The Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA) aims to improve the commissioning, design, implementation and impact of climate assemblies, using evidence, knowledge exchange and dialogue. We are an active community of policy makers, practitioners, activists, researchers and other actors with experience and interest in climate assemblies who co-create activities and knowledge.
Call for papers for journal special issue
Stephen Elstub and Oliver Escobar, two well-known members of the KNOCA community, are editing a special issue of the journal Environmental Science & Policy on the theme “Citizens’ Assemblies in Climate Governance: An Analysis of Barriers and Enablers for Change”. They are particularly interested in papers that focus on climate assemblies (or related processes such as citizens’ juries and panels, consensus conferences, etc.) that meet one or more of these three criteria:
- Taking place in supranational governance (e.g. EU) or transnational contexts (e.g. regions encompassing several countries)
- Organised by indigenous peoples or taking place in contexts where indigenous representation, values, and knowledge are crucial
- Organised in informal (i.e. non-institutional) contexts or as part of agonistic social movements
If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, submit a paper title and 300 word abstract with a brief author(s) bio, by the 15th January 2024, to Stephen Elstub at [email protected]
