Climate Fresk, a participatory workshop where groups use cards to explore the causes and impacts of climate change, will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026, in Naka Ward, Yokohama. The event is part of the All-Japan Climate Fresk, taking place at venues across Japan on November 14–15 in conjunction with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31). No prior expertise in climate science is required; the workshop aims to deepen participants’ understanding of climate change through peer dialogue.
Experienced by over 2.5 million people worldwide: a workshop for learning the connections behind climate change
Climate Fresk is a collaborative workshop developed on the basis of scientific findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). With more than 2.5 million participants worldwide, it is open to anyone regardless of age, profession, or area of expertise.
In the workshop, participants split into small groups and use cards to map out the relationships between the causes and impacts of climate change. Rather than receiving information passively, participants think together and exchange ideas, enabling them to build a systematic understanding of the complex mechanisms driving climate change. Beyond acquiring scientific knowledge, the workshop also provides an opportunity to reflect on and discuss how climate change affects our daily lives and society.

Communities across Japan gathering on the same weekend
The All-Japan Climate Fresk is organized by the Climate Fresk Japan Community and run by nonprofit volunteers with support from Ichigo Bloom and Climate Youth Japan. While Climate Fresk events in Japan have previously been held primarily in Tokyo, this marks the first time that communities from across the country will host workshops on the same weekend.
Climate change is closely intertwined with a wide range of social challenges, including energy, food, resource use, and urban planning. By sharing scientific knowledge and bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to think collectively, this workshop promises to be a meaningful opportunity to broaden the conversation around a sustainable society.
