The assembly considered important policy options that will guide the UK’s path to net-zero green-house gas emissions. The project involved 108 randomly select citizens from across the UK come together over several weekends to learn about climate change and develop recommendations to parliament on what measures should be implemented, and how decisions should be made as part of the net-zero transition.This workshop will provide insights into the process design, and what we can learn from the citizens’ deliberations, as well as talk about the role of citizens&#x27; assemblies and deliberative democracy in the context of the climate crisis.
