title: Citizens' Climate Assembly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A deliberative democracy method where a representative sample of a
|
|
population, chosen by sortition (random selection), is convened to learn
|
|
about and recommend policy on a complex issue. Used increasingly for
|
|
climate policy, following models from Ireland, France, and the UK.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Select by sortition
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A representative sample of the population — typically 60 to 150 people
|
|
— is selected by random stratified sortition to reflect the
|
|
demographics of the whole.
|
|
- headline: Learn from evidence
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly hears from experts, stakeholders, and community members
|
|
across the spectrum of views, with time to question and deliberate.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate in small groups
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members deliberate in facilitated small groups, working through the
|
|
trade-offs and values at stake, with facilitators ensuring all speak.
|
|
- headline: Draft recommendations
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly drafts recommendations, voting on each. Recommendations
|
|
reflect the considered view of the body, including dissent.
|
|
- headline: Report to the polity
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly's recommendations are presented to the sponsoring
|
|
government or public, with a commitment to respond.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A representative body of ordinary citizens produces considered
|
|
recommendations on a complex issue, informed by evidence and deliberation.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The sortition is the legitimacy — it is not a self-selected panel.
|
|
Quality of facilitation determines whether all voices actually shape the
|
|
outcome. Government must commit to respond, or the assembly erodes trust. |
