Creating spaces for connection, climate resilience, and action in Gainesville, FL.
As Florida experiences intensifying climate impacts, Climate Cafe GNV brings people together to process what is happening, strengthen relationships, and connect to meaningful ways of responding.
It doesn't take an expert to see that climate change is affecting daily life across Florida. We're already living with stronger hurricanes, hotter summers, and rising insurance costs. The impacts extend from infrastructure and ecosystems to our conversations, relationships, and sense of the future.
We believe communities are better equipped to face climate challenges when people know one another, care for one another, and have meaningful ways to contribute. In a warming world, one of the most powerful things we can do is deepen our connection to ourselves, one another, and the places we love.
Climate Cafe GNV brings people together to reflect on this moment in history, form friendships, and support each other and the places we love.
However climate change is showing up in your life, you don't have to navigate it alone.
