What we’re about
We're changing the group slightly to bring you a lot more, and varied, events and activities.
This meetup group is now run as ChangeMakers and we're opening it up to other organisations and groups that work in different areas of sustainability. So Green Drinks will post its events here as usual, but you'll start seeing a lot more from other groups too.
Green Drinks Exeter - Social Meetups for Nature Lovers
Green Drinks is a relaxed and fun social for anyone that loves the environment, nature, or wildlife.
We're a very friendly bunch and the event is hosted, so you will be greeted and introduced to others, so please don't worry be put off if you’re coming on your own. And there’s no need to RSVP (although that does help me, Vipul, identify you) you'll very quickly make new friends and settle in. 😊
Please note, you don't need to register or be a part of this group - it's open to all.
The main event is an evening social, every third Friday, where you can join fellow lovers of nature and wildlife for a friendly, agenda free, relaxed evening of drinks (food if you like) and free-flowing conversation with new friends. You can pop in any time after 19:00, officially we will end at 22:00 but many of us stay on until 23:00 and some, of the hardier, venture on to another venue afterward.
We'd love to meet you and do encourage your friends, family, or colleagues to join us.
We have a second event, a Green Drinks Walk, on the fourth weekend of every month – a fabulous way to meet new people and enjoy some of the beautiful sights and sounds of Devon. We try to make these accessible by public transport, for the obvious green reasons, and also not too major a hike so it should be suitable for most people.
P.S. Green Drinks is not part of any political Party and, more importantly, there are no actual green drinks

As the climate crisis impacts patterns of migration across the world, Earth system tipping points provide important markers for large scale environmental events that are set to reshape global migration patterns. This talk will explore climate tipping points and the implications from triggering such system changes on the lives of those in threatened areas who face rising sea levels, desertification, and food and water shortages, subsequently driving large-scale migration changes.
The Routes network incorporates diverse disciplinary expertise with grassroots activism, collaboration with non-governmental organisations, and the direct voice of people who have moved. The goal of the network is to use perspectives from a variety of disciplinary traditions to create new knowledge, and to intervene in debates, policy processes and practice on the issues of human mobility, migration and displacement. In so doing we aim to build understanding, capacity, and to attain sustainability, through reciprocal knowledge-sharing with colleagues, students and organisations in and outside academia, as well as to create links with other groups working in this field.
