Advocacy Days reinforced something I’ve been learning over time: effective advocacy isn’t just about passion. It’s about showing up, even when the outcome is uncertain, and trusting that the act of engagement itself has value.

Everyone has a pathway into climate action. If we can match powerful storytelling with real investment, I am confident we’ll unlock the full potential of the next generation of climate leaders.

The air was thick and humid on an early February morning when I finally touched down in Colombo, Sri Lanka. As I exited the airport doors, I was hit with a flood of familiar memories that only grew in the coming days. In almost every way – the cool sea breeze, the smell of afternoon rains and food-laced thick with familiar spices and coconut – Sri Lanka brought me back to my early childhood spent in the idyllic, verdant foothills of Kerala on India’s southwest coast. Yet the

We know how much the President loves awards, so we’re creating a new one for him! Let’s examine the myths vs facts on coal.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, many of us reach for chocolates. But the climate crisis is fundamentally altering the products we love and the industries that provide them.

This month, we honor a living tradition of Black scientists, climatologists, and movement leaders who have dedicated their lives to decoding the laws of nature and the structures of justice.

As we step into a new year, Dr. Ife Kilimanjaro invites us into a space of deep introspection as she reflects on the challenges and triumphs of the past year. With heartfelt gratitude for the USCAN community, she outlines a vision for the year ahead that is both practical and restorative, reminding us that while the road ahead is steep, the strength of our community lies in our transition from passive optimism to a "disciplined hope" fueled by collective action and the protec

This week marks both MLK Day and a year into Trump’s second term. Environmental justice, civil rights, and democratic norms are under coordinated attack – how should we respond?

The United States may withdraw from the United Nations. It may withdraw from the IPCC. But it cannot withdraw from the climate crisis it helped create, nor from the human rights impacts now unfolding across the globe.

We face a stark, urgent choice: climate action now for the collective benefit of all OR continued inaction and prosperity for an elite.

What kind of impact can nonprofits unlock when we center trust-building and resource-sharing? Mark Magaña, Founding President and CEO of GreenLatinos, calls that–and networks like USCAN–a "force multiplier."

We are the U.S. Climate Action Network . Together with our members and people like YOU, we are driving bold and equitable climate action by accelerating collective impact from the local level to the global scale. How, you ask? By leading collective climate action today, tomorrow, and beyond as we work towards a future where all people and ecosystems thrive, with justice and self-determination for communities most impacted by the climate crisis. Right now , USCAN is supporti

Rising global temperatures fed by increases in atmospheric carbon levels are resulting in more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods and storms. The impacts of climate catastrophes disproportionately burden marginalized communities who have historically contributed the least to the crisis, exacerbating existing inequalities. Despite decades of work among organizations to slow, and eventually reverse, global warming, the problem persists. Fortunately, th

COP30 delivered a long-sought victory for a Just Transition, but extremely weak outcomes on adaptation and a fossil fuel phaseout. Cover image by Sami Dellah

Dear reader, As I write this message, I’m sitting in my home office in Western Montana, looking out my window at the gray skies and fallen leaves that portend the beginnings of winter. And yet, my spirit (and indeed my jetlagged brain) are thousands of miles away in tropical Belém, Brazil, where the UN climate talks are entering the final stretch. And so, I am thinking of the many US Climate Action Network (USCAN) members who are still at the talks – staying up late at night

While U.S. state governors take the stage at COP30, they continue promoting extractive policies back home. Feleecia Guillen issues a call for bold action to those who claim the mantle of climate leadership: end fossil fuels, invest in a just transition, and protect communities.

Only a fraction of countries have submitted their new climate plans, and they’re nowhere near ambitious enough. Here’s what you need to know from the UN’s latest NDC Synthesis Report.

By leveraging the combined expertise, resources, and lived experiences of every voice through collective action, we not only confront the forces of division, we prove that a just, equitable, and sustainable future is not merely possible - it is inevitable.
