Bold action, taken together,

is the path forward.

Did you know solutions to our changing climate are right here in our community? The Community Climate Collaborative (C3) focuses on collective action, including every sector of our community, to help develop solutions that will preserve our planet for future generations. Bringing local schools, businesses, neighbors, and local governments together to lead on climate, C3 creates roadmaps for communities to implement solutions and policies that accelerate climate action.

At C3, we believe we can create a more resilient, equitable, and healthy future together—because the climate crisis demands nothing less.
