About us
Our mission is to give everyone on earth a seat at the global governance table.
Our vision is to create a permanent global citizens’ assembly that by 2030 has over 10m annual participants, is recognised in improving our ability to tackle global issues such as climate change, health and inequality, is recognised by over 50% of the global population and is mostly funded by citizens’ donations.
The Global Assembly is a truly worldwide project involving organisations in over 50 countries.
It is supported by institutions, funders and expert committees.

The Global Assembly has been co-designed with citizens, institutions, scientists and social movements.
Most citizens’ assemblies are top-down, initiated by governments to listen to the people of their nation.
This is the opposite.
The Global Assembly has been co-designed with institutions, scientists, citizens and social movements from around the world and built entirely from the ground-up.
The Global Assembly has been founded by a world-class team of specialists
We have delivered hundreds of citizen engagement projects including World Wide Views for the Paris and Copenhagen COPs; the only project comparable to the Global Assembly ever undertaken.
We have worked with the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), many governments and foundations.

Our values
- We build new decision-making infrastructure - We believe that people need to have a seat at the global governance table. We are establishing a new decision-making body that activates and involves as many people as possible in defining and addressing the challenges we face.
- We trust in people - We believe that our common global challenges require collective global solutions. When people can access the tools to meet, connect and come up with solutions together, they can and they do.
- We build empathy between people - We believe that we make better decisions when we understand each other. When people communicate at a fundamental level beyond opinions and debate we can overcome polarisation and division and create mutual respect.
- We focus on the means, not the ends - We believe the most urgent challenge we face is not to propose solutions, but to come up with better ways of generating solutions together. We seek never to impose our own views, but create a platform for people to think, talk, listen, co-create and act together.
- We recognize our biases - We believe that our values, experiences, contexts and identities influence our behaviours and perceptions and it is by actively surfacing and recognizing them that we can best serve others.
- We emphasize learning in practice - We believe that we don’t have all the answers, so we share all our findings and mistakes so that we can learn together.
- We are open - We believe in making available all our documentation, data, source code, methods, and materials.
- We are independent - We seek to understand and engage with existing power structures, while maintaining complete independence from them. Governments, funders and institutions have absolutely no influence over the process.

Join the people involved in the Global Citizens’ Assembly to find out more about how a snapshot of the world population is being brought together to learn and deliberate on the climate and ecological crisis.
Global Assembly team members, Susan Nakyung Lee, Claire Mellier and Rich Wilson, will be joined live by citizens from across the world, who are taking part in the Global Assembly process to deliberate on the question:
“How can humanity address the climate and ecological crisis in a fair and effective way?”
The event will introduce the citizens’ proposals developed during the deliberative process in the run up to Glasgow.
It will be an opportunity to bring the lived experience of those citizens to the heart of COP26.
You will meet cultural figures from across the world who are lending their support to the initiative, including Oscar winner Sir Mark Rylance.
You will also find out how communities across the world can run their own local Community Assemblies, and how a ‘cultural wave’ will bring the Global Assembly into the lives of citizens through art and culture. There will be plenty of opportunities for interactive exchanges between the audience and the speakers.
To find out more about the Global Assembly in advance of our Green Zone event, have a look at our website, follow us on social media, and join us on November 1st to hear directly from the citizens making this initiative a reality.

... lancée officiellement début octobre, a présenté ses premières propositions pendant la COP26 de Glasgow. Parmi elles, il y a la reconnaissance de l'écocide, en écho à ce qu'avait aussi réclamé la Convention citoyenne pour le climat en France. Les 100 citoyens tirés au sort à travers le monde entier doivent travailler jusqu'à la fin de l'année pour répondre à cette question unique mais ô combien complexe : comment l’humanité peut-elle répondre aux crises climatique et écologique d’une manière juste et efficace ?

"Les citoyens doivent être au centre des discussions sur la crise climatique. Chacun d’entre nous compte, chacun a un rôle à jouer" a déclaré Vanessa Nakate, lors de la présentation de la Global Assembly, l’assemblée mondiale de citoyens sur le climat, le 1er novembre à la COP26. La militante ougandaise est devenue la porte-voix de l’Afrique avec un slogan devenu célèbre : "Le charbon ne se mange pas, le pétrole ne se boit pas." Elle a rappelé que si l’Afrique n’était responsable que de 3 % des émissions globales de gaz à effet de serre, les Africains subissent déjà les conséquences les plus violentes du changement climatique.
Et pourtant, ils ont très peu voix au chapitre. C’est pour y remédier que la Global Assembly a été imaginée, il y a deux ans, et lancée officiellement cette année. Elle regroupe 100 citoyens tirés au sort et représentatifs de la population mondiale. "La mission de cette assemblée citoyenne mondiale ait que tout le monde puisse avoir un siège à la table de gouvernance" résume Eva Sow Ebion, co-fondatrice de The Innovation for Policy Foundation, une organisation à but non lucratif spécialisée dans la démocratie participative basée à Dakar, au Sénégal.
