title: Oxford Citizens' Climate Assembly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A specific citizens' assembly model piloted by the newDemocracy
|
|
Foundation and Oxford City Council, in which a stratified random sample
|
|
of residents deliberates on climate policy and reports recommendations
|
|
to council. Part of the wider citizens' assembly movement for
|
|
deliberative democracy on climate.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Recruit by sortition
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A stratified random sample of around 40 Oxford residents is recruited
|
|
to reflect the city's demographics on age, gender, ethnicity, and
|
|
deprivation.
|
|
- headline: Learn over multiple weekends
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly meets over two or more weekends, hearing from climate
|
|
experts, stakeholders, and each other, with time to question and
|
|
deliberate.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate in facilitated small groups
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Members deliberate in small facilitated groups, working through
|
|
trade-offs and drafting recommendations, with all voices
|
|
supported.
|
|
- headline: Vote on recommendations
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly votes on each recommendation. Recommendations that pass
|
|
are reported with the level of support and dissent noted.
|
|
- headline: Report and council response
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly reports to the council, which commits to respond to
|
|
each recommendation — accept, reject, or adapt — within a set time.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A representative body of residents produces considered climate
|
|
recommendations, and the council is bound to respond publicly to each.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The council's commitment to respond is what gives the assembly weight.
|
|
Without it, the assembly becomes consultation theatre. Sortition, not
|
|
self-selection, is the legitimacy. |
