Climate Fresk - Switzerland

What Climate Fresk - Switzerland does

Climate Fresk - Switzerland (legally La Fresque du Climat – Suisse) is a Swiss nonprofit association that deploys the Fresque du Climat workshop across Switzerland as a local chapter of the French association founded in Paris in 2018. The core product is a roughly three-hour, facilitator-led collaborative workshop in which participants use a card-based format to reconstruct cause-and-effect relationships drawn from IPCC scientific reports, with versions for adults, juniors, and simplified audiences. The organization has facilitated workshops for over 35,000 Swiss participants and operates within a global movement that has reached 2.3 million participants across 168 countries through 100,000+ trained volunteer facilitators.

The product portfolio has expanded beyond the original awareness-focused workshop to include Fresque du Climat 2nd Generation (Fresque 2G), a redesigned organizational format intended to convert awareness into collective action, plus a Refresh 2G retraining program for existing facilitators, a facilitator certification track, and the "Unlock the Fresk!" corporate webinar series. Delivery is in-person and online, and the methodology is differentiated more by its scientific grounding and pedagogical design than by any underlying software stack; no AI, API, SDK, or application product is offered.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-person or per-group workshop fees for enterprise and inter-company sessions (450 CHF per person for public sessions; 1,900 CHF flat for groups of 4-8 in private deployments), individual and organizational membership dues, and voluntary donations processed via Stripe. With 9 employees, the Swiss chapter operates a deliberately lean cost base, augmented by a network of volunteer facilitators and supported financially by Fondation Leenaards. Customer segments span enterprises and NGOs, schools and universities, elected officials and local authorities, and the general public, with distribution handled through self-serve online registration, direct enterprise bookings, and partner-led channels.
