Climate Café Youth Online - AlterCOP 30 Day 4

Co-founded by The Matcha Initiative and The Transmutation Principle, AlterCOP Summits aim to keep corporate and the public informed of COP proceedings and outcomes, facilitate discourse and knowledge learning on corporate sustainability in a localised context, foster collaboration among various actors (professionals, academics, youth, NPOs, community groups, and policymakers) and inspire action.

As Australia prepares to potentially host COP31, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to open up climate dialogue to all and show that local actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change are already happening across different communities. 

Running alongside the United Nations (UN) COP30 agenda, the four-day event will foster grassroots ownership of global climate goals while amplifying local and regional engagement across Australia.

Join Psychology for a Safe Climate for Day 4 of AlterCOP 30 Australia – Thriving Together: Health in a Changing Climate

Climate Café

At our Café there is no guest speaker, no advice given, no call for action. Instead, you’ll find a supportive, facilitated conversational space for people to gather and share thoughts and feelings in response to the climate crisis. Here you can voice concerns that may not be welcomed or echoed elsewhere in your daily life. You’re invited to share with interested others how you’re really feeling at this challenging time. 

There may be laughter, there may be tears. There may be fear, there may be anger. Whatever you’re feeling is okay and valued. And it’s fine just to listen. Sharing, listening and being quiet together are all part of our Café.

This event will be run over Zoom.

Psychology for a Safe Climate (PSC) is a not‑for‑profit charity helping people and communities respond to the climate and nature crisis with strength and care. We bring together a team with expertise in psychology, mental health, community work, regenerative practices and nature connection to explore the emotional side of climate change. At the heart of our work is “care‑in‑action” – the belief that real and lasting action grows from compassion, connection, and integrity.
