How do we become Catalysts for Change? (Online) - Citizen COP 2026

From Concern to Collective Action

In a time of climate disruption, social fragmentation and rapid change, many of us are asking the same question: what can I actually do that makes a difference?

Join FutuResilience Events’ Wendy Harper and Tanya Mottl for an interactive conversation exploring what helps people move from concern to action — and from acting alone to creating change together.

Drawing on experience in collaboration, systems thinking, the Sustainable Development Goals and Inner Development Goals, we’ll explore the mindsets and capabilities that can help us become more effective catalysts for change.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about recognising where we have influence, building our capacity to work across differences, and finding practical ways to contribute within our workplaces, communities and networks.

Come curious, bring a challenge you care about, and explore how small shifts in how we think, connect and collaborate can create wider ripples of change.

This is a free online session by FutuResilience Events

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.
