📢 We’ve published our report Climate Assembly UK: where are we now?

📰 Read about it here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/…

As we argued last year, parliament needs to take a much more active role in debating net zero. There has been a positive change in amount of net zero scrutiny by committees this year, but scale of changes means we will need to build broad political consent

I was thrilled to be one of the scientists asked to talk to the UK net-zero Citizen's Assembly last year about how & why our climate is changing.
A documentary about the process & how it has been a life-changing experience for some participants is online: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

1 Next Tuesday we’re examining the findings of Climate Assembly UK. We're talking to members of the public who took part in Climate Assembly UK, producing a report on the path to #NetZero

We’re also hearing from Rebecca Willis David Joffe Signe Norberg & Anne-Marie Trevelyan MP

Former DECC Minister Amber Rudd tells Institute for Government Bronwen Maddox the public is mobilised on net zero and must be engaged in decision-making: 'The climate change assembly was a great thing, and we should have more of those.' #ClimateAssemblyUK #IFGNetZero #delibdem 👥🌍

RW: it has been great to see the Climate Change Committee incorporate the recommendations from the Climate Assembly UK into its evidence base.

In developing the strategy - and more importantly in implementing it - citizen engagement will be crucial. Climate Assembly UK provides a great model to follow. (16/n)

'We should see climate change not as a technical challenge, but as a social one... One of the best ways to make policy work for people is to involve them in its development, through processes like citizens’ assemblies' like Climate Assembly UK.

We totally agree👍

Recent @beisgovuk Energy White Paper highlights that Assembly Members 'identified “fairness within the UK, including for the most vulnerable” as one of the top two principles that should guide decisions around net zero. We agree.'👥👏⚖️🌍gov.uk/government/pub… #ClimateAssemblyUK
