Briar first attended one of Climate Club’s public Climate Fresk workshops out of personal interest. The workshop gave her a clearer, more connected understanding of how climate change ties to our organisation and personal actions —and got her thinking about how useful it could be for climate communication.
After that initial experience, Briar became a facilitator, bringing the Climate Fresk into a government context. Feedback from participants was thoughtful and encouraging:
- “I feel more empowered to encourage others to learn more about global warming and its causes/impacts.”
- “Greater understanding of what I had a basic knowledge of.”
- “Enthusiasm to get involved.”
Now trained as a Climate Fresk facilitator, Briar is bringing climate education into everyday conversations and planning.
“Attending the Climate Club’s public Climate Fresk workshop gave me a fresh, comprehensive perspective on the interconnectedness of climate change and helped me see the urgency of action in a completely different light,” says Briar. “There’s no other tool out there that gives executives an overview of how climate change works and a practical sense of urgency around taking action, so effectively, in such a short time, all in a fun, engaging game format.”

3 Benefits of Climate Fresk for Local and Central Government Teams
1. A Fast, Effective Way to Build Climate Understanding
The workshop offers a practical overview of climate science in just a few hours—great for busy council or government teams.
2. Encourages Leadership Action
Rather than staying theoretical, it helps leaders connect the dots to their own roles and responsibilities.
3. Supports Ongoing Internal Training
With trained facilitators, organisations can continue building internal climate capability over time, not just as a one-off.
If your local government, council, or government agency is exploring ways to build internal climate capability, we’d love to talk. Climate education is a great place to start—and Climate Fresk is a powerful tool to get things moving.
