What We Do

Climate NI brings together members from a range of key sectors to share best practice and enable positive action to address the impacts of a changing climate.

By acting as a primary point of contact within Northern Ireland for all aspects of climate change, Climate Northern Ireland promotes a more coordinated and coherent approach that adds value to the work of our members.
