About Climate Fresk

The Climate Fresk NGO has been working to bring people and organisations on board with the climate transition since the end of 2018. They do this by enabling the rapid growth of climate education and shared understanding of the challenge that climate change represents.

Climate Fresk workshops teach participants how climate change works and empower them to take effective action as a citizen. Since its inception, their workshops have had over 800,000 participants in 50 countries, and taught in 45 languages. 

It’s scientific: The facts in Climate Fresk are sourced from the most respected scientific publications: the IPCC reports. These are the same reports that inform global political and economic decision-making at the highest level. Climate Fresk is neutral and objective and presents only established scientific facts.

It’s accessible: The Climate Fresk methodology doesn’t involve an expert presenting information to the group ; instead, it requires all participants to take an active role in the building-up of the Fresk, becoming participative learners. As participants link the causes and effects of climate change, they are able to take a step back and understand the systemic nature of the challenges.

It’s effective: Through a shared understanding of the mechanisms at work, Climate Fresk enables both individuals and organisations to have an open and positive conversation about climate solutions. Participants leave the workshop having formed a strong bond with each other, and are well equipped to implement the climate actions that they have identified.
