Applications are open for the Climate Justice Training 2026 organised by Climate Reality Europe, offering people across Europe an opportunity to strengthen their understanding of climate justice and develop the practical skills needed to turn local climate concerns into meaningful community action.

The virtual programme is aimed at people who want to explore the social inequalities surrounding the climate crisis, connect with others working for a fairer future and develop their own ideas for climate justice campaigns.

About the Training

The Climate Reality Project Europe is marking 20 years of climate justice leadership and advocacy for clean, affordable and accessible energy. Through this training, participants will explore how global climate injustices are connected to issues within communities and municipalities.

The programme takes a practical approach, combining expert presentations with group discussions, reflection and collaborative activities. Participants will also have an opportunity to develop a climate justice project proposal throughout the training.

No previous campaigning experience is required. The programme is suitable for people who already have a basic understanding of climate change science and want to deepen their knowledge of climate justice and take action in their communities.

What Participants Will Learn

The six-session programme will explore a range of issues related to climate justice, including:

• The impacts of climate injustices in Europe and beyond
• Ethical and creative campaigning
• Community mapping and action for climate justice
• Approaches to transforming climate despair into hope
• Building a just energy transition
• Developing a climate justice campaign

Each session combines a presentation component, led by Climate Reality Leaders or external experts, with an interactive component involving group discussions and active participation.

Participants will also complete short assignments before each session to encourage reflection and help them develop ideas for their own climate justice work.
