Citizens’ assemblies are deliberative communities made up of randomly selected members of the wider community with the aim of discussing issues of public concern. This paper, written by Dániel Oross, Eszter Mátyás and Sergiu Gherghina, analyses the background and the context of the Budapest Climate Assembly, an initiative that is unique not only in Hungary but also in the Central and Eastern European region.
