Understanding the complexity of climate science is hard, but this workshop turns climate science into a game in which students get complete picture of the phenomenon of climate change by building cause-and-effect relationships.

Most importantly, the game allows us to see the role of humans in climate change, as well as to think about how we – humans can also solve them.

The workshop was used at the 16th UN Youth Conference on Climate Change (COY16) as well as at the COP26 in Glasgow, UK and COP28 in Dubai.

The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment hosted Climate Fresk workshop for over 1100 students and achieved two Guinness World Records: the largest climate change awareness lesson and having the highest number of nationalities attending such a lesson.
