Extinction Rebellion and Friends of the Earth jointly present Climate Cafe, a space to learn about environmental issues and solutions to them.
Join a different expert every month for tea, coffee, cake, and the opportunity to hear what they have to say for 30 minutes, followed by a chance to stay to chat and share ideas if you would like.
This is a welcoming space for hopeful ideas. It is open to everyone, regardless of how much you know already.
