How does the Climate Fresco transform participants' ecological awareness?
In France, more than half of all employees would like to be better informed about their company's climate issues, motivated by a desire to contribute to sustainability projects such as carbon audits and the implementation of concrete measures to reduce their company's environmental impact.
This growing need for understanding and a quest for meaning is reflected in employees' expectations of organizations. A commitment to the environment begins with an understanding of the scientific mechanisms of climate change, as described in the IPCC reports.
It's in this context that educational tools like those offered by the association La Fresque du Climat, founded by Cedric Ringenbach in 2018, find their full relevance. This collaborative workshop, open to all types of audience - whether students or professionals - enables each participant to better understand the causes and consequences of climate disruption.
La Fresque offers a fun, collaborative learning environment, with a series of interactive courses led by trained instructors.

Understanding and training: 2 essential pillars for initiating change towards sustainable practices
💚The environmental transition at the heart of employee concerns
For companies, training in understanding climate issues is the first lever of transformation. Informing your team about transition issues facilitates involvement in efforts to reduce emissions and manage carbon footprints.
👉According to a study by the CSA Institute for LinkedIn and ADEME, 71% of employees claim to act in favor of decarbonization within their company, testifying to a growing interest in green initiatives.
Involving employees in this way is essential to consolidating the organization's corporate social responsibility (CSR) culture.
Soliciting the views of your employees can be particularly beneficial. Their participation in the implementation of a climate strategy enables them to highlight the company's values. This involvement can also serve as a lever for internal and external publicity, enhancing the company's responsible image. It promotes transparency and cohesion, and enables results to be measured more effectively, while mobilizing all teams around common objectives.
📈A measurable impact on organizations
Management commitment is crucial to the success of climate action initiatives. Putting in place sustainability governance, supported by committed leaders, strengthens the transition to a more decarbonized future, especially when GHG footprint and carbon impact control are priorities.
Worldwide, a Deloitte study shows that CSR programs are key drivers of loyalty and engagement for retail organizations.
🎯Results:
👉72% of employees in committed companies rarely consider changing jobs, compared with just 40% in those lagging behind.
👉85% of employees at these leading companies find real fulfillment in their work, a key value in a context of fierce competition for talent.
In addition to meeting new regulations, such as the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), this environmental culture helps companies to understand the costs associated with environmental risks, and to strengthen their resilience in a demanding market on sustainability issues.
💡La Fresque du Climat: a collaborative workshop at the heart of environmental issues
Since 2018, more than 2 million people around the world, in over 150 countries, have been educated using this tool, including more than 300,000 employees from structures of all sizes.
Based on scientific data from the IPCC, La Fresque du Climat is a participatory workshop that enables participants to reconstruct the cause-and-effect links of climate change using illustrated maps. The association proposes an approach that makes complex knowledge accessible while fostering collective intelligence.
The 7 advantages of carrying out your company's GHG assessment.
👉Using a deck of cards representing the causes and consequences of climate change, enabling participants to:
- Reconstructing the links between cause and effect
- Visualize systemic interactions at work.
This format enables a collective and emotional appropriation of the challenges: exchanges between participants facilitate awareness and encourage in-depth reflection on the individual and collective actions to be taken.
The La Fresque du Climat workshop acts as a catalyst for collective commitment, enabling employees to become players in this green revolution. The workshop strengthens team cohesion, stimulates innovation and brings out projects aligned with low-carbon trajectories. By integrating these workshops into their corporate culture, organizations move from theoretical transmission to concrete, shared action. Ultimately, this leads to the creation ofskilled CSR jobs.
