How we started
Force of Nature was founded in 2019 by then 19-year-old Clover Hogan.
”At 16, I travelled to Paris for COP21. I went in with starry-eyed optimism that world leaders would solve this existential threat. Instead, I met people who were fluent in greenwash, making promises scheduled far enough into the future that they required no immediate action.
I was familiar with the anger and frustration that bubbled up within me, but never before had I felt… powerless. And looking at the people around me – anxious students, calculating policy-makers, cautious corporate leaders – I saw the same feelings reflected in their eyes, too.
At 19, I started Force of Nature with the mission to mobilise mindsets for climate action. Our team has since delivered programmes to thousands of young people, and moved decision-makers across business and policy.
We’re helping our community channel climate anxiety into agency; develop the skills to make a difference; and inspire change at the systemic level.”

After over 5 years dedicated to this organisation, Clover has transitioned out of her role as Executive Director in 2024. She will always be an integral part of the Force of Nature community and continue to support us in an advisory capacity.
