About the Climate Talks

 

The Climate Talks aims share and give visibility to tangible solutions to avoid a more drastic climate crisis. We are working on raising people’s and private/public organizations’ awareness about the role they play in the welfare of the planet. We connect people to maximize the impact of initiatives and projects about climate, and promote the creation of new ones.

Second Phase (Next steps) 

 

From the collection and construction of insights, ideas and other collective actions and projects, we realized that we needed to put into practice all this rich exchange that occurred during the three editions of Climate Talks, so we decided to create a digital community, where we could concentrate all people who are engaged and interested in the climate agenda in Curitiba. This digital community will be decentralized and collaborative. The idea of ​​the digital community is to structure and engage more movements, activists, organizations to focus on both advocacy, as well as education and practical actions for the climate agenda in the city of Curitiba using all possible digital platforms.

 

The Climate talks will be an extension of this community, where through dialogues, debates that we will to build with members of the digital community together with civil society will present solutions with the perspective of all and thus focus on the decision-making processes of public actors and private, aiming to make the region of Curitiba more fair and sustainable.
