Coaching for the Climate
In Support of Climate Coaching Action Day
The fifth Climate Coaching Action Day takes place on 12 March 2025.
Climate Coaching Action Day is an annual event, dedicated to raising awareness about the intersection of climate change and coaching practices. It is a platform for showcasing success stories, sharing best practices, and fostering collaboration among coaches, environmental experts, and sustainability advocates. It emphasises the importance of integrating climate consciousness into coaching approaches, empowering coaches to facilitate positive action and resilience in the face of climate change.
This initiative was launched in 2020 by Coaching at Work and has always intended to be an invitation for individuals and organisations to embrace, including the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA), professional coaching and coaching psychology bodies and coach training organisations such as the AoEC.

Working with strong emotions: navigating eco-anxiety to empower climate action
Mar 12, 2025 10:30 - 11.30 GMT
As the climate crisis intensifies, so too do the emotional challenges faced by individuals, leaders and organisations. From eco-anxiety and grief to feelings of helplessness or frustration, these emotions are natural responses to a complex global issue. Yet, when left unaddressed, they can hinder climate action.
Join us this Climate Coaching Action Day 2025 for a special webinar as we explore the role of emotional literacy in climate leadership, examining how developing the capacity to recognise, understand and process emotions can not only build resilience but also transform despair into hope and action. Our panel of experts will discuss strategies for supporting clients, teams and organisations in navigating the emotional aspects of climate change.
Climate Coaching Certificate
How can it help you as a coach?
The course helps coaches find the tools and the know-how to coach big, systemic and complex topics such as the unfolding climate crisis. But more so, it helps coaches find their voice, their courage and their community to take meaningful personal and professional action. Clients appreciate the freedom and permission to talk about these big topics, and I believe the 21st century skill expected of coache's is that we should be able to comfortably and skillfully coach around this subject.
George Warren, AoEC Faculty
