здесь температура указывается в градусах Цельсия (° C). Пожалуйста, обратитесь к глоссарию для перевода в градусы Фаренгейта (° F).<br />

'''Краткий обзор'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Каким будет мир в 2050 году?<br />
<br />
Каждый ребенок, рожденный сегодня, столкнется с последствиями антропогенного изменения климата и ухудшением природного разнообразия. Это уже не вопрос «если», а вопрос «насколько сильно». В какой степени будут затронуты люди, живущие сегодня, а также будущие поколения, зависит от того, что мы сделаем сейчас. Несмотря на то, что степень потепления и утраты биоразнообразия станут известны лишь в будущем, еще есть время ограничить дальнейшее изменение климата и утрату биоразнообразия, а также избежать наихудших последствий климатического и экологического кризисов.<br />
<br />
<br />
Причины климатического и экологического кризисов уходят далеко в прошлое и могут быть напрямую связаны с представлением о мире, сформировавшим действия сообществ сегодня. Люди являются частью природы и их выживание напрямую зависит от неё.<br />
<br />
<br />
Изменение климата, потеря биоразнообразия, деградация земель, загрязнение воздуха и воды тесно взаимосвязаны. Качество жизни людей, живущих на всей планете, и перспективы современного и будущих поколений зависят от действий, предпринятых сегодня для решения этих проблем. Переход на возобновляемые источники энергии, сохранение и восстановление экосистем, а также поиск новых, более совершенных способов взаимодействия с природой станет чрезвычайно актуальным в ближайшие годы. Недавний опрос показал, что большинство людей во всех регионах мира поддерживают действия по борьбе с изменением климата, даже несмотря на то, что пандемия COVID-19 продолжает влиять на повседневную жизнь.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Ключевые положения:'''<br />
<br />
'''● Деятельность человека, например, сжигание ископаемого топлива, приводит к повышению температуры на планете. Последствия повышения температуры на планете оказывают необратимое влияние на климат и погодные условия, однако в будущем можно избежать самых негативных последствий – всё зависит от действий, предпринимаемых сегодня.'''<br />
<br />
'''● Около миллиона видов растений и животных находятся под угрозой исчезновения в результате их эксплуатации, загрязнения окружающей среды, изменения климата и разрушения естественной среды обитания.''' <br />
<br />
'''● Изменение климата и утрата биоразнообразия угрожают продовольственной и водной безопасности, а также здоровью человека.''' <br />
<br />
Изменение климата в первую очередь вызвано избытком парниковых газов в нашей атмосфере. Двуокись углерода (CO2) - самый главный, в контексте изменения климата, парниковый газ, производимый человеком. Он образуется при уничтожении лесов, а также при сжигании ископаемого топлива для получения энергии. За последние два столетия это привело к потеплению планеты на 1,2 градуса по Цельсию (°C) или на 2,16 градусов по Фаренгейту (°F). Ученые обнаружили, что мы не только достигнем повышения температуры планеты на 2°C (3,6°F), но и превысим это значение уже в 21 веке, если в ближайшие десятилетия не произойдет значительного сокращения выбросов углекислого и других парниковых газов. На первый взгляд, эти изменения кажутся незначительными, однако их последствия станут причиной потери жизней и средств к существованию для нескольких сотен миллионов человек.<br />
<br />
<br />
Из-за повышения температуры, на Земле участились периоды сильной жары, лесные пожары и неурожаи. Также это привело к большим изменениям уровня осадков - в одних частях планеты их количество увеличилось, а в других – уменьшилось, что в конечном итоге приведет к засухам и наводнениям.<br />
<br />
<br />
Деятельность человека на Земле оказывает разрушительное влияние на растения, животных, грибы и микроорганизмы. В результате их эксплуатации, загрязнения окружающей среды, изменения климата и разрушения естественной среды обитания, одному из восьми миллионов видов растений и животных на Земле угрожает исчезновение.<br />
<br />
<br />
Отсутствие видового разнообразия ослабляет экосистемы, делает их более уязвимыми для болезней и экстремальных погодных явлений, а также неспособными удовлетворять потребности и обеспечивать благополучие людей.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''● Утрата биоразнообразия менее выражена на землях, которые возделывает коренное население.'''<br />
<br />
Наибольшее количество мирового биоразнообразия находится на традиционных для коренных народов землях. Древним культурам удавалось жить в гармонии с природой на протяжении тысячелетий. Они обладали ценными знаниями для сохранения и восстановления экосистем и культивирования биоразнообразия. Однако, вследствие продолжительной истории колонизации и маргинализации, многие из этих народов были вынуждены отказаться от привычных условий жизни, оставить свои исконные земли или стать климатическими беженцами из-за проблем, связанных с изменением климата. В результате, эти уникальные культуры, знания, языки и формы самобытности также находятся под угрозой.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''● Не все страны одинаково ответственны за изменение климата - развитые страны традиционно производили больше парниковых газов.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Сжигание ископаемого топлива напрямую связано с развитием экономики. Как следствие, такие страны, как Соединенные Штаты Америки, Великобритания и страны Европейского Союза, за годы своего становления и развития произвели наибольшее количество парниковых газов. Теперь, когда уровень населения на планете увеличивается, а такие страны, как Китай и Индия следуют по тому же пути развития, ежегодно все больше людей нуждаются в сжигании ископаемого топлива.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''● Если не произойдет немедленного, быстрого и крупномасштабного сокращения выбросов парниковых газов, мы не сможем ограничить глобальное потепление ниже уровня 2°C (3,6°F). Это окажет значительное влияние на благополучие людей.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Жить в условиях изменения климата - значит жить в условиях неопределенности. Одна из них связана с идеей «критического фактора». Критические факторы изменения климата - это «точка невозврата», когда совокупные последствия изменения климата нанесут необратимый урон планете, который «каскадом» распространится по всему миру. Как только будет достигнут критический фактор, запустится серия событий, ведущих к формированию таких условий жизни, которые окажутся не просто неблагоприятными, но и даже враждебными для существования многих людей и других форм жизни. Наука не может с уверенностью предсказать, когда наступит этот критический фактор.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''● В 2015 году мировые лидеры, находясь в Париже, договорились ограничить глобальное повышение температуры до отметки в 2°C, предпочтительно 1,5°C.'''<br />
<br />
'''● По данным Межправительственной группы экспертов по изменению климата (МГЭИК) к 2040 году уровень глобального потепления достигнет 1,5 ° C. Однако, цель в 2°C по-прежнему сильно зависит от уровня выброса CO2, производимого в течение следующих десятилетий.'''<br />
<br />
'''● Даже если все текущие договоренности между странами (так называемые «вклады, определенные на национальном уровне») по сокращению выбросов парниковых газов будут выполнены – в чем мы до конца не уверены – то это приведет к глобальному потеплению минимум на 3°C (5,4°F), несмотря на цель Парижского соглашения 2015 г. ограничить потепление на отметке меньше 2°C.'''<br />
<br />
'''● Многие обязательства Парижского Соглашения могут быть не выполнены развивающимися странами, так как они зависят от зарубежной финансовой поддержки. До сих пор международная поддержка практически не оказывалась.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Ожидается, что страны будут расширять свои обязательства каждые пять лет. После Парижского Соглашения уже заметен результат. Однако предпринятых действий недостаточно, чтобы ограничить потепление до 1,5°C. При сохранении текущей скорости изменений, потепление достигнет 1,5°C к 2040 году или даже раньше. А затем продолжит расти, если в данный момент не будут предприняты дополнительные меры.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''● В настоящее время почти две трети (64%) людей в 50 странах мира считают, что изменение климата является чрезвычайной ситуацией глобального масштаба.''' <br />
<br />
'''● Чтобы придерживаться цели ограничения потепления до 1,5°C, 2020-е должны стать десятилетием значительного сокращения выбросов по всему миру.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Мировые лидеры встретятся в конце этого года в Глазго для обсуждения климатического кризиса, а в Китае будет проведена встреча, посвященная экологическому кризису. Крайне важно, чтобы правительства начали осознавать взаимосвязь между этими двумя проблемами и работали над совместными целями, задачами и действиями по их устранению.<br />
<br />
<br />
Теперь, когда цели Парижского Соглашения определены, переговоры по обсуждению климата, которые пройдут в Глазго, должны быть посвящены созданию более подробного плана действий и его достижения. На повестке затронут следующий вопрос: как договориться о более эффективном краткосрочном сокращении выбросов. Например, отказ от ископаемого топлива, оптимизация использования энергии, ограничение вырубки лесов и переход к активным действиям по достижению чистого нулевого выброса.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''1. Что такое климатический кризис?'''<br />
<br />
''В этом разделе мы рассмотрим явление, известное как «изменение климата». Что это? Что является причиной изменения климата? И почему это требует срочных решений?''<br />
<br />
<br />
Изменение климата связано с длительным процессом потепления на планете. Это происходит потому, что в атмосферу выбрасывается большое количество '''парниковых газов'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
Атмосфера - это невидимый слой вокруг Земли, содержащий множество различных газов. «'''Парниковые газы»''' - это особая группа газов, которая влияет на изменение теплового баланса атмосферы и нагревает Землю. К основным парниковым газам относятся углекислый газ (образующийся при сжигании ископаемого топлива, а также из-за вырубки лесов), метан и закись азота (образующиеся в результате использования энергии и ведения сельского хозяйства).<br />
<br />
<br />
Один из способов понять взаимосвязь между парниковыми газами и температурой - представить маленькую закрытую комнату в очень жаркий день. Палящее солнце нагревает крышу, но внутри комнаты нет ни окон, ни дверей, через которые могло бы уйти тепло. Так как ему некуда уходить, оно накапливается в комнате. Подобным образом накапливается избыточное тепло в атмосфере при избытке парниковых газов.<br />
<br />
<br />
Основным парниковым газом, производимым людьми, является углекислый газ (CO2). Деятельность человека привела к деградации или разрушению многих элементов природной среды, которые способствуют выведению газа из атмосферы (лес и почва). Около 200 лет назад люди в развитых странах начали сжигать ископаемое топливо, в связи с чем глобальная температура поверхности Земли возросла на 1,2°C (2,16°F). Несмотря на то, что это не кажется значительным изменением, последние 20 лет были самым теплым периодом за более чем 100 000 лет.<br />
<br />
<br />
На первый взгляд, это небольшое изменение температуры (1,2°C или 2,16°F), однако оно уже имеет далеко идущие последствия для жизни многих людей. Из-за повышения температуры люди столкнулись с частыми периодами сильной жары, лесными пожарами и неурожаями. Также это привело к большим изменениям уровня осадков - в одних частях планеты их количество увеличилось, а в других – уменьшилось, что в конечном итоге приведет к засухам и наводнениям.<br />
<br />
<br />
Наводнения, засухи, периоды сильной жары и ураганы случались и до изменения климата, но по результатам исследований, из-за изменения климата вероятность таких экстремальных «погодных явлений» более высока, что подвергает миллионы людей опасности во всех регионах мира: риску потерять свои дома, не иметь достаточно еды и чистой питьевой воды, быть убитыми или ранеными.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2. Что такое экологический кризис?''' <br />
<br />
''Какое влияние оказывает деятельность человека на другие биологические виды, которые живут на нашей планете? В этом разделе мы рассмотрим, почему биоразнообразие так важно для здоровья и процветания человека, а также определим роль коренных населений во всем мире.''<br />
<br />
Люди являются частью экосистемы, которая не ограничивается нашим видом. Здоровье человека неразрывно связано с состоянием животных, растений и окружающей среды. В результате того, как люди - особенно в развитых странах мира - взаимодействуют с природой, некоторые виды животных и растений вымирают. Темпы вымирания сегодня намного быстрее по сравнению с прошлым.<br />
<br />
<br />
Биоразнообразие относится ко всем разновидностям жизни на Земле, таким как растения, животные, грибы и микроорганизмы. Каждый отдельный вид играет определенную роль в состоянии и функционировании экосистемы. Однако в результате их эксплуатации (чрезмерный вылов рыбы), загрязнения окружающей среды, изменения климата и разрушения естественной среды обитания, одному из восьми миллионов видов растений и животных на Земле угрожает исчезновение.<br />
<br />
<br />
Подобная ситуация объясняется множеством причин. Леса по всему миру являются естественной средой обитания для большинства видов: деревьев, птиц и животных, но каждый год огромные участки леса уничтожаются, а земля используется для ведения сельского хозяйства или другой деятельности.<br />
<br />
<br />
Система сельскохозяйственного/продовольственного производства является одним из основных факторов, влияющих на утрату биоразнообразия, при этом только сельское хозяйство представляет собой угрозу для 24 000 видов, находящихся под угрозой исчезновения. В настоящее время все мировые запасы продовольствия зависят, в первую очередь, от очень небольшого количества видов растений. За последние столетия основное внимание уделялось увеличению производства продуктов питания по более низкой цене. Это интенсивное сельскохозяйственное производство осуществляется за счет использования почвы и экосистем Земли, что со временем постепенно делает почву менее плодородной.<br />
<br />
<br />
Текущее производство продуктов питания в значительной степени зависит от использования удобрений, пестицидов, почвы, воды и электроэнергии, а также от таких неустойчивых методов ведения сельского хозяйства, как монокультурное выращивание (интенсивное выращивание только одной культуры) и тяжелая обработка почвы (разрушение структуры почвы сельскохозяйственными инструментами и техникой). Данные действия уничтожили жилища птиц, млекопитающих, насекомых и других живых организмов, угрожая или уничтожая их места размножения, питания и гнездования, а также вытесняя многие местные виды растений.<br />
<br />
<br />
Отсутствие видового разнообразия ослабляет экосистемы, делает их более уязвимыми для болезней и экстремальных погодных явлений, а также неспособными удовлетворять потребности и обеспечивать благополучие людей. Многие лекарственные препараты, применяемые для лечения таких заболеваний, как рак, являются натуральными либо синтезированы на основе тех, которые были обнаружены в природе.<br />
<br />
<br />
Мировое население растет из года в год. Это означает, что все больше людей будут полагаться на экосистемы для удовлетворения своих базовых потребностей. В ближайшие десятилетия утрата биоразнообразия ускорится, если не будут приняты срочные меры, чтобы остановить и обратить вспять ухудшение качества экосистем, а также ограничить изменение климата. Именно поэтому это называется кризисом.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Роль коренных народов в сохранении биоразнообразия'''<br />
<br />
В среднем, уровень утраты биоразнообразия был менее серьезным на территориях, принадлежащих и возделываемых коренными народами и местными общинами. <br />
<br />
<br />
По оценкам, в 70 странах мира проживает более 370 миллионов коренных жителей. Ответственное отношение, основанное на принципах взаимоуважения и гармонии с природой, является основной ценностью многих культур коренных народов, и эти ценности часто отличаются от ценностей доминирующих сообществ, c которыми они проживают.<br />
<br />
<br />
Проживающие по всему миру, от Арктики до южной части Тихого океана, коренные народы являются потомками - согласно общепринятым представлениям - тех, кто населял страну или регион Земли в то время, когда сюда прибыли люди иных культур или этнического происхождения. Позднее, новые культуры стали завоевывать и заселять старые.<br />
<br />
<br />
Составляя менее 5% населения мира, коренные народы защищают 80% наземного биоразнообразия. Например, в Куско, Перу, община народа кечуа в настоящее время сохраняет более 1400 местных сортов одной из основных сельскохозяйственных культур мира - картофеля. Без такой защиты видового разнообразия многие из этих разновидностей могли бы бесследно исчезнуть.<br />
<br />
<br />
До сих пор существует множество видов растений, животных и насекомых, которые неизвестны науке. Большая часть этого биоразнообразия, вероятно, существует на традиционных землях коренных народов. Культурам коренных народов удавалось жить в гармонии с природой на протяжении тысячелетий и обладать ценными знаниями для сохранения и восстановления экосистем, а также преумножения биоразнообразия.<br />
<br />
<br />
Тем не менее, во всем мире общины коренных народов были вынуждены покинуть свои исконные земли и отказаться от традиционных условий жизни из-за потери своих земель, из-за крупных проектов развития, а некоторые были вынуждены стать климатическими беженцами из-за стихийных бедствий, связанных с изменением климата. Например, на Аляске - штат США с самым большим коренным населением, повышение уровня моря и учащение лесных пожаров вынудили некоторые из этих общин переселиться.<br />
<br />
<br />
Из-за многовековой истории колонизации вероятность того, что коренные народы будут жить в крайней нищете, почти в три раза выше, чем у их «некоренных» соседей. Кризис биоразнообразия также связан с будущим этих уникальных и разнообразных культур, систем знаний, языков и самобытности.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''3. В чем причины климатического и экологического кризисов?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
''В этом разделе мы разберемся, как некоторые из доминирующих «представлений о мире» прошлых веков сформировали отношение к природе, лежащее в основе сегодняшнего климатического и экологического кризиса.''<br />
<br />
<br />
Кризис климата и биоразнообразия - сложная проблема и результат многих связанных между собой политических, экономических и социальных проблем. Одним из факторов, затрудняющих решение этой задачи, являются некоторые «представления о мире», лежащие в основе климатического и экологического кризисов.<br />
<br />
<br />
Мировоззрение немного похоже на очки, сквозь которые мы смотрим на окружающий нас мир. А представление о нем отражает наши основные ценности и убеждения, и оно определяет то, как именно мы думаем и чего мы ожидаем от мира. На это влияет наш личный опыт, убеждения и ценности, переданные нам от нашей семьи и учителей, а также те убеждения и культурные ценности, в которых мы выросли. Наше мировоззрение влияет на то, как мы видим мир и действуем в нем.<br />
<br />
<br />
Сегодня «экономический рост» часто используется как маркер прогресса и показатель того, что уровень жизни повышается. Однако идея экономического роста зачастую соответствует картине мира, согласно которой люди доминируют и эксплуатируют природу. Это «мировоззрение» лежит в основе организации деятельности многих стран, сильно загрязняющих окружающую среду, и, по мнению многих, уходит корнями на 4 столетия назад. Этот период известен как научная революция. Крупные умы того времени писали о том, что человечество превосходит природу и что люди имеют право господствовать над ней. Идеи, которые впервые стали распространяться в то время, оказали огромное влияние на последующие столетия и помогли сформировать законы, технологии, образ жизни, обычаи и культуры, которые все еще бытуют в развитых странах сегодня. Многие из этих образов жизни и мышления с тех пор были переданы или навязаны другим странам по всему миру.<br />
<br />
<br />
Со времен промышленной революции, достижения в области науки и техники создали пропасть между людьми, живущими в развитых странах и их непосредственной зависимости от природы. Миллионы людей стали жить в городах и начали работать на фабриках, где они управляли машинами, вместо ручного труда и работать на земле. В этот период новые технологии (паровоз, автомобиль, лампа накаливания) быстро изменили жизни людей - так же, как мобильные телефоны, компьютеры и Интернет изменили жизнь сегодня по сравнению с тем, что было 50 лет назад. В то время, как некоторые технологические изменения, несомненно, принесли людям пользу - например, улучшение качества современной медицины - новые технологии позволили людям доминировать и извлекать выгоду из природы, что было невозможно представить раньше.<br />
<br />
Промышленная революция позволила добывать ископаемое топливо в массовых масштабах. Его сжигание было основным источником энергии на протяжении более 100 лет и именно это стимулировало экономическое развитие. В результате, развитые страны, такие как США, Великобритания и страны ЕС, со временем произвели наибольшее количество парниковых газов. Теперь, когда уровень населения на планете увеличивается, а такие страны, как Китай и Индия следуют по тому же пути развития, ежегодно все больше людей нуждаются в сжигании ископаемого топлива. В настоящее время Китай и его быстрорастущая экономика является крупнейшим в мире источником выброса парниковых газов. Исторически США были крупнейшим источником загрязнения – это значит, что именно они произвели наибольшее количество парниковых газов. В пятерке основных источников загрязнений, США также имеют самый высокий показатель выброса углекислого газа на человека.<br />
<br />
<br />
Климатический и экологический кризисы - это многогранная проблема, и невозможно найти одно единственное объяснение происходящему. Более того, людям очень трудно понять масштабы и последствия климатического и экологического кризиса, а это ограничивает способность людей действовать настолько решительно и безотлагательно, насколько это необходимо.<br />
<br />
<br />
Образ жизни, наносящий ущерб природе и способствующий наибольшему выбросу углерода, глубоко укоренился в современном обществе. Некоторые называют климатический и экологический кризисы «кризисом взаимоотношений» между человеком и природой. Они говорят, что для перехода к более устойчивому будущему нам необходимо «подружиться» с природой и изменить наши экономические, финансовые и производственные системы в соответствии с ними. В 2021 году группа исследователей определила девять взаимосвязанных причин нашей коллективной неспособности справиться с климатическим кризисом за последние три десятилетия. Они утверждали, что для эффективного решения этого кризиса необходимо подвергнуть сомнению многие из основных мировоззрений, лежащих в основе индустриальных развитых обществ.<br />
<br />
<br />
Люди - биологические животные, а планета Земля - наша среда обитания. Мы не отделены от природы, а действительно являемся ее частью и зависим от нее, чтобы выжить. Микроорганизмы в нашем кишечнике помогают пищеварению, в то время как другие составляют часть нашей кожи. Такие насекомые, как пчелы и осы, помогают производить пищу, которую мы потребляем, в то время как деревья и растения поглощают выделяемый нами углекислый газ и производят кислород, необходимый нам для дыхания.<br />
<br />
<br />
Несмотря на многие десятилетия борьбы с изменением климата, развитые общества еще не смогли создать для себя желаемый образ жизни, не связанный с ископаемым топливом и не зависящий от экономического роста как показателя развития и прогресса.<br />
<br />
Здоровая окружающая среда - необходимое условие устойчивой экономики. Принимается в широких кругах, что экономическое производство - валовой внутренний продукт (ВВП) - как показатель экономического роста необходимо дополнять термином «инклюзивное богатство» (суммой произведенного человеческого и природного капиталов), учитывающим здоровье населения, окружающей среды, который является наилучшим показателем того, устойчива ли национальная экономическая политика для нынешней молодежи и будущих поколений.</div>

<br />
== From Plenary 1 - October 9th, 2021 ==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!'''QUESTIONS'''<br />
!'''ANSWERS'''<br />
|-<br />
|1. How exactly are the Global Surface Temperatures in the Recent History Passage Chart calculated? Are they based on temperatures from a single location, or an average of temperatures from many points around the globe?<br />
|The global mean surface temperature is based on a globally distributed network of land- and ocean-based measurements. There are 32,000 land weather stations, weather balloons, radar, ships and ocean buoys. Satellite observations can be used to complement the surface-based measurements.<br />
|-<br />
|2. Is there any evidence that humans have accelerated the process of biodiversity loss?<br />
|Yes. There is no doubt that human activities are destroying nature and causing the loss of biodiversity. There are five major causes for the loss of biodiversity: (i) conversion of natural ecosystems, e.g., forests, grasslands, mangrove systems, to agriculture, plantation forests, roads and cities; (ii) over-exploited land and ocean-based ecosystems, e.g., overfishing; (iii) climate change; (iv) air, land and ocean pollution; and (v) introduction of alien invasive species. All five activities have caused the loss of animals and plants, and the services nature provides for humans, e.g., food production, clean water, flood control, pest and disease control.<br />
|-<br />
|3. Are we capable of undoing all the damage we have inflicted upon the ecosystem? Can we make everything the same as before or will we inevitably face negative consequences due to our irresponsibility?<br />
|No. We can partially restore some of the heavily degraded ecosystems, but we can never come close to fully restoring them. For example, we can reforest some of the heavily deforested areas in the world, but many of these deforested areas are now agricultural fields, or used for livestock, or are roads and cities.<br />
|-<br />
|4. Where will the butterflies lay their eggs once the trees are gone?<br />
|It is unlikely that all the trees will be gone, but there will be far fewer trees for butterflies, birds and other animals that rely on trees for their survival.<br />
|-<br />
|5. What can we do to mitigate the ecological crisis and to restore the ecological balance?<br />
|We must stop converting our natural ecosystems (forests, grasslands, wetlands, etc), stop over-exploiting them (e.g., overfishing in the oceans), limit climate change, pollution and the introduction of alien invasive species. We need to recognize the value of nature in decision-making. We need more sustainable ways to grow our food and produce and use energy.<br />
|-<br />
|6. What is the significance of the increase in average global temperatures?<br />
|A warmer world results in changes in rainfall patterns, sea level rise, more extreme weather events (floods, droughts and heat-waves), melting of mountain glaciers, melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice, and melting of sea ice. These all adversely affect food production, the quality and quantity of water, the displacement of people due to sea-level rise and river flooding, an increase in vector-borne diseases (e.g., malaria and dengue) and heat stress-mortality, and loss of biodiversity.<br />
|-<br />
|7. We have always lived with calamities; however, their frequency seems to have increased so suddenly these days. Why is this the case?<br />
|The rate of temperature change and the rate of the loss of biodiversity is unprecedented because of the rapid increase in the production and use of energy and demand for food, water, materials and medicines, all due to an ever-increasing and wealthier population. The more people there are, and the more income they have, the greater the demand for energy and food. Unfortunately the way we produce and use our energy and food is unsustainable – we must in the future produce our energy and food in a much more sustainable manner and consume it more sustainably.<br />
|-<br />
|8. How do we explain the regional differences in the effects of climate change? For instance, why do we have floods in some regions and droughts in others?<br />
|Even in the natural world before humans started to change it, there were large regional differences in temperature and rainfall patterns. The Earth does not warm uniformly in response to human activities. The land warms more than the oceans and the high latitudes warm more than the tropics and sub-tropics. This leads to regional changes in rainfall and other extreme weather events. The Earth’s weather and climate is a complex system of interactions between dynamical, radiative and chemical processes on the land, oceans and atmosphere.<br />
|-<br />
|9. What are the main reasons for fires in large urban areas?<br />
|The warmer the Earth becomes in areas which are becoming drier, there is more possibility of fires in urban and rural areas. As vegetation dries in both urban and rural areas it becomes fuel for wildfires. As the Earth warms we are seeing more floods and droughts in the same areas (i.e., the same area will see an increase in both floods and droughts because in most parts of the world we will see more heavy rainfall and less light rainfall). The heavy rainfalls produce more floods and the light rainfall (or dry spells) produces more droughts, and hence the possibility of wildfires.<br />

!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|1. On online platforms such as TikTok, we see videos of people from rich countries wasting food. Are developed countries really more aware than developing countries concerning their emissions?<br />
|There is a lack of an adequate awareness of greenhouse gas emissions at the individual level in both developed and developing countries.<br />
|-<br />
|2. Is there a one-pager listing the little good steps we can take to reduce global warming? This could really help spread awareness within our communities about the simple acts we can do at an individual level.<br />
|The Knowledge and Wisdom Committee does not know of a published list but here is a list that the Knowledge and Wisdom Committee:<br />
<br />
* Vote for politicians that have the ability/willingness to take a long-term view and who recognize the importance of the well-being of the environment, and also recognize that climate change and loss of biodiversity are not only environmental issues, but are economic, development, security, social, moral and ethical issues<br />
* Support organizations that hold leaders and companies accountable for not decarbonizing fast enough and therefore violate our human rights.<br />
* Vote by using your purchasing power<br />
* Buy goods that are sustainable<br />
* Demand sustainable investments from your pension fund & insurance companies<br />
* Conserve water and reduce food waste (30-40% of our food is wasted)<br />
* Buy energy-efficient appliances<br />
* Insulate your house<br />
* Walk more, bicycle more, use public transport more often, and telecommute if possible<br />
* Drive less, and replace a fossil car with an electric car<br />
* If you need to fly, use an airline that allows offsetting your carbon footprint<br />
<br />
* Inspire your neighbors and relatives by example<br />
* Teach your children about sustainability<br />

|2. On the global surface temperatures graph that we looked at on October 12 (1.3B), we observe several fluctuations. What were their reasons? Since global temperatures were fluctuating even before humans existed, how can we know that the current climate change is human-made? Can’t it be related to Earth’s own natural processes which cause the temperatures to go up and down periodically?<br />
| colspan="2" |This is the graph that was used on October 12th to discuss global surface temperature change:<br />

However, there is no doubt that the recent changes are due to human activity. The scientific community has examined changes in solar output and volcanic activity, and neither of these can explain the increase in global mean surface temperature of the last 100 years, especially the rapid increase since 1950.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In any given time period global mean surface temperature responds to both natural phenomena (solar activity, volcanic eruptions and natural climatic variations which occur on decadal timescales) and human activities (emissions of greenhouse gases, aerosols and changes in land albedo). The period 1965-1975 is no different. There is no doubt that since 1950 the temperature increase is predominantly due to human activities – the increase cannot be explained by natural phenomena. It is important to measure change over decades because internal variability, largely caused by the exchange of energy between the oceans and atmosphere, can amplify or offset warming by about 0.1<sup>o</sup>C in a decade.<br />

!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|6. What does “feedback loop” mean?<br />
|This is when one action leads to another action that enhances the first action. For example: as the Earth warms due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) it can melt permafrost at high latitudes and release the methane which is trapped in the permafrost, which then increases the atmospheric concentration of methane that causes the earth to warm even more, which then releases more methane from the permafrost, and the cycle continues – it is called a feedback loop or a run-away effect.<br />

|11. How has climate change threatened the animals?<br />
|TBC<br />
|-<br />
|12.Is there a relationship between volcanic eruptions and climate change?<br />
|Yes. If there is a large explosive volcanic eruption, where the gases (including sulfur gases) and ashes reach the lower stratosphere, the sulfur gases get converted to sulphuric acid aerosols (small particles), which reflect incoming solar radiation, which then tends to cool the surface of the Earth. Aerosols cool the earth partly offsetting the warming effect of the greenhouse gases.<br />

{| class="wikitable"<br />
!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|13. Which regions have been worst affected by climate change? Which regions have been least affected? Is there any region which has not been affected at all? How can we explain these differences?<br />
|All regions of the world are being affected by human-induced climate change, but to differing degrees. As the Earth warms in response to the increasing levels of greenhouse gases, it warms almost everywhere, but not uniformly, precipitation patterns change, there are more extreme weather events, sea levels rise and glaciers and sea-ice melt. The land areas warm more than the oceans and the high latitudes warm more than the tropics and sub-tropics. The tropics and mid- and high-latitudes tend to become wetter and the sub-tropics become drier. Most areas will experience more heat waves, floods and droughts, and sea level will rise everywhere. So the Arctic region has warmed the most and will continue to do so. The western half of Africa, North Africa and the Mediterranean have experienced the greatest degree of agricultural and ecological droughts, and low-lying small Island States and deltaic areas are suffering most from sea-level rise.<br />
|-<br />
|14. Is there a reason why developing countries have so many ecological disasters compared to first-world countries; yet they have less carbon emissions?<br />
|The observed ecological disasters are primarily caused by land-use change (e.g., deforestation, conversion of wetlands and grasslands to monoculture agriculture and plantation forests), and over-exploitation of plants and animals (particularly a problem in the oceans – overfishing), as well as to a lesser degree climate change, pollution and invasive alien species. One million of the eight million animals and plants are threatened with extinction due to a combination of these threats, It does not matter where the greenhouse gases are emitted, they become uniformly mixed in the atmosphere, although the response of the atmosphere is not uniform as noted in the answer to the previous question. <br />
|-<br />
|15. In Mozambique, there is a region which is currently at war. Many people leave this region, become refugees, and face food insecurity. Is there a relationship between the ecological crisis on the one hand, and civil strife, refugee crisis, and food insecurity on the other?<br />
|Yes. Climate change, and the destruction of nature can cause loss of natural resources (e.g, food and clean water), which can then cause conflicts in local areas, which can cause people to leave these areas. Hence, there is a connection between climate change, the ecological crisis, conflict, food and water shortages and refugees.<br />
|-<br />
|16. What is the definition of “indigenous people”? What distinguishes them from other residents who live in the same region with them? Can you provide some examples of indigenous communities around the world? For instance, are there any indigenous communities in Bangladesh?<br />
| '''A question of identity'''<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the United Nations the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples. This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights documents. That is the reason, some prefer to be named First Nations, Original Peoples, Original Nations, among other names.<br />
<br />
<br />
The term “indigenous” has prevailed as a generic term for many years. In some countries, there may be preference for other terms including tribes, first peoples/nations, aboriginals, ethnic groups, adivasi, janajati. Occupational and geographical terms like hunter-gatherers, nomads, peasants, hill people, etc., also exist and for all practical purposes can be used interchangeably with “indigenous peoples”.<br />
<br />
In many cases, the notion of being termed “indigenous” has negative connotations and some people may choose not to reveal or define their origin. Others must respect such choices, while at the same time working against the discrimination of indigenous peoples.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is estimated that there are more than 370 million “indigenous people” spread across 70 countries worldwide. Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Spread across the world from the Arctic to the South Pacific, they are the descendants - according to a common definition - of those who inhabited a country or a geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived. The new arrivals later became dominant through conquest, occupation, settlement or other means.<br />
<br />
Among the (indigenous peoples) original peoples are those of the Americas (for example, the Lakota in the USA, the Mayas in Guatemala or the Aymaras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the circumpolar region, the Saami of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand. These and most other indigenous peoples have retained distinct characteristics which are clearly different from those of other segments of the national populations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Understanding the term “indigenous”<br />
<br />
Considering the diversity of indigenous peoples, an official definition of “indigenous” has not been adopted by any UN-system body. Instead the system has developed a modern understanding of this term based on the following:<br />
<br />
● Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member.<br />
<br />
● Historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies<br />
<br />
● Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources<br />
<br />
● Distinct social, economic or political systems<br />
<br />
● Distinct language, culture and beliefs<br />
<br />
● Form non-dominant groups of society<br />
<br />
● Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities. (United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, 2021)<br />
|-<br />
|17. How do indigenous communities contribute to environmental protection? What are some of the indigenous communities most threatened by the plant biodiversity loss?<br />
|Original Nations (indigenous peoples) have an intimate relationship with nature and Mother Earth. Their way of thinking and doing in reciprocity, reverence, respect and responsibility in relationship with their territories are based in biocultural practices that protect life systems. <br />
<br />
As original nations (indigenous) around the world face extreme climatic events that threaten their livelihoods and well-being, responses that stem from indigenous knowledge, experiences, wisdom and world views are being emerged. [https://ipcca.info/ The Indigenous Peoples’ Bio cultural Climate Change Assessment Initiative (IPCCA)] has emerged as an innovative response, bringing together indigenous knowledge and science in a process which links biocultural realities with complex global processes. <br />
<br />
Use of biocultural methods and tools involve communities from around the world in the assessment of climate change and local well-being and the development of evidence-based responses for climate change adaptation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of the territories of Original Nations are being threatened by development programs (mining, deforestation, urban sprawl, fossil fuel companies and the like). Original Peoples in the Amazon like the Huni Kui, Sapara, Quichuas, among others are being threatened by oil companies, mining and deforestation activities. The same happens in the Congo Basin and among the Otomi, Mazahua and Mexica- Nahua in Central Mexico. <br />
|-<br />
|18. Is transhumanism an element of environmental justice?<br />
|Transhumanism is a social and philosophical movement devoted to promoting the research and development of robust human-enhancement technologies. Such technologies would augment or increase human sensory reception, emotive ability, or cognitive capacity as well as radically improve human health and extend human life spans.<br />
<br />
From the indigenous perspective, transhumanism is contrary to the natural life cycles and should be seen as environmental injustice not as environmental justice. This is based on the notion that human species are the dominant species on earth. From the perspective of indegenous communities, Artificial Intelligence should be in service of protecting the whole life systems, not just to the human species. <br />

!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|19. What can be done to avoid droughts?<br />
|The highest priority is to limit human-induced climate change, and then adapt to changing precipitation patterns, through managing water resources at the watershed scale. Also we need to conserve and save water, and use it much more efficiently than we do now in many parts of the world.<br />
|-<br />
|20. How can people change their behavior to counter climate change? What can we do as individuals? In what ways can we engage our own communities for climate action?<br />
|Individuals can (same answer to question 2 above in the first section of questions).<br />
<br />
● Vote for politicians that have the ability/willingness to take a long-term view and who recognize the importance of the well-being of the environment, and also recognize that climate change and loss of biodiversity are not only environmental issues, but are economic, development, security, social, moral and ethical issues<br />

|-<br />
|21. Referring to point 5 on section 6b, how can the carbon dioxide be successfully removed from the atmosphere through the conservation and restoration of ecosystems?<br />
|Conserving ecosystems, especially those that are carbon-rich (e.g., forests), rather than destroying them, means that the carbon in the soils and biomass (i.e., trees and other vegetation) is not released to the atmosphere. Restoring degraded ecosystems (e.g., deforested areas, drained wetlands, converted grasslands) by replanting with native vegetation can sequester carbon from the atmosphere.<br />

=== Climate Politics & Economy ===<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|22. What should the governments do to fight climate change?<br />
|They should have an action plan that will achieve the Paris target of limiting warming to less than 2<sup>o</sup>C by 2100 and preferably 1.5<sup>o</sup>C. This will require all governments to contribute to reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases by about 50% relative to current emissions by 2030, and achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. This will require transitioning to a low-carbon economy, where; (i) the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity and heat is eliminated, unless the carbon is captured prior to release into the atmosphere and then stored in depleted oil and gas wells, deep oceans and saline aquifers, and replaced with renewable energy technologies; (ii) energy is used more efficiently, e.g., electric cars, efficient buildings and appliances; (iii) more sustainable land-use practices (e.g., sustainable agriculture and forestry, and stop converting natural habitats); and (iv) elimination of fossil fuel subsidies and taxing carbon emissions.<br />
|-<br />
|23. What resolutions have come out of the COPs so far? Have the COPs produced any written agreements to implement these resolutions?<br />
|All Governments agreed in Paris in 2015 to limit warming to less than 2<sup>o</sup>C and preferably 1.5<sup>o</sup>C by 2100. They also submitted written voluntary pledges (Nationally Determined Contributions) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hopefully new written pledges will be made at COP-26 in Glasgow this November.<br />
|-<br />
|24. Why were the targets set in previous climate agreements not achieved? What good are these agreements if they cannot be implemented? Is there any sanction mechanism for countries who do not fulfill their pledges to fight climate change?<br />
|The Paris national pledges were voluntary and not legally binding, therefore there are no sanction mechanisms for failure to achieve the emissions targets. Some countries made their targets others didn’t for a variety of reasons, e.g., after President Obama pledged to reduce US emissions, President Trump argued that climate change was a hoax and repealed all executive orders that would have helped the US reduce its emissions significantly. However, even under the Trump presidency, some States, cities and businesses did reduce their emissions. Other countries, e.g., Australia, also has leaders who are not committed to fulfilling the Paris climate agreement. Some developing country commitments were contingent upon financial assistance, which has to some degree been lacking. While not perfect, the Paris Climate Agreement is very important.<br />
|-<br />
|25. Inclusiveness is very important in climate talks. Did the previous COP meetings include representatives of the indigenous peoples?<br />
|Yes.<br />
|-<br />
|26. How can we balance economic growth that can guarantee development with environmental protection?<br />
|This is the big challenge. But to succeed we must transform our economic, financial and productive systems. We need to complement the use of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with measures of inclusive wealth (built, human and natural capital) in decision-making, as inclusive wealth is a better measure of sustainable economic growth. We need to eliminate environmentally harmful fossil fuel, agricultural, fisheries, and mining subsidies which promote environmental degradation. We need to internalize externalities into the prices of goods and services (i.e., tax pollution), and we need to embrace sustainable production and consumption (i.e., a circular economy). We need to stop investing in fossil fuels and unsustainable agriculture and invest in a low-carbon economy and sustainable agriculture, forestry and fisheries. We need to transform our energy, agriculture and water sectors and address them as one interconnected productive system. We need to reassess our norms, values and governance systems.<br />
|-<br />
|27. How can global trade arrangements such as tariffs change the prospects of climate change? Won’t these arrangements have negative social consequences?<br />
|International trade must be re-assessed. Fossil fuel and agricultural subsidies need to be eliminated, and if the initial costs of food and energy increase then social safety nets need to be developed.<br />
|-<br />
|28. Some multinational companies claim to be leading the way in eco-friendly practices. Should we support them if we want to help? Can they help to pave the way for national governments?<br />
|We must absolutely support multinational companies that are genuinely eco-friendly. A lot of research is currently being conducted to develop indicators of environmental performance to assess how eco-friendly business practices are. In some cases, possibly many cases, the private sector is leading Governments in the transition to sustainability. The World Economic Forum and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development are leading players in this arena.<br />

<br />
== From Plenary 1 - October 9th, 2021 ==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!'''QUESTIONS'''<br />
!'''ANSWERS'''<br />
|-<br />
|1. How exactly are the Global Surface Temperatures in the Recent History Passage Chart calculated? Are they based on temperatures from a single location, or an average of temperatures from many points around the globe?<br />
|The global mean surface temperature is based on a globally distributed network of land- and ocean-based measurements. There are 32,000 land weather stations, weather balloons, radar, ships and ocean buoys. Satellite observations can be used to complement the surface-based measurements.<br />
|-<br />
|2. Is there any evidence that humans have accelerated the process of biodiversity loss?<br />
|Yes. There is no doubt that human activities are destroying nature and causing the loss of biodiversity. There are five major causes for the loss of biodiversity: (i) conversion of natural ecosystems, e.g., forests, grasslands, mangrove systems, to agriculture, plantation forests, roads and cities; (ii) over-exploited land and ocean-based ecosystems, e.g., overfishing; (iii) climate change; (iv) air, land and ocean pollution; and (v) introduction of alien invasive species. All five activities have caused the loss of animals and plants, and the services nature provides for humans, e.g., food production, clean water, flood control, pest and disease control.<br />
|-<br />
|3. Are we capable of undoing all the damage we have inflicted upon the ecosystem? Can we make everything the same as before or will we inevitably face negative consequences due to our irresponsibility?<br />
|No. We can partially restore some of the heavily degraded ecosystems, but we can never come close to fully restoring them. For example, we can reforest some of the heavily deforested areas in the world, but many of these deforested areas are now agricultural fields, or used for livestock, or are roads and cities.<br />
|-<br />
|4. Where will the butterflies lay their eggs once the trees are gone?<br />
|It is unlikely that all the trees will be gone, but there will be far fewer trees for butterflies, birds and other animals that rely on trees for their survival.<br />
|-<br />
|5. What can we do to mitigate the ecological crisis and to restore the ecological balance?<br />
|We must stop converting our natural ecosystems (forests, grasslands, wetlands, etc), stop over-exploiting them (e.g., overfishing in the oceans), limit climate change, pollution and the introduction of alien invasive species. We need to recognize the value of nature in decision-making. We need more sustainable ways to grow our food and produce and use energy.<br />
|-<br />
|6. What is the significance of the increase in average global temperatures?<br />
|A warmer world results in changes in rainfall patterns, sea level rise, more extreme weather events (floods, droughts and heat-waves), melting of mountain glaciers, melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice, and melting of sea ice. These all adversely affect food production, the quality and quantity of water, the displacement of people due to sea-level rise and river flooding, an increase in vector-borne diseases (e.g., malaria and dengue) and heat stress-mortality, and loss of biodiversity.<br />
|-<br />
|7. We have always lived with calamities; however, their frequency seems to have increased so suddenly these days. Why is this the case?<br />
|The rate of temperature change and the rate of the loss of biodiversity is unprecedented because of the rapid increase in the production and use of energy and demand for food, water, materials and medicines, all due to an ever-increasing and wealthier population. The more people there are, and the more income they have, the greater the demand for energy and food. Unfortunately the way we produce and use our energy and food is unsustainable – we must in the future produce our energy and food in a much more sustainable manner and consume it more sustainably.<br />
|-<br />
|8. How do we explain the regional differences in the effects of climate change? For instance, why do we have floods in some regions and droughts in others?<br />
|Even in the natural world before humans started to change it, there were large regional differences in temperature and rainfall patterns. The Earth does not warm uniformly in response to human activities. The land warms more than the oceans and the high latitudes warm more than the tropics and sub-tropics. This leads to regional changes in rainfall and other extreme weather events. The Earth’s weather and climate is a complex system of interactions between dynamical, radiative and chemical processes on the land, oceans and atmosphere.<br />
|-<br />
|9. What are the main reasons for fires in large urban areas?<br />
|The warmer the Earth becomes in areas which are becoming drier, there is more possibility of fires in urban and rural areas. As vegetation dries in both urban and rural areas it becomes fuel for wildfires. As the Earth warms we are seeing more floods and droughts in the same areas (i.e., the same area will see an increase in both floods and droughts because in most parts of the world we will see more heavy rainfall and less light rainfall). The heavy rainfalls produce more floods and the light rainfall (or dry spells) produces more droughts, and hence the possibility of wildfires.<br />

!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|1. On online platforms such as TikTok, we see videos of people from rich countries wasting food. Are developed countries really more aware than developing countries concerning their emissions?<br />
|There is a lack of an adequate awareness of greenhouse gas emissions at the individual level in both developed and developing countries.<br />
|-<br />
|2. Is there a one-pager listing the little good steps we can take to reduce global warming? This could really help spread awareness within our communities about the simple acts we can do at an individual level.<br />
|The Knowledge and Wisdom Committee does not know of a published list but here is a list that the Knowledge and Wisdom Committee:<br />
<br />
* Vote for politicians that have the ability/willingness to take a long-term view and who recognize the importance of the well-being of the environment, and also recognize that climate change and loss of biodiversity are not only environmental issues, but are economic, development, security, social, moral and ethical issues<br />
* Support organizations that hold leaders and companies accountable for not decarbonizing fast enough and therefore violate our human rights.<br />
* Vote by using your purchasing power<br />
* Buy goods that are sustainable<br />
* Demand sustainable investments from your pension fund & insurance companies<br />
* Conserve water and reduce food waste (30-40% of our food is wasted)<br />
* Buy energy-efficient appliances<br />
* Insulate your house<br />
* Walk more, bicycle more, use public transport more often, and telecommute if possible<br />
* Drive less, and replace a fossil car with an electric car<br />
* If you need to fly, use an airline that allows offsetting your carbon footprint<br />
<br />
* Inspire your neighbors and relatives by example<br />
* Teach your children about sustainability<br />
|-<br />
|3. There are many people in the world who still do not have access to electricity. Which sources of energy do they use? How can the transition to clean energy succeed for these populations who are also among the most vulnerable to climate change?<br />
|At the moment too many poor people have to rely on biomass and dung to heat there houses, and many have no access to electricity. However, off-grid modern renewable energy (solar and wind) provides a great opportunity for poor people, as the cost of solar and wind energy is decreasing .<br />

|2. On the global surface temperatures graph that we looked at on October 12 (1.3B), we observe several fluctuations. What were their reasons? Since global temperatures were fluctuating even before humans existed, how can we know that the current climate change is human-made? Can’t it be related to Earth’s own natural processes which cause the temperatures to go up and down periodically?<br />
| colspan="2" |This is the graph that was used on October 12th to discuss global surface temperature change:<br />
[[File:Global Surface Temperature Change IPCC AR6 WGI Pg 144 - GA Graph.png|alt=Global Surface Temperature Change IPCC AR6 WGI Pg 144 - GA Graph|center|thumb|373x373px|Global Surface Temperature Change IPCC AR6 WGI Pg 144 - GA Graph]]The fluctuations in temperature shown in the figure above are due to natural phenomena – the Earth has moved in and out of ice ages due to variations in solar activity reaching the Earth’s surface. However, there is no doubt that the recent changes are due to human activity. The scientific community has examined changes in solar output and volcanic activity, and neither of these can explain the increase in global mean surface temperature of the last 100 years, especially the rapid increase since 1950.<br />
|-<br />
|3. Why did the temperatures change between 1965-1975? Was it because of natural phenomena or human activities?<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
In any given time period global mean surface temperature responds to both natural phenomena (solar activity, volcanic eruptions and natural climatic variations which occur on decadal timescales) and human activities (emissions of greenhouse gases, aerosols and changes in land albedo). The period 1965-1975 is no different. There is no doubt that since 1950 the temperature increase is predominantly due to human activities – the increase cannot be explained by natural phenomena. It is important to measure change over decades because internal variability, largely caused by the exchange of energy between the oceans and atmosphere, can amplify or offset warming by about 0.1<sup>o</sup>C in a decade.<br />

!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|6. What does “feedback loop” mean?<br />
|This is when one action leads to another action that enhances the first action. For example: as the Earth warms due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) it can melt permafrost at high latitudes and release the methane which is trapped in the permafrost, which then increases the atmospheric concentration of methane that causes the earth to warm even more, which then releases more methane from the permafrost, and the cycle continues – it is called a feedback loop or a run-away effect.<br />

|7. What are the specific species of vascular plants that are projected to go extinct from now to 2050? If the majority of the plants will go extinct in the future, how will we survive without vegetables?<br />
|TBC<br />

|8. Can you explain the basic characteristics of savannah and rainforest with examples? How will the former replace the latter?<br />
|TBC<br />

|9. Can you unpack the role and importance of the marine collagen ecosystem in climate change?<br />
|TBC<br />

|10. How is it possible to clean the oceans, and how much time will it take?<br />
|TBC<br />
|-<br />
|11. How has climate change threatened the animals?<br />
|TBC<br />
|-<br />
|12.Is there a relationship between volcanic eruptions and climate change?<br />
|Yes. If there is a large explosive volcanic eruption, where the gases (including sulfur gases) and ashes reach the lower stratosphere, the sulfur gases get converted to sulphuric acid aerosols (small particles), which reflect incoming solar radiation, which then tends to cool the surface of the Earth. Aerosols cool the earth partly offsetting the warming effect of the greenhouse gases.<br />

!QUESTIONS<br />
!ANSWERS<br />
|-<br />
|13. Which regions have been worst affected by climate change? Which regions have been least affected? Is there any region which has not been affected at all? How can we explain these differences?<br />
|All regions of the world are being affected by human-induced climate change, but to differing degrees. As the Earth warms in response to the increasing levels of greenhouse gases, it warms almost everywhere, but not uniformly, precipitation patterns change, there are more extreme weather events, sea levels rise and glaciers and sea-ice melt. The land areas warm more than the oceans and the high latitudes warm more than the tropics and sub-tropics. The tropics and mid- and high-latitudes tend to become wetter and the sub-tropics become drier. Most areas will experience more heat waves, floods and droughts, and sea level will rise everywhere. So the Arctic region has warmed the most and will continue to do so. The western half of Africa, North Africa and the Mediterranean have experienced the greatest degree of agricultural and ecological droughts, and low-lying small Island States and deltaic areas are suffering most from sea-level rise.<br />
|-<br />
|14. Is there a reason why developing countries have so many ecological disasters compared to first-world countries; yet they have less carbon emissions?<br />
|The observed ecological disasters are primarily caused by land-use change (e.g., deforestation, conversion of wetlands and grasslands to monoculture agriculture and plantation forests), and over-exploitation of plants and animals (particularly a problem in the oceans – overfishing), as well as to a lesser degree climate change, pollution and invasive alien species. One million of the eight million animals and plants are threatened with extinction due to a combination of these threats, It does not matter where the greenhouse gases are emitted, they become uniformly mixed in the atmosphere, although the response of the atmosphere is not uniform as noted in the answer to the previous question. <br />
|-<br />
|15. In Mozambique, there is a region which is currently at war. Many people leave this region, become refugees, and face food insecurity. Is there a relationship between the ecological crisis on the one hand, and civil strife, refugee crisis, and food insecurity on the other?<br />
|Yes. Climate change, and the destruction of nature can cause loss of natural resources (e.g, food and clean water), which can then cause conflicts in local areas, which can cause people to leave these areas. Hence, there is a connection between climate change, the ecological crisis, conflict, food and water shortages and refugees.<br />
|-<br />
|16. What is the definition of “indigenous people”? What distinguishes them from other residents who live in the same region with them? Can you provide some examples of indigenous communities around the world? For instance, are there any indigenous communities in Bangladesh?<br />
| '''A question of identity'''<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the United Nations the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples. This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights documents. That is the reason, some prefer to be named First Nations, Original Peoples, Original Nations, among other names.<br />
<br />
<br />
The term “indigenous” has prevailed as a generic term for many years. In some countries, there may be preference for other terms including tribes, first peoples/nations, aboriginals, ethnic groups, adivasi, janajati. Occupational and geographical terms like hunter-gatherers, nomads, peasants, hill people, etc., also exist and for all practical purposes can be used interchangeably with “indigenous peoples”.<br />
<br />
In many cases, the notion of being termed “indigenous” has negative connotations and some people may choose not to reveal or define their origin. Others must respect such choices, while at the same time working against the discrimination of indigenous peoples.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is estimated that there are more than 370 million “indigenous people” spread across 70 countries worldwide. Practicing unique traditions, they retain social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Spread across the world from the Arctic to the South Pacific, they are the descendants - according to a common definition - of those who inhabited a country or a geographical region at the time when people of different cultures or ethnic origins arrived. The new arrivals later became dominant through conquest, occupation, settlement or other means.<br />
<br />
Among the (indigenous peoples) original peoples are those of the Americas (for example, the Lakota in the USA, the Mayas in Guatemala or the Aymaras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the circumpolar region, the Saami of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand. These and most other indigenous peoples have retained distinct characteristics which are clearly different from those of other segments of the national populations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Understanding the term “indigenous”<br />
<br />
Considering the diversity of indigenous peoples, an official definition of “indigenous” has not been adopted by any UN-system body. Instead the system has developed a modern understanding of this term based on the following:<br />
<br />
● Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member.<br />
<br />
● Historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies<br />
<br />
● Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources<br />
<br />
● Distinct social, economic or political systems<br />
<br />
● Distinct language, culture and beliefs<br />
<br />
● Form non-dominant groups of society<br />
<br />
● Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities. (United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, 2021)<br />
|-<br />
|17. How do indigenous communities contribute to environmental protection? What are some of the indigenous communities most threatened by the plant biodiversity loss?<br />
|Original Nations (indigenous peoples) have an intimate relationship with nature and Mother Earth. Their way of thinking and doing in reciprocity, reverence, respect and responsibility in relationship with their territories are based in biocultural practices that protect life systems. <br />
<br />
As original nations (indigenous) around the world face extreme climatic events that threaten their livelihoods and well-being, responses that stem from indigenous knowledge, experiences, wisdom and world views are being emerged. The Indigenous Peoples’ Bio cultural Climate Change Assessment Initiative (IPCCA) has emerged as an innovative response, bringing together indigenous knowledge and science in a process which links biocultural realities with complex global processes. <br />
<br />
Use of biocultural methods and tools involve communities from around the world in the assessment of climate change and local well-being and the development of evidence-based responses for climate change adaptation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of the territories of Original Nations are being threatened by development programs (mining, deforestation, urban sprawl, fossil fuel companies and the like). Original Peoples in the Amazon like the Huni Kui, Sapara, Quichuas, among others are being threatened by oil companies, mining and deforestation activities. The same happens in the Congo Basin and among the Otomi, Mazahua and Mexica- Nahua in Central Mexico. <br />
|-<br />
|18. Is transhumanism an element of environmental justice?<br />
|Transhumanism is a social and philosophical movement devoted to promoting the research and development of robust human-enhancement technologies. Such technologies would augment or increase human sensory reception, emotive ability, or cognitive capacity as well as radically improve human health and extend human life spans.<br />
<br />
From the indigenous perspective, transhumanism is contrary to the natural life cycles and should be seen as environmental injustice not as environmental justice. This is based on the notion that human species are the dominant species on earth. From the perspective of indegenous communities, Artificial Intelligence should be in service of protecting the whole life systems, not just to the human species. <br />

<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />

'''[WHEN]''' On ['''DATE'''], 2021, ['''WHO'''] community members from [your community] will contribute to the world’s first global citizens’ assembly ['''WHY'''] to guide world leaders on how to respond to the climate and ecological crisis. <br />
<br />
'''[WHAT] Add more detail, e.g.'''<br />
<br />
Participants of our Community Assembly will be considering the question “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?” Our feedback will contribute to a report to world leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the lead up to the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Global Assembly is bringing together a group of 100 people representing a snapshot of the population of the planet to learn about the climate and ecological crisis, to deliberate and share their key messages to be presented at COP26. This gathering of 100 people is called the Core Assembly. In parallel with the Core Assembly, people are invited to participate in community assemblies that anyone can run and be part of. <br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />
#Send a press release to local media<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />

====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />

====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />

<br />
Participants of our Community Assembly will be considering the question “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?” Our feedback will contribute to a report to world leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the lead up to the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Global Assembly is bringing together a group of 100 people representing a snapshot of the population of the planet to learn about the climate and ecological crisis, to deliberate and share their key messages to be presented at COP26. This gathering of 100 people is called the Core Assembly. In parallel with the Core Assembly, people are invited to participate in community assemblies that anyone can run and be part of. <br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />
#Send a press release to local media<br />
#Share your stories, images and video on social media using '''<span style="color:#1155cc"><u>#GlobalAssembly</u> <u>#CocreateOurFuture</u>.</span>'''<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

In the lead up to the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Global Assembly is bringing together a group of 100 people representing a snapshot of the population of the planet to learn about the climate and ecological crisis, to deliberate and share their key messages to be presented at COP26. This gathering of 100 people is called the Core Assembly. In parallel with the Core Assembly, people are invited to participate in community assemblies that anyone can run and be part of. <br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />

Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />
#Send a press release to local media<br />

<br />
In the lead up to the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Global Assembly is bringing together a group of 100 people representing a snapshot of the population of the planet to learn about the climate and ecological crisis, to deliberate and share their key messages to be presented at COP26. This gathering of 100 people is called the Core Assembly. In parallel with the Core Assembly, people are invited to participate in community assemblies that anyone can run and be part of. <br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for running a Community Assembly as part of the world’s first Global Assembly. The aim of the Global Assembly is to support citizens from around the world to learn and discuss the climate and ecological crisis and to provide guiding principles for climate action to world leaders. This toolkit gives you everything you need for your Community Assembly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each Assembly will deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”. <br />
<br />
Community Assemblies that feedback by January 1st 2022 will inform the final report of the Global Assembly. You can find out more about the Global Assembly at '''[https://globalassembly.org Global Assembly]'''<br />
==<big>What is a Community Assembly?</big>==<br />
The 2021 Global Assembly consists of a 100-person Core Citizens’ Assembly (representing a snapshot of the population of the planet) and Community Assemblies that anyone can run anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A citizens’ assembly is a group of people from different walks of life, who come together to learn about a certain topic, to discuss possible action and make recommendations to governments and leaders.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Around the time of the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Core and Community Assemblies will learn about and discuss the climate and ecological crisis. The Core Assembly will present their key messages at COP26, and the feedback from both Core and Community Assemblies will form a report that will be delivered to world leaders in March 2022. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Your Community Assembly can be run over 3 to 8 hours, or longer if you wish. Briefly, this is how they work:'''<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 01:</big>''' You bring together a group of people to form the ‘Community Assembly’<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 02:</big>''' You learn together about the climate and ecological crisis<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 03:</big>''' You deliberate on the following question: “How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”<br />
*'''<big style="color:#8EA9B6">Step 04:</big>''' You share your Community Assembly’s key messages, which will inform the Global Assembly’s report.<br />
<br />
==<big>How to organise your Community Assembly</big>==<br />
'''Running your Community Assembly means planning, running the event and sharing your results.''' <br />
<br />
#'''<big>Make your plan</big>''' Register your event; get the free resources; decide your assembly’s length and location; find people to help you; invite participants, and spread the word.<br />
#'''<big>Run the Assembly:</big>''' Check out the tips and tools for setting up, running and facilitating your assembly, online or in person.<br />
#'''<big>Share your results:</big>''' Use the template tools to gather and upload your information, so it can be included in the final report.<br />
<br />
== <big>Planning your Assembly</big>==<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">01</span> Register your assembly</big>===<br />
Register your assembly at [https://globalassembly.org/register globalassembly.org/register], so we know it's happening and can offer you support and updates.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">02</span> Choose your assembly length</big>===<br />
You can design your own assembly timeframe or use the template plans for 3-hour and 8-hour assemblies. See the Assembly session plans in section 6. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you’d like to mirror the Core Assembly process and run a 10-day Community Assembly, please email us at[Mailto:community@globalassembly.org community@globalassembly.org]<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">03</span> Decide when and where to have your assembly</big>===<br />
'''Online or in person?''' Will you run your Community Assembly online, in person, or a hybrid of the two? If online, will anyone be excluded due to interrupted electricity or internet access? Be mindful that hybrid events are a little more complex, so will need extra planning. <br />
<br />
'''Date and time.''' Try to avoid cultural holidays. Pick dates/times when the greatest number and diversity of people will be able to participate. Be mindful that many can not afford to take time off work and some will have childcare responsibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Choose your online platform or your local venue.''' If you are running an online Assembly, use a platform that is likely to be familiar to the people in your area. If you are using a physical space, either outdoors or indoors, it should be clean, comfortable, welcoming, appropriate in size, and easily accessible to all participants. Is it possible to secure a free space?<br />
<br />
==== <big>Things to remember if you run your assembly online</big> ====<br />
'''Enable live text and video chat.''' We have found some of the best input from online events comes in via the chat. Don’t forget to save the chat before you close the meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Make it engaging.''' Consider using interactive online tools, such as collaborative white boards, Q&A features, and break-out rooms for discussions.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Prepare to troubleshoot in case there are any technical difficulties with your video or audio.''' Can you switch over to a different platform and continue the event as planned? Do you have a tech-smart person who can troubleshoot in the moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Do a dry run''' of the process to iron out any issues.<br />
<br />
====<big>Safety and accessibility</big>====<br />
<br />
'''Be mindful of local COVID-19 regulations.''' If you choose an indoor meeting, can people distance themselves appropriately? Should you require them to wear masks? Is there adequate ventilation?<br />
<br />
'''Find out if your participants have any particular needs.''' For example, there may be disabilities you need to adapt your Assembly for.<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">04</span> Recruit participants</big>===<br />
'''Ensure diversity.''' Invite participants who are diverse in age, gender and education level, and try to recruit people from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Reach out to members of groups who tend to experience discrimination. <br />
<br />
'''Create a way for people to register''' for your Assembly. If online, send a calendar invitation with instructions for how to join; if you are holding a physical event and think some people don’t have the internet or aren’t comfortable using it, create an in-person way to sign up.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Remind registrants your event is happening.''' We suggest doing so one week and then again one day before the event. <br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">05</span> Prepare your event well in advance</big>===<br />
<br />
====<big>Get the learning resources</big>====<br />
There are a range of resources to support the learning and deliberation journey of the participants in your Community Assembly. <br />
<br />
*The '''[https://globalassembly.org/resources information booklet]''' is an introduction to some of the most important themes related to the climate and ecological crisis. To create this booklet, a committee of experts and leaders contributed their knowledge. They included: climate and biodiversity scientists, indigenous wisdom keepers, environmental economists and many more.<br />
<br />
* Contextualisation of this information booklet and translation in several languages are available on the '''[[Welcome|Global Assembly Wiki]]. '''<br />
<br />
*Find other resources like videos, presentations and the stories of people's experiences of climate change at [https://globalassembly.org/resources globalassembly.org/resources].<br />
<br />
====<big>Find people to help you</big>====<br />
Recruit a team to help host your event. Do you have volunteers you can ask? The key roles you will need are:<br />
<br />
'''<big>A notetaker.</big>''' Someone with good listening and writing skills to write down participants’ ideas, opinions and reflections accurately.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''<big>A facilitator.</big>''' A sensitive listener and an engaging speaker. They should be good at time-keeping and comfortable with your technology, if you are holding an online event. Here are some facilitation tips:<br />
<br />
#Listen more than you talk<br />
#Ask questions to invite contributions<br />
#Encourage respect so every participant feels able to share their ideas<br />
#Make sure the quietest members of the group are heard<br />
# Be sensitive to the emotions that may arise when talking about hopes and fears<br />
# It is also okay for participants to agree to disagree<br />
#Close each activity by summing up the exchanges<br />
#Be flexible and ready to adapt the session plan if necessary<br />
#Have fun. A sense of humour always makes things work more smoothly<br />
<br />
===<big><span style="color:#8EA9B6">06</span> Tell people about your assembly</big>===<br />
Inspire people around the world by sharing stories about your event.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''[WHEN]''' On ['''DATE'''], 2021, ['''WHO'''] community members from [your community] will contribute to the world’s first global citizens’ assembly ['''WHY'''] to guide world leaders on how to respond to the climate and ecological crisis. <br />

<br />
In the lead up to the UN Climate Conference COP26, which will take place in Glasgow (UK) in November 2021, the Global Assembly is bringing together a group of 100 people representing a snapshot of the population of the planet to learn about the climate and ecological crisis, to deliberate and share their key messages to be presented at COP26. This gathering of 100 people is called the Core Assembly. In parallel with the Core Assembly, people are invited to participate in community assemblies that anyone can run and be part of. <br />

==<big>The Global Assembly’s Values</big>==<br />
<br />
#'''We build new decision-making infrastructure''' - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.<br />
# '''We trust in people -''' We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.<br />
#'''We build empathy between people -''' We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.<br />
#'''We focus on the means, not the ends -''' We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.<br />
# '''We recognize our biases -''' We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.<br />
#'''We emphasize learning in practice -''' We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.<br />
#'''We are open''' - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.<br />
# '''We are independent -''' We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.<br />
