Bothered about climate change? Come to one of LCON’s warm and friendly climate cafes

Climate Cafés provide a supportive space in which to talk about how the climate crisis is affecting us – without pressure to act.

The cafes run monthly on both Saturdays and Sundays. They are facilitated by a growing team of local facilitators, including Karen Dauncey and Rebecca Nestor. Climate cafés are not drop-in events, and spaces are limited to 12.

LCON are delighted to be partnering with Common Ground (Little Clarendon Street) for our Sunday climate cafés, and with the North Wall Arts Centre (South Parade) for our Saturday climate cafés. There’s a Meetup group too, where they share details of upcoming cafés.

What are climate cafes?

LCON say,

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, though we don’t advise young children attending. There’s no charge. We provide the cake and we invite you to buy your own hot drink.
