In the last 10 years, hundreds of people and organisations have been part of our journey towards supporting frontline communities and amplifying their voices for climate justice. We couldn’t have done it without all of the wonderful volunteers, donors, supporters, partners and friends of Climates and we want to celebrate this milestone with old and new friends.

Join us to celebrate with live music, Pacifika performances, inspiring climate stories, food and drinks and a chance to connect with a long-standing community, celebratory vibes and a good time.
