From local events to international meetups across the world, climate assemblies are becoming all the more common and pressing. Child Rights International Network, Youth Environment Europe and the Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies are coming together to host a webinar that highlights the impact of children and young people in these spaces.

Connecting assembly members, government officials, participatory designers and facilitators – as well as researchers from local, national and global citizens’ assemblies from across the world – we’ll be discussing processes and outcomes, looking to inform and inspire anyone interested in children’s rights.

Speakers include:

Lianne Minasian, Co-Director at CRIN (Co-Moderator)
Emma Pagliarusco, Advocacy Coordinator for YEE (Co-Moderator)
Professor Graham Smith, Chair of the Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies (KNOCA)
