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.
