Workshop on Supporting Participants Post-Assembly

Time
© Peter Bryant

In this exploratory workshop, we looked at the potential for assembly members to advocate for change after the conclusion of a formal climate assembly. Using a range of examples from local and national deliberative processes across Europe, we explored what citizen-led action after the assembly might look like. This discussion covered various aspects, including whether assembly participants should be supported post-assembly, the nature of this support, the responsibility of organisers in this context, and the unique positioning of participants to advocate for change, as well as the risks involved.
