Community Assembly Toolkit
Our step-by-step toolkit will help you plan and run a Community Assembly.
It includes tips on recruiting participants, suggested event schedules, guided activities, and more.
Information booklet
Our information booklet has been developed by world-leading, independent scientists, economists and indigenous wisdom keepers.
It explains what the climate and ecological crisis is, how it is impacting on human and non-human life, and what action could be taken.
Wiki
The Global Assembly wiki contains all of the content from the Community Assembly Toolkit and the Information Booklet.
Communities across the world have translated some of the resources into multiple languages, so as many citizens as possible can use them.
