Delivery and impact of Climate Assembly UK: integrating a citizens’ assembly with parliamentary work

17th February 2021

Sarah Allan The Involve Foundation

In this seminar we’ll hear from Sarah Allan, Head of Engagement at The Involve Foundation (‘Involve’). Sarah will be talking about Climate Assembly UK: the path to net zero held between January and May 2020. This first ever UK-wide citizens’ assembly on climate change was jointly commissioned by six select committees of the House of Commons. Involve led the external team which delivered it.

This interactive seminar will address the development of the assembly, how was delivered, the impact on parliament and others, and future implications. Sarah will be joined by speakers from the UK Parliament and the Climate Change Committee who were involved in different ways with the assembly’s work.
