Joint Global Statement Group on Climate and Ecodiversity Crises

The world’s climate crisis is one of humankind’s biggest challenges to date. To address the reality and urgency of the climate emergency, ICF joined 10 other global coaching, mentoring, coaching psychology, and supervision professional bodies in releasing a global statement on the climate and biodiversity crisis. Below, you will find an excerpt, and an option to download the full statement.

Coaching, mentoring, coaching psychology, and supervision are concerned with developing the potential of human beings, of raising awareness to enable people to take responsibility for their actions and ownership for their contribution. We have a significant role to play in fostering new ways of being in service to a healthy human society and a healthy planet.

As professional bodies who are dedicated wholly or in part to the role of coaching, coaching psychology, mentoring, and supervision to develop individuals, teams, organizations, and to create social value, we have committed to work together to play our part in addressing the climate emergency.
