Our work and impact

We know what needs to be done to address climate change effectively. Across the world, policies, technologies and practical solutions already exist, but without stronger public momentum and political will, dangerous warming will accelerate.

Seventy-four percent of people in Australia want our leaders to take stronger action on climate change. But many of us underestimate how many others share our concerns. We assume we’re in the minority, and that silence holds us back.

When politicians underestimate public support for climate action, their ambition suffers — even as the consequences of climate change become more and more obvious.

Climate for Change is here to help bring Australians together in conversation, transform concern into action, and build the climate for change necessary to create a safer future.

Our approach

Founded in 2014, we're Australia's first environmental organisation focused on helping people to have conversations about climate change with their peers. Our approach is based on social research that explains that people process information best through conversations with people they trust. This is how we make sense of information, make decisions, and take actions. This is how social change happens.

Our vision

Our vision is an Australia in which climate action is a top priority. Community, business and government unite to make the courageous and urgent changes needed to return a safe climate.

Imagine an Australia where...

Effective climate action is embedded into all societal, cultural and economic structures. It is an essential factor in all decision-making.
Communities, businesses and governments of all levels are united around enabling conditions that will return temperatures to pre-industrial levels and for all life on earth to flourish.
We collaborate and work constructively together regardless of geographical boundaries, demographics or political differences.

Our Programs

Climate Conversations

Our flagship program, Climate Conversations, facilitates discussions about climate change in people’s homes and workplaces, among friends and colleagues. This model of engagement is unique within the climate movement and has proven extraordinarily effective in engaging new audiences through deep, transformative conversations within trusted networks.

Effective Climate Conversations training

Our Effective Climate Conversations workshop gives you the skills and confidence to have better climate conversations. You'll learn to navigate tricky topics, share your climate story, and turn everyday chats into opportunities for change. New to climate conversations or looking to sharpen your skills? Our workshops and online modules meet you where you are.

Climate Action Clubs

Our Climate Action Clubs connect you with a like-minded community and provide the practical support and resources you need to take meaningful action. This could include moving money out of fossil fuels, writing to politicians, or building community power. Through collective action, participants move from apathy and despair to hope, agency and determination. All you need is a laptop and a couple of hours.

Join an online session, start a local club, or connect with an existing group near you.
