Fostering climate connections in Lisbon

More people are concerned about the impacts of climate change, but also increasingly face inertia, uncertainty and anxiety around what can be done or where to start.

We believe that fostering a community, whereby anyone is able to find like-minded people, can alleviate this struggle and be a key driver for citizen climate action.

We have also observed the different actors involved and interested in climate change - researchers, activists, tech people, public policy makers, corporate employees, NGO
workers, among others - who interact within their own networks but are isolated from the broader climate community.

We think that this is partly because there is usually not a consolidated and dedicated local space for people involved in the climate space to come together and network. Cross-collaboration across people and sectors is key for driving change, and our community helps to bring all these different actors together.

Some principles we follow

01

We’re ridiculously optimistic.

About climate change and about the impact we can have as a community on our local context.

02

We’re open to everyone.

All of us can positively contribute to tackling climate change in different ways; we want everyone on our side.

03

We default to collaboration.

We are always open to work with anyone coming to us in good faith, but we ultimately respond to the community.

04

We always enjoy the ride.

We do things because they’re important, but also because they’re motivating and fun.

Meet the awesome team behind Climate Circle.
We're building our circles to provide the first space in Lisbon for those interested in taking climate action at a local level to meet.

Climate change is humanity's biggest challenge, so it requires the breaking of silos and involvement of everyone across sectors in the solutions.
