Practical Guidance

KNOCA is co-creating practical guidance on key aspects of climate assembly practice. Quick Reads are short summaries with best-practice recommendations on key areas for commissioners, organisers and advocates. Guidance Documents are longer and more detailed recommendations from which Quick Reads are drawn.

Quick Reads

Follow-Up to Climate Assemblies

The follow-up process is a critical element of climate assemblies. It must not be an afterthought. The time and energy that citizens invest alongside the resources and effort from the commissioning authority and organisers needs to be matched by a carefully structured follow-up process.

Setting the Remit for Climate Assemblies

The remit for a climate assembly should be timely and relevant for citizens and policymakers, fit with the local context of climate politics, be accepted by most stakeholders, and consider the implications for delivery of the assembly given the constraints of time and money.

Governance of Climate Assemblies

Organisers of climate assemblies face the challenge of balancing the different agendas within society so that the process is seen as legitimate. This means arranging the governance of the assembly in ways that ensure that different interests recognise the integrity of the process.
