Although most people care deeply about addressing the climate crisis, only a minority of respondents in recent surveys trust their governments to achieve a fair and just net-zero transition. One promising way to address this disconnect is through citizen… ift.tt/c4faOsH

Did you hear? I'm running for #UN Secretary-General because the system no longer works: we aren't represented, it fails to deliver on its mandate of peace, & huge challenges are going unsolved (climate etc)
Take a minute to sign & support my campaign 🇺🇳🔥 atlasmovement.org/unite4surv…
I never thought I would write this. But here it comes: I’m running for #UN Secretary-General 🇺🇳.
Because of the 30,000 killed by Israel in Gaza. Because global warming exceeded 1.5° in 2023.
We can stop this. Endorse our campaign, #Unite4survival 🗳️ unite4survival.org

Our global governance systems are falling short in addressing today's crises. But citizens’ assemblies can overcome polarisation, foster inclusion+drive solidarity. Join us to make citizen voices heard⬇️#SummitoftheFuture @SVoice2030 @PlataformaCIPO #2024UNCSC @davidlevai

Good luck to the team @JamieKelseyFry Victoria Kapadia @asifkapadia @thinkfilmimpact for the presentation about the @_GlobalAssembly documentary in Cannes next week. It's exciting work that could bring the deliberative democracy / citizens' assemblies ideas into popular culture.
Get ready for Cannes! Join us on the beach for a change-making day addressing important topics of mental health action, women in film, the future of democracy, and Roma representation. 🎥

DDP Initiative Director Henri Waisman features in this article by @guardian about how scientists feel about the future.
Henri Waisman, at the @IDDRI_English policy research institute in France, said: “I regularly face moments of despair and guilt of not managing to make things change more rapidly, and these feelings have become even stronger since I became a father. But, in these moments, two things help me: remembering how much progress has happened since I started to work on the topic in 2005 and that every tenth of a degree matters a lot – this means it is still useful to continue the fight.”

@davidlevai is pitching the idea of a global permanent citizens’ assembly at #UNCSC
I absolutely love the idea, and think it’s fundamental to have citizens’ involvement and power in all global governance structures.

Positive coverage of the #CCFV and this past weekend's events, including the announcement of a third Convention in the fall. They call #citizensassemblies Ibuprofen against political fever (as long as it's not a sleeping pill...). radiofrance.fr/franceinter/p…

In past 2 years, France profoundly recalibrated in favor of Ukraine. Macron's new posture comes from a renewed French understanding of European power and a sense of urgency to deter Russia.

The status quo isn't cutting it.
The Summit of the Future could be the opportunity to press reset on global cooperation.
A paper co-authored by Senior Fellow @davidsteven explains why this is the moment to engage everyday citizens at the UN & beyond: bit.ly/49bp5yK

Our global governance systems are struggling to address todays challenges. The 1st #GlobalCitizensAssembly told a new story of how people like Chom Chaiyabut think we should respond to the crisis and what they are doing themselves youtube.com/watch?v=35WCd_0F… 2/4
