Description

Applications for 2026 are now OPEN! 

Be part of a prestigious group and become one of Ireland’s Climate Ambassadors. This is an opportunity to take meaningful action and make positive changes, with full support from our Climate Action Officers and your national network of inspiring individuals.

Who Can Apply? Everyone!

Seriously, we want everyone! Coastal, rural, midlands, urban…farmers, foodies, bikers, bingo lovers, nature lovers, scientists, hobbyists, parents, students, tidy towners, Tik-Tokers, book clubbers, night clubbers, GAA’ers…you get the gist! Climate change effects are being felt on a local, national and global scale, so now, more than ever, we need people from all areas and all walks of life to unite in meaningful climate action!

The Climate Ambassador programme is spread across one calendar year and offers: Climate Literacy. Solutions. Action. Communications. Community.

No previous experience is required to become an official Climate Ambassador with An Taisce. You don’t have to be a climate expert to join the programme, we’re here to support you and your fellow Climate Ambassadors to develop, share and learn from each other’s ideas and experiences. We offer training in climate literacy, solutions and leadership. Plus there are fun and informative climate action tours and workshops around the country at our network gatherings.

In return, we ask that you carry out at least two climate actions and two climate communications. Our Climate Action officers will work with you as you create innovative initiatives, community projects and events. Plus, we’ll teach you the communication skills needed to share your sustainable achievements.

The programme culminates in a special awards ceremony that celebrates friendship, hope, and the immense power of people uniting in climate action.

Applications are open till the 30th of November 2025.
