Climate Coaching Alliance launched Taking the Pulse – Climate Politics 2026, a new series exploring climate leaders adapting, persisting, and creating change in an uncertain political landscape.

The Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA) was set up in late 2019 to bring together coaches, coaching psychologists, and coaching supervisors, facilitators and other leadership professionals in order to cocreate a space to share resources, explore practice, and hold dialogue. We are aiming to enable individual practitioners, and the profession of coaching to develop strategies and practices that provide our clients (individuals, leaders and their teams) the right space to step into their necessary leadership role in the face of the climate emergency. Additionally, as we see the capacity of our planet to support life dwindle, experience climate related catastrophes and an increased rate of extinction in the more than human world, spaces are needed to process the overwhelming grief and sadness, the sense of impotence and at times despair and maintain hope and grounded optimism. The aim is to make the resources accessible to practitioners, to encourage discussion, engagement and confidence in raising this and to be an enabling, learning space. While some collaborators may be experienced in the field, there will be many for whom this will be their first engagement in climate change and coaching.
