CA-WN Climate Café

Wednesday 12 November 8:00pm - 9:00pm (online)
Climate Cafes offer a safe space to share how you are feeling about climate change. There is no pressure to join in, no commitment to attend subsequent events, just conversation with like-minded people.
These monthly events are open to anyone and we are often joined by people from other parts of the UK and even other parts of the world.
