Climate Awakening

Unleashing the power of climate emotions through small group conversations

Climate Awakening was founded to convene thousands of small group conversations about our fears, grief, and rage. 

Participants have reported feeling relief, connectedness, appreciation, and empowerment. Our goal is always to help people turn their pain into action, and build power for the climate emergency movement.

We connect the climate-aware through our small group conversation tool, Climate Emotions Conversations, where those who are in pain about the climate emergency can connect, share, and learn how to have better climate conversations. Climate Emotions Conversations are partially automated and entirely volunteer run.
