Climate Café
As part of the launch of Climate, Psychology and Change, two of the book’s contributors, Gillian Broad and Rebecca Nestor of the Climate Psychology Alliance, and 2 facilitators from One Resilient Earth are delighted to offer a climate café: a simple, hospitable, empathetic space where fears and uncertainties about our climate and ecological crisis can be safely expressed.
A climate café aims to be a container that is strong enough to allow the exploration of fear, anxiety, and other emotions such as anger, helplessness, sadness, grief or depression.
We use the word ‘café’ to evoke the simple friendliness and warmth that happens when humans share food and drink together - or imagine doing so, in an online setting. Find more info and express your interest below!

In this friendly and supported setting, the circle:
focuses on feelings rather than action
temporarily sets aside questions of climate policy, climate science or climate action.
The focus of discussion is participants’ thoughts and feelings about the climate and ecological crisis. There are no guest speakers and no talks, and it is an advice-free zone. Whilst the climate and ecological crisis is usually the main focus of the café, we realise that other related preoccupations - personal, social or political - need a space to be explored. This can happen here too.
The café is open to anyone aged 18 or over who is worried about the climate and ecological crisis. There is a limit of 10 participants to enable space for everyone who wishes to speak. Please aim to arrive promptly so that the café can start on time.
