Workshop on Revisiting the Impact of the Convention Citoyenne pour le Climat

‍

‍

Five years ago this Autumn, the French Citizens’ Convention for the Climate began its work. The Convention was aground-breaking initiative that has shaped the last five years of climate assembly practice across Europe and beyond. The impact of the Convention continues to be contested.

‍

Five years is a good time-period to reflecton that impact. The European Climate Foundation and KNOCA have commissioned three reports on different aspects of the impact of Convention to inform the ongoing debate:

• The policy impact of the recommendations of the Convention by Alina Averchencova, Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, LSE
• Understanding the impact of the Convention: a review of existing research by Claire Mellier, Knowledge and Practice Lead, Iswe and Selma Tilikete, Doctoral Student at the University of Paris 8
• Impact and social engagement with the digital media coverage of climate citizens’ assemblies Jose Luis Fernandez-Martinez, Assistant Professor at the University of Malaga, and Coco Bates, MA (Hons.)

Find the drafts of the forthcoming briefings above. All drafts has a short "Key findings" section at the beginning.

‍

At the workshop we were joined by authors of the three forthcoming Briefings Alina Averchenkova, Claire Mellier, Selma Tilikete, José Luis Fernández-Martínez, and Coco Bates. They presented key findings from the different reports and participated in breakout room disucssions. The workshop explored a lot of information from the three studies on the French Convention and opened up for the debate on impact based on the evidence that is important to have and continue i relation to design of furture assemblies.
