Join Compass, the Rapid Transition Alliance and the Sortition Foundation on Wednesday 13th October at 6 - 7.20pm for a look at how citizens can take power and help set climate priorities.

Could citizens’ assemblies cut through the quagmire of representative politics and insert the public into the heart of political decision-making?

Or are these processes too slow – or too toothless – to trigger the shift we need?

We’ll hear about:

• Real-world examples from France, Belgian and Ireland with Brett Hennig from the Sortition Foundation
• The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill, which includes a citizens’ assembly, with Amy McDonnell from Zero Hour
• The planned Global Assembly on climate with Rich Wilson

Can citizens' assemblies bridge divides and deal with difficult complex issues? Can they be made a permanent part of the political landscape? And can they help us transition rapidly and justly to a post-carbon society?

This event is jointly organised with the Sortition Foundation. It is part of a series around COP in partnership with the Rapid Transition Alliance.
