About the Climate Fresk

The Climate Fresk is a globally acclaimed educational workshop that originated in France after COP21. It turns the complexities of climate science into a simple, engaging, and accessible format using a gamified, card-based approach. Built on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports—the same reports that guide global conferences like COP29—this workshop is ideal for everyone, from beginners to climate gurus.

What does a giant Climate Fresk look like?
