CCL is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy organization with hundreds of chapters worldwide working to build the political will to respond to climate change.
Its approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation for action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. By building upon shared values rather than partisan divides and empowering volunteers to address the concerns of their local communities, CCL works toward the adoption of fair, effective and sustainable climate-change solutions including the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act.
This legislation is a revenue-neutral, market-based, nonregulatory approach that reduces greenhouse gas emissions while creating jobs and benefiting the economy. All of the net fees charged fossil-fuel emitters are to be held in a Carbon Fees Trust Fund and returned directly to households as a monthly dividend. In order to generate the political will necessary for passage of the Energy Innovation Act, CCL trains and supports volunteers to build relationships with elected officials, the media and their local community members.
