Force of Nature

What Force of Nature does

Force of Nature (legal entity: Force of Nature Education C.I.C.) is a UK-registered Community Interest Company founded in 2020 by Clover Hogan to address eco-anxiety among young people aged 16–35. The organisation helps users shift from climate anxiety and feelings of powerlessness to agency and action through three core product lines: the flagship 'Becoming a Force of Nature' multi-part programme and Anxiety to Agency workshop; three skills-based Training Pathways (Speaker, Consultant and Facilitator); and a global 'Climate Café' community programme supported by a free host guide in six languages and a microgrant scheme. Complementary resources include a 4-module Climate Anxiety Discussion Guide for educators, the Eco-Anxiety and Change-Maker quizzes, a research function contributing to projects such as Wellcome's Connecting Climate Minds, and content platforms The Bloom blog and the Force of Nature Podcast.

Programmes, resources and community interactions are delivered digitally through the Mighty Networks platform, with in-person touchpoints concentrated at major climate events (COP, Climate Week NYC, Blue Earth Summit, London Climate Action Week, Natural History Museum's Generation Hope). The customer base spans three end-user segments — young individuals aged 16–35, educators seeking classroom resources, and businesses procuring youth-engagement workshops and youth advisory boards — plus a community-organizer layer that hosts local cafés. The 2025 reach spans 50+ countries, with reported reach into 52+ countries for classrooms and 96 countries for podcast downloads.

Revenue is grant- and donation-funded rather than fee-based: core programmes are free to participants, and 2024/2025 disclosed income of £430,000 and £437,000 came predominantly from foundations and corporates (Big Change, Pinterest Impact Lab, Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation, Lululemon, Savitri Waney Charitable Trust, ICONIQ Impact, 1% for the Planet, Hogan Lovells crowdfunding) plus individual donations via PayPal. The team operates fully remote, with roughly 8–12 full-time staff and around 25 volunteers, governed since 2025 by a Board of Trustees as the organisation prepares for charitable status under a distributed, sociocracy-inspired leadership model.

Direct peers

• Climate Cares Centre (Imperial College London): Imperial College research centre focused on climate change and mental health. Directly comparable as a co-convener of Connecting Climate Minds and as a peer voice producing research and practitioner guidance in the same niche Force of Nature operates in.
• Good Grief Network: US nonprofit that runs 10-step programmes to help people process climate grief and turn it into meaningful action. Directly comparable mission, programme structure (peer cohorts, facilitated discussion), and target audience of climate-concerned adults.
• Climate Mental Health Network: US-based network focused on the intersection of climate change and mental health. It is a direct peer, running parallel work on eco-anxiety, community support, and resources for those experiencing climate-related distress, including collaboration with Force of Nature on the Connecting Climate Minds project.
• Earth Guardians: Youth-led climate organisation training young people in organising, advocacy, and creative activism. Comparable in mission and target audience (young climate leaders), with overlapping pathways from training to action.
• Sunrise Movement: US youth-led political movement on climate, mobilizing young people into advocacy and electoral action. Comparable in youth-led mobilization model, though focused on policy/electoral engagement rather than mental-health-first programming.

Others

• Ecosia: Not-for-profit search engine that partnered with Force of Nature to power Climate Cafés during COP27. Thematically adjacent as a mission-driven climate organization engaging the same environmentally concerned youth audience, but a commercial/ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Fridays for Future: Global youth climate strike movement. Comparable target audience (young people concerned about climate) and global reach, though focused on protest and political demands rather than emotional resilience and training pathways.
• 350.org: Large global climate movement organization focused on mobilizing grassroots action. Comparable audience (young climate activists) and global footprint, but with a much broader policy and divestment focus rather than eco-anxiety programming.

Emerging players

• Resilient 40: African and diaspora network of young climate leaders that has adopted Force of Nature's climate café model and delivered 846+ cafés across 38 African countries. Comparable audience and methodology, with partial geographic and programme overlap.

Regional players

• SustyVibes: Nigerian youth-led climate organization that collaborated with Force of Nature on the Connecting Climate Minds project. Comparable youth-engagement mission with a West African geographic focus.
