Welcome to the Citizens' Climate Southeast / Appalachia Conference

You are invited to the online Citizens' Climate Conference Southeast/Appalachia. Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) and Citizens' Climate Education (CCE) provide education about the climate crisis that helps to build political will for our elected officials to take effective action on climate change. Optimism and volunteer support has allowed us to achieve the impossible: gaining support for bi-partisan climate legislation in the 116th Congress.

Our Regional Conference is an opportunity for newcomers and experienced members to actively get involved in moving our country toward climate solutions. You will be able to participate in sessions on several topics regarding sustainable communities, acting on climate, and science and engineering. Come join us to create the political will for a livable world while being empowered to have breakthroughs in your personal and political power.

Engage on a broad range of topics – from Climate Crisis to Climate Opportunity. The full program is available at:
