We're Building a Movement To Fight Climate Change
Across Our Region and Beyond.
Should we reflect sunlight away from the Earth? With global temperatures spiking ever higher, CCAN supports careful research into geoengineering, following the lead of the world’s top scientists.
The D.C. Council can stop ballooning utility costs for residents by passing common sense ratepayer protections, stopping Project Pipes for good, and piloting networked geothermal to kickstart our transition of dangerous methane gas.
This fall, we’re spreading the word about the impacts and costs of extreme weather events on our communities by hosting a series of events in a statewide “Make Polluters Pay” tour.
CCAN Action Fund released a new statewide poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group, that shows a whopping 92% of likely voters believe state lawmakers are failing to properly manage the rapid growth of data centers in the Commonwealth. They want action!

Virginia’s new State Energy Plan puts affordable, clean energy and a modern, flexible grid at the center of the Commonwealth’s future. It also sends a clear message: unchecked data center growth cannot come at the expense of Virginia families, communities, or climate progress.Read our full statement: chesapeakeclimate.org/spanberger-energy-plan-strongly-prioritizes-low-cost-clean-energy/#CleanEnergy #VirginiaEnergy #ClimateAction #EnergyAffordability #DataCenters #RenewableEnergy #VAClimate
Flooded streets, brought to you by Big Oil! Climate change is making rainfall more intense in DC -- flooding our streets during quick, extremely intense storms. We need upgraded stormwater systems to handle this extra water, and the fossil fuel companies that fuel climate change should write the check. Sign our petition to make polluters pay for climate impacts! act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/86195/petition/1

Last week, CCAN hosted a solar reflection methods (SRM) Research Hub Crawl at Climate Week NYC on Wednesday. Many thanks to the scientists, policymakers, civil society organizations, and other climate leaders who joined us. While SRM is not a substitute for rapidly cutting greenhouse gas emissions, participants explored how research, public engagement, oversight, and governance should shape any consideration of the field.
