InterClimate Network - Inspiring the next generation of climate leaders

At InterClimate Network (ICN) our mission is to inspire young people across the UK to lead, advocate for and take action on climate change.

We work with 11 to 18-year-olds to deepen their understanding of global climate challenges, enable meaningful action, and amplify their voices in decision-making — driving positive change from local to national levels.

Get involved

My age group should have a say in how we tackle climate change, as we are the ones who will pay the price if we can’t solve climate change.

Take action

Develop climate action in your school community with our projects and resources. We offer guidance and expert advice to students and teachers on where to start with climate action and how to engage the whole school community in your plans, using behaviour change approaches. Our multi-layered Climate COPs help students deepen their understanding of both global perspectives and influencing local change. read more

“It’s been brilliant to have the [Youth Climate Action] report and stats when lobbying the council – it’s been an invaluable resource that’s really gotten the message across to them.”

- Youth Climate Group

Lead the way

Join our skills-based programmes working together with other school groups and experts to generate a shared sense of concern and action. Use our data and opportunities to take your questions and plans direct to decision-makers in school and your community. Through our national Youth Climate Action Research we make sure that young people are heard at senior levels. read more
