Promesse (e limiti) delle assemblee cittadine per il clima di livello nazionale

This chapter assesses the promises and limits of national citizens' assemblies on climate change as correctives to the short-termism of representative democracy in the Anthropocene. After distinguishing participatory from deliberative democracy, it offers a five-year assessment of the French Convention Citoyenne pour le Climat and its "sans filtre" promise, and examines the Irish deliberative tradition and the path towards constitutionalising the rights of nature. It concludes that such assemblies can achieve significant impact only if adequately institutionalised, fostering a shift from reactive, litigation-driven climate governance to proactive and anticipatory models.
