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