The International Climate Council Network (ICCN) was founded in 2021, with the Swedish Climate Policy Council as one of the initiators. The network fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange among climate councils worldwide.

It convenes regularly and has established working groups focused on emissions reductions, climate adaptation, governance, communication, and participation in international meetings.
Since 2024, ICCN’s secretariat has been hosted in London by the think tank E3G, which also works to inspire and support countries in the creation of new independent advisory bodies on climate policy.
ICCN currently unites 25 independent climate councils that evaluate and/or advise their governments and monitor national climate policies.
Member councils benefit from being part of ICCN not only by learning from one another in a technical capacity, but also by strengthening the critical task of communicating their work. Through collaboration and shared learning, ICCN increases the impact and effectiveness of its member councils worldwide.
