Citizens’ climate assemblies or panels are one of the latest innovations in using public participation to address climate change. Local and national climate assemblies provide a space for citizens to learn how climate change impacts their community or country, and then develop and propose concrete actions for the government to take. National governments have organized climate assemblies in France, the United Kingdom, and Scotland. At the local level, cities like Warsaw and Wrocław, Poland and Camden, England have held climate assemblies and panels.

In this online course, participants will learn key lessons from climate assemblies in the UK, Poland, and France. Leading practitioners and advocates will share best practices and help participants identify next steps to advocate for and start a climate assembly in their home city or country.
