Projects
Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies
Prof Graham Smith has been appointed as the founding chair of the Knowledge Network on Climate Assemblies funded by the European Climate Foundation. Climate assemblies are increasingly being used in a variety of different European countries at different scales of governance to inform policy responses and social action on climate change. KNOCA aims to bring together the knowledge and expertise of policymakers, academics, and civil society actors to explore challenges in the design and application of Climate Assemblies and promote best practice for those organising and advocating for climate assemblies.
