Co-hosted with Wellcome Trust, an early champion of deliberative democracy, this session will explore how your community networks can contribute to the Mutiraõ, through Assemblis: a decentralised platform that enables local assemblies to contribute directly to global decision-making.

Hi Arild. Here is the summary of the event with access to the recording and slidedeck: bsky.app/profile/iswe...
In collaboration with @participedia.bsky.social we convened an online event that brought together over 100 participants to consider what citizen selection and recruitment could look like for the Global Citizens' Assembly for COP30 and beyond.

In our effort to summarise the contours of the debate in relation to participant selection and recruitment methodologies for the GCA, @reemaspatel.bsky.social and @clairemellier.bsky.social wrote an article highlighting the emerging themes from the event.

I recommend reading the other interviews in the series "Voices of Climate Democracy", where they explore other examples of citizens' assemblies from Columbia, Lebanon and South Africa.

It's been a journey of self and collective discovery, with many challenges along the way and opportunities to question what it means to do this work through a power sensitive lens.

It's a theme that Iñaki Goñi explores in this fantastic new paper on how STS and Deliberative democracy should talk more: www.nature.com/articles/s41... - exploring how for some "digital technologies promise to close the gap between careful deliberation and mass participation"
