Abstract

World Wide Views (WWViews) on Climate and Energy was an experiment of public deliberation which was held in 77 countries with over 10,000 global citizens on June 6, 2015. The coordinator of this project (the Danish Board of Technology with Missions Publiques and the French National Commission for Public Debate) developed the overal procedure, and local partners implemented the actual events in each country on the same day. The coordinator gathered the results of the events from all local sites in order to submit them as global citizens' voice to the COP21 negotiations at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris. This study examines the extent to which such new method of WWViews, standardized at global level to be implemented in different local contexts, achieves its quality of public deliberation (representativeness, transparency, impartial inclusion, deliberativeness, influence) by evaluating the Korean WWViews held in Seoul.

지난 6월 6일 77개국 1만여 명의 세계시민이 참여한 유엔기후변화협상에 관한 세계시민회의(World Wide Views)는 전 지구적 이슈인 기후변화 거버넌스를 위해 세계 일반시민들이 참가한 숙의형 의사결정과정의 실험이다. 기본 구조는 덴마크기술위원회(DBT)를 중심으로 한 코디네이터(이하 운영본부)가 전체 과정을 기획하고 세계 각국의 현지파트너가 각자의 지역에서 시민회의를 개최하는 것이다. 이후 운영본부에서 각국의 결과를 취합하여 보고서의 형태로 정책협상의장인 유엔기후변화협약(UNFCCC) 당사국 총회(COP21)에 전달하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 본 연구는 다양한 과학기술영역에서 실험 되어온 시민 숙의라는 정책결정 기제가 추구하는 가치들(대표성, 투명성, 공평성, 숙의성, 영향력)이 글로벌 환경에서 프레이밍 되어져 한국에서 적용된 세계시민회의 사례에서 어떻게 드러나는지 평가하고 한계와 가능성을 점검한다.
