Abstract

Building on the proof of concept that was the 2021 Global Assembly on the Climate and Ecological Crisis, we explore an expanded and even institutionalized role for effective and consequential citizen deliberation in global climate governance. Such an expanded role could not just strengthen citizen voices in negotiations, but also counter vested interests, promote civic learning, enhance the legitimacy of governance, foster global solidarity, and generate reflective input to galvanize policies.
