Global Citizens’ Assembly
From August 2025
Convener: Iswe Foundation, in collaboration with other entities
Designed to give communities around the world a voice for a sustainable future for planet Earth, the Global Citizens’ Assembly 2026 is a new initiative that builds on the lessons learned from the Global Assembly 2021 on the climate and ecological crisis.
The Global Citizen Assembly, presented at COP30 in Brazil, has four components (the 4 Cs):
– Community Assemblies that allow anyone on the planet to participate (supported by the Assemblis platform);
– Civic Assembly that is a snapshot of the global population (a Global Mini-Public), selected through a global lottery so that anyone can be selected;
– Campaign and culture to raise the assembly’s profile and influence;
– Coalition of institutions, organisations, movements and nation states which support it.
Deliberativa is contributing to the design and implementation of the Civic Assembly, which in 2026 will bring together a group of 105 citizens selected through a civic lottery specifically designed to represent the planet’s population. During the fall of 2025, the main work is focused on formulating the mandate to which the Civic Assembly will respond in 2026.
