At CSIL, we recognise the importance of deepening our understanding of climate change and its implications for our work and daily lives. To foster awareness, collaboration, and action, we recently organised five Climate Fresk workshops, engaging our teams in an interactive experience that connects scientific knowledge with real-world impact.
The Climate Fresk is a globally recognised, science-based workshop that helps participants explore the causes and consequences of climate change through an interactive card-based methodology. Using knowledge from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), participants work together to build a visual representation of the complex relationships driving climate change, gaining a deeper awareness of environmental challenges.
Under the guidance of our colleague Louis Colnot, a Climate Fresk facilitator, these sessions provided a unique opportunity to enhance our collective understanding of sustainability issues while reinforcing teamwork and critical thinking. By discussing real-world implications and reflecting on our professional and personal roles in addressing climate challenges, CSIL team members were able to translate awareness into action.
Beyond its value in fostering environmental consciousness, Climate Fresk also serves as a powerful team-building tool, encouraging open discussion, collaboration, and problem-solving. Bringing together participants from different teams at CSIL, the workshops promoted cross-disciplinary exchange and strengthened internal cohesion, aligning with CSIL’s commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
Our engagement with Climate Fresk is part of a broader commitment to keeping climate awareness at the heart of our work. In recent months, our Reading Society meetings have sparked discussions on climate-related topics, enriching our perspective and reinforcing our dedication to sustainability. These workshops are another step forward in making environmental responsibility a practical and ongoing effort at CSIL.
