A space to have artistically inspired, stimulating and perhaps even difficult conversations that help us to understand and learn from our varied perspectives about climate change and our responses to it. The People’s Assembly will be a facilitated democratic discussion picking up on themes explored in Kyoto, with short dramatic readings from David Finnigan’s Scenes from a Climate Era to inspire and provoke conversation. Scenes from a Climate Era is a play composed of short vignettes exploring the impact of climate change on all our lives, by award winning Australian playwright David Finnigan.

Lord Deben, Environment Secretary under John Major, who chaired the Climate Change Committee for over 10 years, will join the Assembly to inspire and fuel conversation about the climate emergency we face today. Is there such a thing as a democratic way to disagree? And if we really listen to one another does agreement come quicker and easier? Come prepared to listen and to share -  there will be a chance to watch and hear provocations, join breakout discussions, contribute your thoughts, listen to others and even set some of the agenda yourself on the day.

Members of the RSC's Youth Advisory Board will also be in attendance at the Assembly.
