Joining the ICCN

Benefits of membership

The ICCN is here to support countries in establishing their own climate councils.  Today, over 25 climate councils are part of the ICCN network.  But this is only the beginning.

We need more countries to adopt these councils so that climate action is sustained, accountable, and far-reaching. We will support you create effective climate councils by:

1. Providing you with peer-to-peer support from an established council
2. Access to an online toolkit – and over time more in-depth evidence exclusive to members
3. Regular working groups and email news bulletins that share the latest best practice and funding opportunities
4. Amplifying your council’s voice on the international stage through high-profile events at COPs, UNGA, G7, G20 and other venues
5. Tailored capacity building programmes, including exchange programmes and partnerships with research institutions

The ICCN is currently aimed at climate advisory councils which have a specific mandate to provide expert, evidence-led advice to and or monitoring of national government action on climate mitigation and/or adaptation.  

As the ICCN evolves we will review the membership guidelines to ensure that the network has the right breadth and depth to achieve its mission.

Decision on Membership is taken by the ICCN Steering Committee. For any enquires please reach out and contact the Secretariat.
