From the start, CCA has built strong relationships to spread our vision, purpose and work. We now have a growing number of established and emerging collaborations.

To learn more about these and our thinking on collaboration, you can watch the recorded event, Collaboration Conversations 2025 HERE.

You can contact us at: collaborations@climatecoachingalliance.org

Our Collaborations include:

The Criteria: Impact, Influence, Synergy

To help our collaborations to be as impactful as possible in promoting CCA’s purpose, we established the following criteria for choosing to work with others. These criteria are designed to be a model or template for CCA communities around the world to adopt – and adapt as needed – when considering, or creating, collaborations with climate-related organisations in your regions or areas of special interest: 

  1. The collaborator has a purpose and values that align with CCA’s and is demonstrably making an impact and influencing change

  2. CCA can offer the collaborator added value to what they are doing. Examples include:
    • Pro bono coaching by CCA members
    • Promotion of their activities by inviting them to speak at CCA events
    • Collaborating on events and projects, such as joint research
    • Showing how coaching-style approaches can build bridges in any situations
  1. The collaborator offers us something that adds value to what we are doing. Examples include:
    • Inviting CCA members to speak on their platform to increase our visibility
    • Promoting our events to their audience to increase our reputation, influence and membership
    • Sharing experience of creating tipping points for mass change
    • Contributing other support and/or funding to help us grow and thrive

If these criteria are met, we (the Collaborations Pod or the proposing pod/community) conclude that there is a strategic fit and explore what kinds of collaboration could be mutually beneficial. Collaborations come in many shapes: some may be more intense, others more low-key; some may be long-lasting, others time limited.

The Role of the CCA Collaborations Pod

We are a small volunteer team guiding CCA collaborations. Our role is:

  • proposing and coordinating new global collaborations as needed
  • light-touch support for new and existing collaborations, focusing on where we can have greatest impact
  • keeping an overview of collaborations throughout CCA’s ecosystem, to help identify and coordinate potential overlaps and interdependencies

As a member, what should I do if I have an idea for a CCA collaboration?

  • Check the above criteria to see if there is a good match
  • Discuss the idea with the leaders of your community if you are part of one
  • If your idea is for a local or regional collaboration, talk with the organisation to see what kinds of collaboration would be mutually beneficial for your CCA community and for the collaborator
  • Send a message to the Collaborations Pod at the email address above about your emerging collaboration – it could be a model for others!
  • If your idea is about a global collaboration, contact the Collaborations Pod with information about the organisation and the benefits so we can discuss next steps together
  • If you’re unsure, or have any other questions or ideas about collaboration, feel free to contact us at the email address displayed above.

Content: Your event must relate directly to climate coaching and a significant proportion, if not all of the content must provide clear learning and value-added outcomes for participants. While limited promotional elements can be included, an event that is solely or significantly for the purpose of promoting products or services will not be approved for listing on this site.

Recordings: While you are free to record the event you must select Yes to the question in the event registration form “Is this event being recorded?“. If the decision to record the event is taken after your event has been approved and posted, you must advise all participants at the beginning of your event that it is being recorded. Further, whether or not you record the event yourself as the host and in keeping with restrictions the CCA applies to all those who register to attend your event, you must take reasonable measures to ensure that participants do not record your event, either directly or using any other means including agents and bots.
