Q: What is the Rural Climate Dialogues?

The Rural Climate Dialogues is more than just a workshop, webinar, or training. It adapts a process that uses a model called the “citizen jury.” The Center for New Democratic Processes (who will be designing and facilitating this event) has conducted a series of Rural Climate Dialogues throughout the state of Minnesota. 

A citizen jury is a lot like a regular jury. Jurors will receive information from local expert testimony “witnesses” and then they will be tasked will deliberating, voting, and working together to draft a report to reflect local concerns related to extreme weather/climate change.
