Community Climate Action Network

Climate change is a global problem and challenge to local communities. Catalyzing community action and transformation to climate change requires an approach tailored to community needs that empowers communities to envision, express, and enact a just, resilient, and sustainable climate future. This is particularly true in the San Diego region, home to a U.S.-Mexico border, diverse ecosystems, intense land use pressure, under-resourced communities, and large economic disparities. These features present governmental, political, cultural, socio-cultural, and economic barriers that challenge community action to climate change. To overcome these barriers, CCAN is working to support research, education, and action that are driven, tailored, and sustained by our communities.

Thank you

for sharing our goals and trusting CCAN in creating a better and sustainable tomorrow.
