IYCN members work to generate consensus on what role India should play in the global debate of climate change, and how it should address its domestic issues.

Today, IYCN has offices in six locations with chapters in the Indian states and has an outreach to thousands of youth in colleges, schools, corporations and institutions in India.

The organization started with attending a climate change & public survey of Delhi's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor hosted by India's Centre for Science and Environment CSE.

The first rural energy project of IYCN is going to be implemented in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu in a village called MGR Nagar on the outskirts of Coimbatore.

The Delegation of the European Union (EU) held the proposed Youth Climate Conclave as part of the 2020 World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS).
