Climate Citizens

The Climate Citizens project aims to embed public deliberation into climate & energy policy making Led by @Bankfieldbecky at @LancasterUni and working w/ @theCCCuk @EnergySysCat & others to explore new ways of engaging citizens in the #NetZero transition climatecitizens.org.uk

Lastly, we present the most supported policies derived from an analysis of the outcomes of over thirty Citizens' Assemblies and Juries held across the UK. 5/5

Based on our research, we present three high-level proposals to help achieve the cross-government Net Zero Mission, including the creation of a permanent Citizens’ Panel on climate. 4/5

💡NEW REPORT: We summarise our recent research on how the public currently feel about climate change – what action they want and what they find frustrating – and offer three priorities for policy makers that will help achieve better climate action. 1/5 climatecitizens.org.uk/new-report-pri…

In case you missed it, find below a link to our paper about the messy politics of local climate assemblies. We show how local climate assemblies are the product of politics, and we provide suggestions about how to navigate that politics successfully. researchgate.net/publication/37…
