What impact can coaching have on climate action and change?

Posted on: 14 May 2025

In the spirit of International Coaching Week (ICW) and in recognition of the potential for “the profound impact of professional coaching” (ICF), this month’s issue of Coaching Research in Practice explores the role of coaching in advancing climate action.

While many organizations struggle to turn sustainability intentions into actual change, this issue highlights current research showing how inner development frameworks can empower coaches to help clients and teams to translate climate goals into lasting action for change. But it’s not just about organizational change; this issue also highlights how coaching can inspire individuals to take small, meaningful actions that contribute to wider climate solutions. These individual efforts, though modest in scale, can build momentum for collective and lasting environmental impact.

If you’re inspired to be part of this movement, join our annual Climate Peer Coaching Round. We open up registration for this round each year during ICW. Whether you’re looking to reduce your own climate footprint or support others in doing the same, this program offers 12 climate-focused peer coaching sessions to explore and act on your climate goals. No pre-determined climate goals are required to join, only a desire to make some kind of climate-positive change. Learn more and sign up here.
