Hopefully next week for the meeting we will show the first draft of the programme where people can comment. So hope some people from CJA will join this process as well. Maybe it seems to be uncertain because we started to implement the assembly idea quite late.

FoE Europe and another climate and social justice group in Belgium are the other groups calling for the assembly.

Vaguely, there will be a day of workshops, some kind of demo, a message to leaders at the COP         and an attempt to define more clearly what climate justice is . We talked a bit about how CJA could engage with the event, but we obviously need more information as it becomes available. I'm waiting to talk to someone from CJA Belgium about what their role has been, or will be. I think some information is going to be sent to the list soon about what their plans are. Overall, it seemed like there was encouragement for CJA to somehow be present at the assembly, and that this would make the process 'better.'
