CHARLESTON CLIMATE COALITION

We are here to create compassionate communities that address the root causes of climate change.

About us

Charleston Climate Coalition (CCC) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots group of Lowcountry citizens working creatively and compassionately to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. CCC works on many fronts to expand awareness, and as a coalition we create the connective tissues so that citizens, organizations, and elected officials can address the root causes of climate change.
