Climate Assembly UK brought together people from all walks of life and of all shades of opinion to discuss how the UK should reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050.
The citizens' assembly had over 100 members, who together were representative of the UK population, and they were due to meet over four weekends in Spring 2020 (the fourth weekend switched to an extended online event due to the coronavirus pandemic). They heard balanced evidence on the choices the UK faces, discussed them, and made recommendations about what the UK should do to become net zero by 2050.
