Climate Conversations at Sustainable Future Festival - The Entrance - Citizen COP 2026

Climate Conversations: From Concern to Local Action

As world leaders gather for COP31, Citizen COP creates space for communities to have their own climate conversations — locally, practically and together.

Join the Community Environment Network (CEN) and Narara Ecovillage for a relaxed, open conversation exploring three simple questions:

• What are you concerned about?

• What helps you stay hopeful?

• What’s one thing you’d like to do with other people?

This is not a debate or a lecture. It’s an opportunity to listen, share experiences, connect with others and discover practical local action already happening across the Central Coast.

Citizen COP is about bringing climate action closer to home — into our neighbourhoods, community groups and everyday lives.

Whether you’re deeply engaged or just starting to think about climate change, come along, share your perspective and add your voice to the conversation.

This is a free online session by Narara Ecovillage and the Community Environment Network.

About Citizen COP Australia

Citizen COP Australia is a decentralised, people-powered movement running alongside the global COPs in 2026. Enabled by People For Nature, but intentionally independent and distributed, Citizen COP invites communities, organisations, schools, businesses, artists, and local groups across Australia to host their own events during the COP period. Rather than a single central event, Citizen COP is a nationwide network of conversations, workshops, and actions that bring global climate and nature discussions into local communities. It connects people to science, solutions, and each other, strengthening civic engagement and ensuring citizen voices contribute to Australia’s climate and nature conversations.
