Welcome to our monthly climate cafes: gentle facilitated spaces where we share our feelings and thoughts about the climate crisis.

We think our Climate Cafés offer something different from the usual gatherings of people with interests in climate change. They are facilitated – so you can be sure that there will be space for you to speak. They are not designed to recruit you to do anything or to put you under any pressure. The idea behind them is that talking about climate change is really important – but it is often made more difficult by our feelings of guilt that we are not doing enough, or frustration that others are not doing enough. So we provide a space in which we don’t talk about what we or others are doing or should be doing. We just talk about climate change and how it is making us think and feel.

Everyone is welcome. There’s no charge. We provide the cake and we invite you to buy your own hot drink. Climate cafés are not drop-in events, so please try to arrive in time for the 14.30 start (though we won’t turn you away if you’re a few minutes late!).

Age limit of 16+.

This climate café is hosted by Low Carbon Oxford North.
