At People For Nature, our story is deeply rooted in the connection between France and Australia — not just geographically, but through ideas, innovation, and shared responsibility for the living world.
Our co-founders bring French origins and influences that have shaped the way we approach environmental education today. It is from this background that we were first introduced to powerful participatory learning tools such as Biodiversity Collage and Climate Fresk — methods that translate complex scientific knowledge into accessible, engaging, and collective experiences. These tools are now helping communities across Australia build climate and biodiversity literacy in a way that is fun, social, and empowering.
But France’s contribution to global environmental thinking goes far beyond cultural stereotypes. Yes, it is the country of fine cuisine, art, and yes… champagne and iconic design. But it is also a nation that helped shape modern democracy through the First Revolution, and a key player in global climate diplomacy through the adoption of the Paris Agreement — a landmark commitment to collective climate action.
As we bring these tools and ideas into Australia, we do so with a sense of shared purpose. Australia is a uniquely multicultural nation, and we believe these cross-cultural exchanges are essential to building the kind of ecological awareness and action our time demands.
At events, festivals, and public spaces, waste bins are often the first place we are asked to “do the right thing”.
Recycle this. Compost that. Landfill the rest.
It seems simple enough.
But in reality, waste sorting is just one small part of a much bigger system—and it’s often where confusion begins.
This is the thinking behind our video “Help Kokonut sort it right!”, created to make waste systems more visible, more playful, and easier to understand.
Because when people are confused, it’s rarely due to lack of care. It’s usually because systems themselves are complex.
Why waste sorting is harder than it looks
At first glance, bins appear straightforward:
♻️ Recycling
🌿 Compost
🔴 Landfill
💰 Containers for Change
But the reality behind each stream is more complicated.
Some items that look recyclable are not accepted in standard recycling systems. Some “compostable” packaging requires industrial facilities that aren’t widely available. Some materials technically can be recycled—but only if they are clean, separated, and processed correctly.
Even well-intentioned decisions can end up in landfill.
This is not a failure of individuals. It’s a reflection of how systems are designed.
The role of confusion (and why it matters)
When people are unsure where something goes, it often leads to one of two outcomes:
placing it in recycling “just in case”
or defaulting to landfill to avoid contamination
Both are understandable. Both are common.
But both highlight a deeper issue: we are asking individuals to navigate systems that are not always intuitive.
This is why education and clarity matter—but also why design matters just as much as behaviour.
What Kokonut helps us see
Through simple examples—like bottles, food scraps, coffee cups, and takeaway packaging—the video shows:
Not everything that looks recyclable actually is
Food waste belongs in biological cycles (compost), not landfill
Container Deposit Schemes provide a clear recovery pathway for some materials
Many everyday items still end up in landfill, even when sorted correctly
The goal is not perfection.
It is understanding.
The bigger question: why are we sorting so much waste at all?
Waste sorting is important. It helps reduce contamination and improves recovery where systems exist.
But it also raises a bigger question:
Why are we generating so many materials that require sorting in the first place?
Many single-use items are designed for convenience, not recovery. Some materials are complex combinations that cannot easily be separated. And even with good sorting, a significant proportion still ends up in landfill.
This is where the conversation begins to shift—from behaviour at the bin, to design upstream.
From sorting waste to reducing it
A more effective system starts earlier in the cycle:
choosing reusable over single-use
designing packaging that is truly recoverable
supporting systems like refill and return
reducing unnecessary material use altogether
This doesn’t replace recycling or composting. It strengthens it by reducing pressure on the system in the first place.
The takeaway
Waste sorting matters. It plays a role in keeping materials in circulation where possible.
But it is not the end of the story.
If we stop at sorting, we miss the bigger opportunity: designing systems that create less waste in the first place.

A takeaway coffee on the way to work. A bottle of water picked up at an event. A quick, convenient choice in the middle of a busy day.
Individually, these moments feel insignificant. But together?
They tell a much bigger story.
Every single day in Australia, we throw away 4.1 million coffee cups1 and 2.7 million plastic bottles2.
Let that sink in for a second.
Most coffee cups aren’t actually recyclable. Despite looking like paper, they’re lined with plastic, making them difficult to process. And while plastic bottles can be recycled, only about one in three actually are.
The rest?
They end up in landfill.
Now imagine this.
All that waste, from just one day, lined up in front of you. It would fill the equivalent of about 51 school buses3.
Every. Single. Day.
The things we throw “away” don’t disappear. They accumulate. They linger. They become part of the legacy we leave behind.
And here’s where it becomes more than just numbers.
Because those school buses don’t just represent waste. They represent the future we are shaping. A future that today’s children will inherit. A future defined, in part, by the everyday choices we make without thinking.
But this isn’t a story about guilt.
It’s a story about possibility.
Because the same way small choices add up to a problem, they can also add up to a solution.
Choosing a reusable cup.
Bringing a water bottle.
Pausing for a second before reaching for something disposable.
These actions might feel small. But multiplied across communities, events, and cities, they have the power to change the trajectory.
This is what collective impact looks like.
Want to go further?
Awareness is just the first step. Real change happens when we understand the systems behind these challenges — and our role within them.
At People For Nature, we exist to reconnect people with nature by making climate and biodiversity science understandable, relevant, and actionable.
Join one of our workshops: https://collections.humanitix.com/people-for-nature-literacy-workshops
Start by looking at your own impact — next time you head out for a coffee or attend an event, take your reusable coffee cup, a water bottle, and notice what you’re consuming and discarding along the way.
Hidden among decaying leaf litter in the rainforests of northern New South Wales is one of Australia’s most remarkable fungi, a tiny blue mushroom so unusual that it was only recognised by science in 2012.
Discovered by nature photographer Stephen Axford, Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea quickly captured attention for its vivid blue colouring and became a reminder of how much of Australia’s biodiversity remains undocumented.
It is proof that even today, entirely new species are waiting to be discovered.
Why it matters
Fungi play an essential role in keeping ecosystems healthy and functioning.
🪱 They break down dead plant material and recycle nutrients back into the soil
♻️ They support forest health by contributing to nutrient cycling and dcomposition
🕸️ They help sustain the complex relationships that underpin biodiversity
👀 They remind us that many of the most important species in nature are often overlooked
Although small and rarely seen, fungi such as Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea are part of the hidden processes that keep ecosystems alive.
Fun facts
🤓 Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea is a small blue mushroom found only rarely in Australia.
🤓 Unlike many related fungi, it produces pale spores rather than the dark spores common within its genus
🤓 Its fruiting bodies enclose spores in a truffle-like structure rarely seen in related species
🤓 Its fruiting bodies are extremely short-lived and can sometimes dissolve into liquid as they age, much like the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz

A deeper reflection
The discovery of Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea challenges the assumption that we already know most of the species that share our planet.
Scientists estimate there may be as many as 250,000 fungal species in Australia, yet fewer than 12,000 have been formally described.
This means the overwhelming majority of Australia’s fungi remain unnamed and largely unexplored.
In a country with more than 600,000 native species, many found nowhere else on Earth, discoveries such as Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea remind us that biodiversity is not just something from the past, but something we are still uncovering today.
How we protect forests, rainforests and other natural habitats will determine whether many of these hidden species are ever known at all.

On 12 June 2026, the University of Newcastle hosted the inaugural Shaping Our Future Youth Summit, bringing together 48 students from Years 9–12 across six Newcastle region high schools.
Designed to empower young people to better understand the climate crisis, strengthen emotional resilience, and explore pathways for action, the Summit offered a deeply interactive and hopeful day of learning, reflection, and collaboration.
A day of learning, connection, and action
The Summit was built around five interconnected experiences:
Climate Fresk Workshop, facilitated by 11 trained facilitators
Ecomind Workshop, focused on climate emotions and eco-anxiety
Solutions & Actions Session, exploring youth-led responses to the climate crisis
Keynote speakers, Dr Brodie Beales and Ms Devni Edirisinghe
Future Studies Expo, showcasing seven University of Newcastle faculties and sustainability-related study pathways
Students from different schools worked together throughout the day, building new connections, sharing perspectives, and engaging in collaborative discussions on some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Transformative learning through systems thinking
The Climate Fresk workshop emerged as one of the most impactful components of the Summit. Students explored the interconnected nature of climate change and gained a systems-level understanding of how human activity, environmental impacts, and solutions are deeply linked.
Post-event evaluation showed:
100% of students reported a deeper understanding of the climate crisis
100% of teachers confirmed improved student understanding
Consistently high engagement, curiosity, and critical thinking throughout the workshop
As one student reflected:
“Doing the Fresk and connecting all the problems made me realise how everything is connected and helped me gain a larger understanding of the climate problems and solutions.”
Climate emotions, resilience, and hope
The Ecomind workshop provided students with tools to better understand and manage emotions linked to climate change, including anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty.
Key findings included:
88% of students reported improved understanding of eco-anxiety and climate emotions
Teachers observed strengthened awareness of emotional wellbeing in 66% of students
One student shared:
“I’ve been feeling a lot of climate apathy due to the vastness of the issue. The conference helped me feel hopeful about the future for the first time in ages.”
These insights highlight the importance of pairing climate education with emotional literacy and wellbeing support.
High engagement and strong student satisfaction
Across the day, engagement remained exceptionally high. Students particularly valued:
Collaborative learning with peers from other schools
The Climate Fresk workshop
Group discussions exploring solutions and actions
Exposure to future study and career pathways in sustainability
Both students and teachers awarded the Summit a 5/5 satisfaction rating, reflecting the quality of the experience and the strength of the program design.
Facilitator insights
The Summit was supported by 11 Climate Fresk facilitators, who observed:
Strong collaboration and engagement across student groups
High-quality systems thinking discussions
Creative and practical solutions emerging from students
A strong sense of hope and agency
Importantly, 100% of facilitators expressed interest in supporting future Youth Summits.
A strong foundation for the future
While feedback was overwhelmingly positive, participants also shared thoughtful suggestions to further strengthen future editions, including:
Increased youth leadership opportunities
More time for collaborative solution-building
Expanded representation of disciplines in future studies pathways
Stronger integration between climate emotions and climate action
With thanks
This event was made possible through the generous support of the City of Newcastle, whose funding helped bring the vision to life. We extend our sincere gratitude to Heather Stevens and the Environment & Sustainability team for their trust, flexibility, and commitment.
We also acknowledge the University of Newcastle for hosting the Summit and providing an inspiring setting for learning and connection. Special thanks to Tarin Cromarty for her outstanding support, energy, and dedication throughout the planning and delivery of the event.
Conclusion
The Shaping Our Future Youth Summit demonstrated the power of bringing young people together to explore climate science, process emotions, and co-create solutions.
When given the space to understand complex systems, reflect on their emotions, and engage with real-world pathways, young people respond with clarity, creativity, and hope.
This inaugural Summit has laid a strong foundation for future programs that integrate climate literacy, wellbeing, and action — empowering the next generation to shape a more sustainable future.
Sholihah began as a Climate Fresk facilitator in September 2024, became a Biodiversity Collage facilitator in November 2024, and recently took on the role of Circular Economy Collage facilitator in February 2025.
With a background in STEM and experience as a biology teacher, Sholihah recognised the vital role of science communication in addressing environmental challenges. She believes that people often don’t take action not because they don’t care, but because they don’t fully understand the issues at hand.
When it’s tough to inspire action, Sholihah draws strength from the enthusiasm and resilience of her fellow facilitators.
“Their dedication to educating others, despite the challenges we face, continues to motivate her. The drive they bring to the work serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of every effort in creating meaningful change.“
My Journey as a People for Nature Student Ambassador
How it started
My first Climate Fresk was back in June 2024, when I was still in Indonesia. With a background in environmental engineering, I knew some things about climate change, but I didn’t know what to expect in the workshop, so I still very much looked forward to it. Sitting in that room, piecing together the causes and effects of climate change with a bunch of strangers using a deck of cards, and exchanging all the knowledge we collectively had, I found it really exciting. It didn’t feel like a lecture. It felt like everyone in the room was figuring things out together, and somehow that made the whole thing land so much harder and memorable.
Then in November 2024, a few months after I moved to Melbourne for my Master of Environment at the University of Melbourne, I attended my first Biodiversity Collage at FACET, Swinburne University. Same energy and logic, but different topic. This time it was about biodiversity loss, ecosystems, and how deeply interconnected everything is. I left that session thinking about it for days.
Both times, what struck me was the content, but also the format and how everyone interacted. The way the workshops are structured means that no one person is the expert. Everyone brings something to the table, and together you build this shared picture of something huge and complicated. That collective intelligence model is something I hadn’t really experienced before, and it fundamentally changed how I think about environmental education.
Why I wanted to become a facilitator
After those first workshops, I knew I wanted to be on the other side of the table. Not because I had all the answers, but because I wanted to help create that experience for other people. I’ve always believed that one of the most important things in sustainability work is knowing how to communicate complex science to people who are coming from completely different places, whether that’s a student, a corporate professional, or someone who’s never thought much about climate change before. These workshops felt like one of the best tools I’d seen for doing exactly that.
So I got trained as a Climate Fresk facilitator, and then I reached out to People for Nature Australia about becoming a Biodiversity Collage facilitator too. I love the P4N people so much, the team there has been so warm and supportive throughout the whole process. Audrey especially, the one whom I knew from day zero, has been incredibly helpful in guiding my facilitation journey, and that kind of support really does make a difference when I was just starting out.
The journey so far
I started as a participant, then became a volunteer facilitator, and more recently I’ve had the chance to step into corporate facilitation too as a paid opportunity. After I’d delivered more than five workshops, I was invited to help co-facilitate a paid Climate Fresk for a company, one that was tailored specifically to their team and context. That was a really different experience. The audience was different, the stakes felt different, and I had to think much more carefully about how to make the content relevant to their world and their industry.
As of now, I’ve facilitated more than 15 workshops in total across Climate Fresk and Biodiversity Collage, with around 3 of those being corporate sessions. Every single one has taught me something new.
What I’ve gained from doing this
Definitely more than I expected. The obvious things are the facilitation skills and the networks. I’ve met so many interesting people through these workshops, people I would never have crossed paths with otherwise. But the less obvious thing is how much I’ve learned about active listening. When you’re facilitating, your job is to hold space for the group, not to steer it toward your own perspective. That’s harder than it sounds, and it’s something I’m still working on.
What I find most valuable is how the workshops are structured beyond just the cards. The creative sessions, the parts where people get to sit with the emotional weight of what they’ve just learned, and the reflection for action sessions at the end, these are the moments where things really shift for participants. It’s not just about understanding the science as well, since we also have to figure out what to do with that understanding. Being in the room when that happens and facilitating the whole process, watching creativity, emotions, and ideas roam and floating around the room is something that is always really special for me and I always feel very honoured to be a part of that. I also love that every workshop brings together such different people with different lived experiences. Hearing how someone from a completely different background connects to these issues, in ways I hadn’t thought of, is something I look forward to every time.
This work, along with a few other things I’ve been involved in around environmental engagement, contributed to receiving a Highly Commended award at the University of Melbourne Sustainability Awards 2025 in the Student Leadership category!
If you’re thinking about becoming a facilitator
Do it. Seriously. You don’t need to be an expert in climate change or biodiversity to facilitate these workshops. You just need to be curious and willing to listen. The model is built on collective intelligence, which means the group does the work together. Your role is just to guide that process.
The skills you build, knowing how to communicate complex ideas to all kinds of people, how to hold space for difficult conversations, how to connect with people you’d never normally meet, these are genuinely useful for anyone who wants to work in sustainability, conservation, or really any field that involves people caring about the world.
I started out flipping cards in a room in Indonesia with no idea where it would lead. Somehow it brought me here, facilitating workshops in Melbourne, building a network I didn’t expect, and learning things I couldn’t have planned for. If anything, I might say this journey is one of the best things that happened to my student’s journey here in Australia. If you’re on the fence, I’d really encourage you to give it a go!
Expanding the Green Zone into communities across Australia
Citizen COP Australia is a decentralised, people-powered movement running alongside the global COPs in 2026.
In 2026, Citizen COP will run alongside:
COP17 Biodiversity (19–30 Oct)
COP31 Climate (9–20 Nov)
It expands the idea of the COP “Green Zone” beyond conference venues—into councils, universities, schools, businesses and community spaces across Australia.
The “Green Zone” is the part of a COP where the public, civil society, businesses, and organisations can come together to learn, share ideas, and take part in conversations and events. It is designed to make global discussions more open, inclusive, and accessible.
Through local events, Citizen COP brings climate, biodiversity, and circular economy discussions into everyday settings—turning global negotiations into accessible, shared civic conversations.
Rather than a single central event, Citizen COP is a nationwide civic network of local gatherings, workshops, and actions that make international negotiations visible, relatable, and participatory.
It is civil society infrastructure—built from the ground up.
The COP process is one of the most important global decision-making spaces for climate and biodiversity.
But meaningful participation from civil society is still largely concentrated in physical COP venues and limited “Green Zone” spaces.
Citizen COP exists to change that.
We believe the Green Zone should not be confined to a single location—it should be expanded into society itself.
By creating parallel spaces across Australia, Citizen COP brings communities into the conversation, strengthens democratic participation, and ensures that climate and biodiversity decisions are understood, questioned, and shaped by the people they affect.
Vision and Values:
Advancing the Green Zone of COPs: a complementary civic infrastructure.
Connecting global biodiversity and climate decisions through local citizen voices.
Expand COP “Green Zones” into local, nationwide, citizen-led spaces for discussion and collaboration.
Globally connected, locally grounded.
Accessible to all: no flights, no waste, all vegetarian, no paid speakers.
Ways to support Citizen COP
We are inviting individuals and organisations to support this work in several ways:
💛 Sponsorship Financial support that helps sustain Citizen COP nationally and enables us to grow the movement.
🤝 Donations One-off or ongoing contributions that directly support core operational costs and community delivery.
🧠 Pro bono support Skills and expertise that help us grow, including communications, design, legal, strategy, facilitation, technology, or media.
🧩 In-kind support Practical contributions such as venues, printing, catering, equipment, or logistics for events.
🎁 Raffle contributions Aligned gifts or experiences for our national Citizen COP raffle.
All contributions should reflect our values — supporting nature, wellbeing, learning, creativity, and community action.
A shared effort
Citizen COP is a collective effort. It only exists because people choose to support it, host it, and believe in it.
If you or your organisation would like to support Citizen COP Australia 2026 — through sponsorship, donations, pro bono work, in-kind support, or raffle contributions — we would love to hear from you: citizencop@peoplefornature.org.au
We’re reaching out to warmly invite you to be part of Australia’s Citizen COP — a growing national initiative designed to bring climate and nature conversations out of formal spaces and into communities.
Citizen COP elevates the solutions already happening on the ground, creating space for practical, inclusive dialogue grounded in democratic values and collective action.
In 2025, AlterCOP 30 Australia was the Australian AlterCOP Chapter brought to Australia by People For Nature in 2025:
1,400+ registered participants
42 events
8 locations
49 participating organisations
In 2026, People For Nature decided to evolve into creating our own initiative Citizen COP, running alongside:
COP17 Biodiversity (19–30 Oct)
COP31 Climate (9–20 Nov)
Our guiding principles
Citizen COP events are grounded in a simple shared commitment:
Accessible to all
No flights policy
No paid speakers
Fully vegetarian
Strong focus on minimising waste
Fully citizen-led and independent, with no involvement from fossil fuel or extractive industries
What we are inviting the civic community to do
Citizen COP is a space for everyone in civic life — including individuals, community groups, charities, social enterprises, councils, universities, educators, artists, students, and grassroots collectives.
This year, we are inviting you to:
Host (or co-host) a Citizen COP event or series of events
Activate local discussions, workshops, panels, performances, or community gatherings
Integrate Citizen COP themes into existing programs, curricula, exhibitions, or events
Join a national cohort collectively shaping an Australian citizen convention on climate and biodiversity
Formats are flexible and community-led — from intimate roundtables and classroom sessions to public forums, creative activations, screenings, exhibitions, and dialogue spaces.
We are very happy to co-design what works best for your context, audience, and capacity.
Citizen COP themes include (but are not limited to):
Decolonised dialogues, First Nations leadership & knowledge systems
Youth leadership & intergenerational action
Women, equity & inclusive leadership
Health, wellbeing & climate resilience
Ways to take part in Citizen COP
You can be part of Citizen COP in a simple but meaningful way — by hosting your own event or activity within your community.
We welcome a wide range of formats and ideas, and we can support you to bring them to life.
This could be:
🧩 A workshop (e.g. Climate Fresk, Biodiversity Collage, Circular Economy Collage — we can support facilitation)
🎤 A debate or panel discussion on climate and biodiversity issues
☕ A community conversation over tea, coffee, or a shared meal
💻 A webinar or online learning session
🎓 A school activity or youth-led climate and biodiversity session
❓ A trivia night focused on nature, climate, and sustainability (we can provide trivia questions and a facilitation guide)
🎬 A film screening with Q&A (we can support screening rights for selected films such as Nature, Floodland, Rising Up, The Plastic Country)
🌱 A local action or hands-on restoration activity (tree planting, clean-up, habitat restoration)
🚶♀️ A guided walk (nature walk, bushwalk, cultural walk, urban ecology walk)
👨👩👧👦 A gathering for parents and carers to explore climate and biodiversity futures for children
😂 A comedy night or storytelling event with an environmental theme
📸 A photography or art exhibition exploring nature, climate, place, and community
🎨 A creative arts event (painting, installation, spoken word, or participatory community art)
🍲 A cooking class or shared meal workshop focused on sustainable, local, seasonal or low-waste food
🎉 An art festival celebrating nature, climate action, and community creativity
We are here to support you in shaping your idea — whether that means helping with facilitation, resources, connections, or co-designing an event that fits your community.
If your organisation is interested in hosting or exploring an activation, we would love to hear from you and welcome you into this year’s cohort of participating partners.
In 2026, two of the most important global gatherings for our planet will take place:
Biodiversity COP17 in Armenia (19–30 October)
Climate COP31 in Turkey (9–20 November)
These conferences shape the future of life on Earth. But for many people, they remain distant—happening behind closed doors, far away, and often disconnected from everyday life.
Citizen COP Australia is here to change that.
A COP for people, by people
Citizen COP Australia is a decentralised, people-powered movement running alongside the global COPs in 2026.
Enabled by People For Nature, it invites citizens, schools, businesses, artists, and community groups across the country to host their own events during the COP period.
Not one big conference. But hundreds of small, local ones.
Citizen COP is built on a simple idea:
Global decisions should not be disconnected from the people they affect.
Every event—whether it’s in Brisbane, a regional town, or a remote community—becomes part of a larger, coordinated moment.
You don’t need to travel. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to care.
Rethinking what climate events look like
All events follow a simple vision, and intentional values:
Advancing the Green Zone of COPs: a complementary civic infrastructure.
Connecting global biodiversity and climate decisions through local citizen voices.
Walking the talk: accessible to all, no flights, no waste, all vegetarian, minimum waste, no fossil fuel support, no paid speakers.
How to get involved
You can be part of Citizen COP in a simple but meaningful way: host your own event.
The future is not shaped only in negotiation rooms.
At global COPs, the “Green Zone” is where civil society comes together outside formal negotiations.
Citizen COP expands this idea across Australia—creating distributed “Green Zones” in communities everywhere, without flying people across the country or overseas.
It is shaped by what people understand, what they discuss, and what they choose to do—together.
Citizen COP Australia is an invitation to step into that space.
