About Us
Category:
Action Team
Description:

Our Mission: To support CCL chapter members located in Coastal Districts and districts which include large rivers and lakes. 

Our Core Belief: Members of Congress are obliged to help solve the problems which Climate Change is causing in their districts.  By providing information about Carbon Pricing and Nature-base Solutions we intend to stabilize the climate through legislation which will reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon sequestration.  

So welcome to the Coastal Impacts Action Team Our purview is all 119 US coastal congressional districts. This is approximately 186+ CCL chapters. Every coastal district in Alaska, Hawaii, West Coast, the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf Coast.  Share your experiences and resources with other chapters, build a data base of useful tools, learn new techniques for Grasstops outreach -- all here at CI-AT.
