InterClimate Network - Inspiring the next generation of climate leaders

At InterClimate Network (ICN) our mission is to empower young people across the UK to 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 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

Amplify youth voices

Since 2021, we have listened to over 25,000 young people ensuring youth voices shape the decisions that impact their future. Our research is delivered primarily through student-led Climate Action Surveys to understand youth climate priorities, influences, and everyday actions. These timely insights help schools, councils, and communities create effective, trusted policies. read more
