The Climate Repair Café
Youth Education Sessions
Platform
Our future will soon be in their hands.
So let's share the knowledge and tools needed to make positive change to our climate and planet.
Equipping youth with the knowledge and tools to navigate an uncertain climate future.
Presented in clear accessible language, the series covers how a stable climate began to rapidly change to where we are now. What does the climate future hold? And what are our options to restore the climate?
The Climate Learning Sessions are 13 short video sequences with animated graphs and data, discussion slides, and explanatory links to climate projects and organizations. All these are guided by young, informed, vibrant presenters.
Multiple short videos
Easy to understand data brought to life
Video content
broken down for group discussion
Global climate issues, discussed at local levels
All held together by vibrant, knowledgeable
presenters
WE ALL DESERVE A PLACE AT THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING THE FUTURE OF OUR CLIMATE AND PLANET
Structure
The video sessions are recorded on location with some of the world's top climate scientists, writers, artists, political leaders, indigenous bridge-builders, and activists.
The program has 13 half-hour sessions, taking the audience on a journey of curiosity, strategy, possibility, and problem-solving. The sessions start from the basics of why a stable climate actually matters, to possible actions that can change humanity's road into the future.
The issues are global - but all have local relevance. They encourage direct engagement with meaningful local projects which can help stabilize the climate, the planet, and their communities.
