Global citizens’ assembly to be chosen for UN climate talks

100-member group will be representative of world's population and will present their findings to Cop26

One hundred people from around the world are to take part in a citizens' assembly to discuss the climate crisis over the next month, before presenting their findings at the UN Cop26 climate summit.

The Global Citizens' Assembly will be representative of the world's population, and will invite people chosen by lottery to take part in online discussions that will culminate in November, during the fortnight-long climate talks that open in Glasgow on 31 October.
