London – People around the world will have a chance to deliberate about responses to climate change under plans to convene a “Global Citizens’ Assembly” to inform U.N. talks in Glasgow next year, organisers said on Thursday.

The project aims to build on similar initiatives in countries such as Ireland, France and Canada, where citizens’ assemblies have given politicians space to act by generating ambitious proposals on divisive issues.

“Young people are not just frustrated by rising temperatures and declining ecosystems. We’re also frustrated by the constant recycling of outdated political solutions,” said Susan Nakyung Lee, 19, a South Korean student working on the project.
