What we’re about
The changing climate impacts us all. Yet we barely have a conversation about it in our daily lives. Other than, perhaps, talking about the weather with our neighbours.
This group will create a safe and non-judgmental environment to talk about the changing climate and planet and how it has already impacted our lives and those you know.
We intend to meet monthly - sometimes even weekly! Our chat will be themed around a topic - we will look into the impacts of climate change on our daily lives but also bring in experts to share knowledge, tools and emotional support on solutions we already have to address the climate crisis.
Our main goal is to create human connections regardless of who you are outside this group, reflect on our common or divergent experiences and views, and learn something new!
Anyone interested in better understanding climate change, biodiversity loss and their impacts on our daily lives are welcome. No specialist knowledge is required, and even if you are just curious about the topic, please join us. If you know a fair amount on the topic, please share it with us.
We invite everyone, including those with relevant expertise, to propose topics for our upcoming meet-ups. Thank you.
