|
| USCAN is the U.S. affiliate of the Climate Action Network (CAN), a global network of over 365 environment and development non-governmental organizations from 85 countries promoting equitable measures to limit human-induced global warming to ecologically sustainable levels. CAN’s mission is to support and empower civil society organizations to influence the design and development of an effective global strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure its implementation at international, national and local levels in the promotion of equity and sustainable development.
USCAN was established in March 1989 as a result of the recognition by organizations working in the international climate negotiations of the need for a forum in which to come together through regular meetings and communication to effect change in a coordinated way. USCAN has since expanded to include nearly 60 advocacy organizations from across the country, facilitating collaboration on common strategies at the state, regional, federal and international levels. USCAN includes a broad cross-section of advocates, with members from environmental, faith, student, environmental justice and local government organizations and plays a critical role in connecting groups working at all levels to set common priorities and ensure coordinated constituency outreach, corporate engagement, policy advocacy and media outreach.
