We need to talk about it

The 26,000 Climate Conversations campaign encourages conversations ahead of the UN conference in Glasgow (COP26) in November.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced, yet many people never talk about it. We invite you to initiate a conversation with a friend, family member, or colleague, for 2 minutes or 2 hours! The more people speak about climate change, the more people we have educated, engaged, and working towards a better future.

You can find out more on the FAQs page  and get ideas for additional conversation starters.

About the campaign

This campaign was created entirely by students and recent graduates of the Oxford University School of Geography and the Environment at Oxford.

We built the website, but the campaign is powered by you!

As Oxford postgraduate students, we are delighted that university staff are supporting our student-founded climate conversations campaign. The climate crisis affects us all, and everyone should have a chance to make their voices heard. You don't need to be a climate expert – each of us can make a difference by speaking up and engaging our friends, families, and colleagues in conversations about climate action.
