Making the Most of Climate Assemblies: Playbook for Civil Society Organisations
This report aims to help Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) understand the value of Climate Assemblies and how they can develop and deliver a strategy to improve the commissioning, design, implementation and follow up to assemblies so that they have meaningful impact.
CSOs can engage with assemblies in different ways:
- Proponent and advocate for an assembly to take place
- Expert advisor as part of the assembly’s governance bodies
- Provider of evidence to the assembly
- Communicator and amplifier of the assembly
- Watchdog of the integrity of the process and the follow up by government
- Campaigner and advocate for the citizens’ recommendations
The Playbook provides an 8-stage process for CSOs to consider their role in ways that build their knowledge and confidence to act, developed from a number of interviews and workshops with climate CSOs.
This report was presented at the KNOCA Launch Event: Making the Most of Climate Assemblies – Playbook for Civil Society Organisations
