A global citizens’ assembly to accelerate action to address the climate and ecological crisis 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; and Distributed events that can be run by anyone, anywhere in the world, designed in a way that allows them to go through the same learning journey as the core group The GA has three primary objectives: Support a group of globally representative citizens to make recommendations to COP26 and get an official response from the UN’s COP26 process (i.e. the core assembly) Support a global conversation to explore the scale of the climate emergency and how to effectively respond through distributed events to mirror and amplify the core assembly process (i.e. community level events) Support large numbers of people and organisations globally to take action on the climate emergency.
