Climate Café Network

A Climate Café® is a community led, informal, inspiring space to drink, chat and act.

A Cup of Tea and the State of the World

This project started in 2015 in rural Scotland with a simple idea: what if people could just come together, over a cup of tea or coffee, to talk honestly about climate change? No experts at the front. No agenda to push. Just a space to drink, chat, and act.

That idea has since grown into a global network of community-led Climate Cafés® — in workplaces, schools, campuses, and living rooms across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Every Café is unique. But they all share the same ethos: informal, inclusive, welcoming, and community-led. No pressure. No performance. Just people, in conversation, about something that matters.

We believe that talking about how we feel is not separate from taking action — it is where action begins. And we believe that connection, even over a simple cup of tea, changes things.

Additional Details

  • When people are finally given a safe space to talk about climate — not just the facts, but the fear, the grief, the hope — something shifts. What becomes possible when that kind of conversation is happening in every community, everywhere?
