ABOUT CCL: Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization focused on national policies to address climate change. Our organization is volunteer based and organized by congressional districts.

CCL prides itself in its unique approach to educating elected officials on climate action, particularly bipartisan action. We aim to build upon shared values rather than partisan divides, and empowering our supporters to work in keeping with the concerns of their local communities. This is how we work towards the adoption of fair, effective, and sustainable climate change solutions.
