SHAPING TOMORROW…     PLAYBOOK   |   PROMO PACK   |   BOOK CIRCLE

The Political Pod is a diverse global community of practice using coaching approaches to shift the way politicians and policy-makers view and respond to climate and ecosystem collapse.

Research shows that 80% of people across the globe, including politicians, care about the environmental crisis, but knowing how to act for the benefit of future generations isn’t easy.

The Political Pod sits at the crossroads between mainstream politics as we know it and paths that build policies and practices in regenerative adaptation. Change is encouraged through coaching that fosters understanding and reflection about political processes and climate awareness.

We support the ongoing development of climate-aware coaching skills through creating curious, compassionate, and informative spaces and resources for coaches, change agents, politicians, community leaders, both local and global, and citizens to share and learn from each other.

As part of the CCA, the Political Pod has a truly global membership from which to draw on different visions, world views and cultural nuances. Political Pod activities are seeded and generated by our members. If you have a concept or workshop to share, or would like to join our mailing list contact political@climatecoachingalliance.org.
