                         "In just 3 hours, the collaborative Climate Fresk workshop teaches you the fundamental science behind climate change                                and empowers you to take action.
                         The Climate Fresk NGO has been working to bring people and organisations on board with the climate transition since the                          end of 2018. We do this by enabling the rapid growth of climate education and shared understanding of the challenge that                          ​climate change represents."
