Sweden’s first national citizen assembly on climate will kick off in March 2024. Citizen assemblies on climate have previously been conducted in, among others, France, Denmark, and Finland, but never in Sweden. Hopefully, the citizen assembly will contribute to a better discussion of climate issues which oftentimes tend to get stuck in partisan politics or tend to be so technically complicated that only the most versed can contribute. The citizen assembly on climate is part of the research programme Fairtrans which aims to promote transformations to a fair and fossil-free future through cooperation between research and civil society. The project is a collaboration between Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, University of Gävle, Uppsala University, Lund University, and IVL, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute.
