So, what impact did we have in 2025?

In 2025, 1198 young people joined our community.

We partnered with external facilitators to deliver 13 community calls for 308 people, from fundraising to conservation, environmental justice to climate careers, breath workshops to yoga.

For the first time, we ran our flagship climate emotions programme - Becoming a Force of Nature (BaFoN) - twice!

1364 young people applied, nearly 900 participated and 308 went on to graduate from the full programme. That’s a 67% increase from last year.

We hired 5 youth facilitators from our community to help deliver the programme - Jake, Daniela, Julia, Anaïs and Camille.

“It wasn’t just about learning tools to take action, but about building emotional resilience and community support to sustain that action over time.” - Elpida, 27, Greece, Spring 2025 cohort.

302 people applied to our training pathways after completing the Becoming a Force of Nature training (some people joined multiple pathways!).

• 183 applied for speaker training

• 182 applied for consultant training

• 201 applied for facilitator training

So far, over 50 people graduated from the first round of trainings and the second round is still in progress.

In November 2025, 8 people who graduated our facilitator training pathway took part in extra facilitator mentorship to develop their active listening, space holding and facilitation skills. The 3-month mentorship scheme consists of monthly meetings to learn form peers, deepen skillsets, ask questions and participate in role play.

We’ve dreamt of making our work more accessible by translating it into some of the most commonly spoken languages of our community. This year, our dream became reality.

Our How to Host a Climate Café guide is now available in Arabic, Swahili, French, Spanish, Portuguese (and English).

We’re lucky to have a beautifully diverse community who speak many languages. So we collaborated with them and paid for their time to translate our work.

Thank you to Anaïs Magliocco, Daniela Quijano, Mahmoud Hazem, Adonijah Anindo, Francisca Costa, Farrah Moussa, Alejandra Cala, and all our proofreaders. It wouldn’t be possible without you!

This year, we bid farewell to three team members who have been an essential part of Force of Nature.

We are deeply grateful to Alejandra Cala, a talented Graphic Designer. As well as, Phoebe Hanson and Sacha Wright, two of our founding members, who have made Force of Nature what it is today. Thank you!

Meet the full team here.

Inspired by principles of sociocracy and the ‘teal organisation’ framework, we embarked on an evolution towards a distributed leadership model. We transitioned away from traditional hierarchies and now operate through collaborative circles. Our new structure allows us to quickly respond to emerging needs while fostering greater autonomy and shared ownership across the organisation.

We are also excited to share that Force of Nature has been preparing for the requirements for charitable status under UK regulations. As part of this, we have established a Board of Trustees and will soon be recruiting new members for our Youth Advisory Board.

Establishing our new status and governance will allow us to access more funding, build credibility and accountability, and create a governance structure that ensures longevity while supporting our mission.

We attended key climate events to discuss the intersection of climate and mental health, such as:

• Generation Hope

  • an annual programme at the Natural History Museum in London created in partnership with young people, for young people. Force of Nature is part of the advisory board, which shapes the event.

• Generation Climate

  • a convening where Canada’s emerging Indigenous, Black, and racialized climate leaders came together to network, share ideas, and build skills to influence climate policy.

• London Climate Action Week

  • We partnered with Youth Climate Collaborative and Our Youth for the Climate to host a community walk; ran our Anxiety to Agency workshop; facilitated intergenerational conversions at Nature Day; and ran a workshop at LCAW’s first Youth Summit.
