Launching new KNOCA guidance – Supporting Members After the Climate Assembly Ends: How to Nurture Action.

When climate assemblies and juries end, many members feel empowered by the experience. But support is rarely in place for them to take action. This is a missed opportunity to enhance impact.

‍

The KNOCA Guidance Supporting Members After the Climate Assembly Ends: How to Nurture Action aims to help commissioners, organisers and funders to consider how structured support can become part of the climate assembly process in ways that can amplify climate action, foster inclusivity and maintain the momentum of assembly recommendations.

‍

Post-assembly actions include advocating for assembly recommendations, holding stakeholders accountable, and individual or collective climate action. Without support, post-assembly actions risks being dominated by those members with greater social capital, reinforcing inequalities. A lack of planning and resources can lead to disorganised efforts, disenchantment, or tensions within self-organised groups.

At this launch event, you'll hear from co-authors Pete Bryant and Morten Friis who will introduce how different types of action that can flow from assemblies can be supported.

This is your chance to:

- Consider the value and importance of supporting members once an assembly ends

- Learn about the different types of actions that members have taken post-assembly

- Reflect on the different types of support that need to be put in place to ensure post-assembly actions are effective and equitable
