How can we use citizens' assemblies to shape climate policy?👥

New CAST Briefing: "Using citizens’ assemblies to shape climate policy: A summary of
current thinking for policymakers and practitioners", led by Prof Irene Lorenzoni.

Key messages thread 🧵

Read the briefing: cast.ac.uk/wp-content/u...
The cover page of a briefing document titled “CAST BRIEFING 43 – November 2025” from the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations. The top section features a photo of several people seated in a discussion setting, suggesting a group conversation or assembly. Below the image, the heading reads: “Using citizens’ assemblies to shape climate policy: A summary of current thinking for policymakers and practitioners.” The main content area contains a box labelled “Key messages” with bullet points. At the bottom, the CAST logo and description appear: CAST is a global hub for understanding how people can act on climate change, hosted by Cardiff University and partners.

A recent report reveals both UK MPs and the public greatly misjudge the timeframe for #ClimateAction. Few are aware the IPCC indicates emissions must peak by 2025 to keep warming at 1.5°C. Learn more about the study ⬇️ tyndall.ac.uk/news/mps-and...
MPs and public overestimate time left for climate action, study finds - Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research
A new study has found that UK Members of Parliament (MPs) and the public overestimated the time left to meet a critical deadline for limiting global warming.
