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.
A print-friendly version of the five types of action is available below, as they are divided into two pages in the guidance document. The overview should be viewed in the context of the guidance document.
This report provides some excellent guidance on how to support participants in this vital work.
The Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA) aims to improve the commissioning, design, implementation and impact of climate assemblies, using evidence, knowledge exchange and dialogue. We are an active community of policy makers, practitioners, activists, researchers and other actors with experience and interest in climate assemblies who co-create activities and knowledge.
