What is a Climate Café?
Climate cafes are safe spaces for people to have open conversations about climate change and the feelings that come with it. Using prompts, they are designed to allow free-flowing discussion about climate change.
This event is being hosted by participants of the Climate Action Leadership Programme (CALP). CALP is a free programme for 18 - 35-year-olds in Scotland run by 2050 Climate Group. Applications for this year's CALP are open until midnight on 12th of August.

This event is also supported and organised with the help of volunteers from the Glasgow Autonomous Space.
This event is not a political party event.
