Would you like to shape the much-needed Swiss societal transition towards an inclusive biodiverse society meeting all human needs within the Planetary Boundaries? Participate in co-creating a new democratic instrument and process needed to build any sustainable future? Join our first Academic Citizens’ Assembly, which will be prototyped on Friday 04.06.2021, online 09:00-17:30.

Together, we'll develop policy recommendations to (1) Rapidly decarbonize our energy system, (2) Transform the way we grow and eat food to make it good and healthy for humans and ecosystems. All science-based, morally just, and socially inclusive.

Beyond policy recommendations, you’ll participate in building a future governance instrument, which could make direct democracy much more effective and inclusive - perhaps the first universally inclusive deliberative democracy.
