Understanding Climate Fresk: A Powerful Workshop to Accelerate Climate Action

In the face of the climate crisis, education is one of the most powerful tools for driving meaningful action. Yet, climate science can often seem overwhelming, technical, and difficult to translate into everyday decision-making. This is where Climate Fresk comes in—a unique, engaging, and highly effective workshop that turns complex climate science into an accessible, interactive experience.

What Is Climate Fresk?

Climate Fresk is a collaborative, science-based workshop designed to help individuals and organisations understand the key mechanisms driving climate change. Created in 2018 by Cédric Ringenbach, the workshop is built around a simple yet powerful concept: participants work together to reconstruct the fundamental cause-and-effect relationships of climate change using a set of 42 illustrated cards. These cards are based on the latest findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ensuring that all information is scientifically rigorous.

The workshop’s structured yet participatory format allows groups to grasp the complexity of climate change in just a few hours, making it an ideal tool for businesses, schools, and community organisations looking to raise awareness and kickstart climate action.

Why Climate Fresk Works

Unlike traditional lectures or online courses, Climate Fresk fosters active learning and engagement through group discussion and problem-solving. Here’s what makes it so impactful:

1. Science-Based, Yet Accessible
   Participants don’t need prior knowledge of climate science—the workshop breaks it down into digestible insights, making it easy for everyone to understand the bigger picture.
2. Collaborative Learning
   By working together to build the Climate Fresk, participants engage in peer learning, which enhances retention and understanding.
3. Emotional Connection
   The process of assembling the Fresk often leads to powerful ‘aha’ moments, where participants grasp the real-life impact of climate change and feel inspired to take action.
4. Customisable for Different Audiences
   Whether you’re a corporate team, a school group, or a local community organisation, the workshop can be adapted to fit your audience’s needs and level of understanding.

Climate Fresk for Businesses: A Catalyst for Change
