Our climate gatherings provide a creative space to consider how we might best be inspired to address the climate crisis we face. Ten years from the signing of the Paris agreement that question is more important than ever, as climate science is under attack and public attention on the issue seems to be at a low ebb.

We are starting to win the battle for a cleaner energy future but will need to win faster if we are to avoid tipping our climate system into runaway and destructive change.

Support for faster action will not come from scientific or economic arguments alone, which is why we want to focus on the cultural, philosophical and spiritual dimensions that might influence our response.

The event is open to the general public and the gathering will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel and posted here afterwards.
