InterClimate Network (registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales as InterClimate Trust) is a registered charity based in the United Kingdom.

The charity was founded by John Davidson, the former leader of the Groundwork movement. It provides environmental education and advocacy programmes in the UK.

History
The organisation was registered as a charity in 2003 as Global Dimension Trust, providing development education programmes. In 2008, the organisation was funded by the Department for International Development to run an international project to bring together schools in the UK, Kenya and India to develop creative solutions to climate change, partnering with IUCN and the Darwin Initiative.

Activities
From 2015, the charity shifted its focus of activity to the UK after funding was granted by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust for its 'Climate Voices' programme of model climate conferences based on the United Nations Conference of the Parties.

In 2020, the organisation joined an international coalition of partners within the Erasmus+ funded International Climate Action Network.

In 2021, the charity was appointed as the secretariat of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Youth Action against Climate Change in the UK Parliament. Also in 2021, InterClimate Network received a share of almost £1.2m funding from the ScottishPower Foundation as a partner in the 'Connecting the UK' project led by Size of Wales, which resulted in a national youth climate conference involving schools from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland coinciding with the COP26 climate summit.
