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.
KNOCA Workshop on Evaluation
This workshop was organised as a first step towards creating guidance on how to best evaluate climate assemblies.
After OECD published Evaluation Guidelines for Representative Deliberative Processes, this workshop considered whether climate-specific criteria need to be developed for evaluations of climate assemblies that complement these guidelines. The workshop drew lessons from evaluations of the French Citizens’ Convention for Climate, Scotland’s Climate Assembly and Climate Assembly UK and provided an opportunity for participants to consider what needs to be evaluated “before”, “during” and “after” climate assemblies. The learning from the workshop contributed to the drafting of KNOCA guidance on evaluation of climate assemblies that complements the OECD work. Find this in the related resources below.
