Our Work
The Charleston Climate Coalition is a nonprofit grassroots group of Lowcountry citizens fighting for Charleston to lead globally in climate action. We bring together activists, experts, and artists to campaign for and implement local and equitable solutions to the climate crisis like green buildings, public transportation, walk/bike infrastructure, protected wetlands, urban green infrastructure, composting, clean energy, and more.
Our Work
Art and Storytelling
If all it took to build a movement were to tell people how bad things are, we’d have solved the climate crisis decades ago. So, we’re building community and inspiration through sophisticated media. We publish a quarterly magazine, Surge, that shares local climate storytelling through Charleston City Paper. Check out all of our latest issues of Surge.
Events and Celebrations
Along with our monthly meetings - to educate and organize our members - we also hold creative events like our Tour de Earth Day bike ride ecotour to connect people with our partners and their work. Our events are educational and often celebrate the amazing work that is being done throughout the Lowcountry to address the climate crisis.
Campaigns & Programs
So much effective climate action is local. We’ve passed climate action resolutions in James Island and Charleston County, helped develop, fund, and staff the Charleston Climate Action Plan, and are seeding Environmental Advisory Committees across the Lowcountry. We’re dedicated to cultivating local climate action at every level. Right now, we’re pushing for more CAP funding in Charleston’s next budget cycle and getting involved with the Charleston County CAP – that way, we can ensure the Lowcountry becomes a leader in the Southeast on climate action.
