Rsa Events

As the world faces the critical issues of Covid-19, climate emergency and political disquiet, what are the novel democratic approaches we can deploy to tackle these acute and existential challenges? How can a more ‘active democracy’ break political deadlock, build civic trust and drive transformative collaboration between government, civil society and communities? One month on from Climate Assembly UK’s reported recommendations and with the US election looming, RSA chief executive Matthew Taylor is joined in conversation with OECD policy analyst Claudia Chwalisz, chief executive of Reboot Panthea Lee and professor of politics Graham Smith to explore practical strategies for long-term change. This event marks the London launch of the OECD report on innovative citizen participation and new democratic institutions: Catching the Deliberative Wave. Read the report here. This podcast contains references to a presentation given here.#RSAdemocracy This conversation was broadcast online on the 8th October 2020.
