What is a climate cafe?

  • An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency (i.e. a “container”).

  • A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences rather than what we are DOING about the climate crisis.

  • A quiet, reflective experience - a haven from usual busyness and activity.

  • Not designed to lead participants to any conclusion or toward action (actions can be discussed, but reflection is paramount).

  • Here is an excellent resource on what happens in a climate cafe.
