Jenny Willis

Jenny lives a few miles from Kendal and is excited to be working with this local jury. She is looking forward to hearing what comes out from the discussions in Kendal and see how it relates to the deliberations of other climate change juries she has worked with in Lancaster and Leeds. All her work is about supporting people to participate in decision making on issues that affect them, from grassroots community up to national level.

Claire Mellier-Wilson

Over the last 15 years, Claire has designed and facilitated many engagement processes on environmental issues. In 2019, she helped facilitate Citizens’ Assemblies on the climate crisis and air quality in Camden and Kingston. She was also one of the facilitators at Climate Assembly UK. She is part of a group of accredited researchers observing the French Climate Change Convention.  Claire’s interest for participative democracy and sustainability emerged when studying political sciences in France in the late 1990’s. In 2004, she left France and came to the UK, where she felt there was a stronger culture of dialogue on environmental issues.
