The Global Citizens’ Assembly Network (GloCAN) is a research collective that generates actionable insights to inform the governance, design, implementation, and evaluation of global citizens’ assemblies.
The Network was founded in 2023, after the launch of the evaluation report of the world’s first Global Assembly on the Climate and Ecological Emergency. In that report, the authors put forward critical insights about what worked, what did not, and what can be improved in future assemblies. GloCAN rises to the challenge of putting forward insights based on rigorous and collaborative research that can support policymakers, funders, process designers, advocates, and the wider community of practice that are organising, or plan to organise, global citizens’ assemblies.
