MEMBERS of a Global Citizens’ Assembly presented their expectations for Cop26 at a session of the climate summit today.

Global Citizens’ Assembly hosted a panel introducing the citizens’ policy proposals developed during the deliberative process in the run-up to Cop26, including criticisms of democratic or fair process in how decisions are made around climate change at the global level. 

Assembly members, including workers from India, China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, joined the event via livestream, urging those watching to set up their own community gatherings to discuss solutions to the climate and ecological crisis.
