The Climate Crisis Coalition (CCC) connects global warming to human rights, labor, peace, faith, sustainable business practices, environmental justice and other issues. Our mission is to build a broad-based coalition that can become an effective, powerful agent for change: the development and unfolding of a national and visible action campaign that makes it impossible for citizens and governments to ignore the urgent demands of the climate crisis.

The People's Ratification of the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty, an ongoing petition gathering effort began the day the Kyoto Protocol kicked in, on February 16, 2005. We took the petition to the U.N. Conference in Montreal, December 05, as a way of showing how U.S. citizens feel about the U.S. not cooperating with the rest of the world in reducing greenhouse gases and it continues to gain momentum and to be an effective vehicle to engage people in climate issues. The People’s Ratification petition was recently signed and endorsed by Al Gore |
| USA Join the World! A campaign to engage a broad spectrum of people in political and social action. Two years ago we worked with 70 organizations to facilitate 40 actions around the U.S. on December 3rd, the 1st International Day of Climate Action. More recently, we were a cosponsor of the hugely successful March for Peace, Justice, Democracy and the Earth, on April 29th in New York City with more than 350,000 people from all over the country. We also organized the 2nd International Day of Action for November 4th, 2006. We are now beginning the work of organizing the 3rd International Day of Action for December 8th, 2007. The International Day of Climate Action always coincides with the United Nations Framework Annual Conference on Climate Change. |  |

The ClimateUSA Campaign is a current initiative designed to put climate change squarely on the agenda of the 110th Congress. The goal is to get as many Senators and Congresspeople to take a visible public position on the climate crisis. We encourage volunteers and concerned citizens to circulate the People’s Ratification of Kyoto petition, and to promote our four point platform, which calls for the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, the passage of specific pending climate bills, the transfer of subsidies from fossil fuel to renewables, and a carbon tax. |
