USCAN
Climate Action Network

The US Climate Action Network (USCAN) was founded in 1989 to coordinate US non-governmental organization (NGO) voices in UN climate negotiations. In the 90’s, USCAN expanded its work to coordinate with state and local groups to help with national and international engagement. USCAN is currently an increasingly diverse, vital, and growing network of 160 member organizations dedicated to advancing climate action.

USCAN’s vision is a powerful, inclusive, diverse, interconnected, nimble US climate movement that operates effectively from local to global scales towards promoting: a renewable energy future; an end to fossil fuels and net greenhouse gas emissions; prepared and resilient communities; equitable and just transitions. USCAN is the US node of CAN International. CAN International is a worldwide network of over 950 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in more than 110 countries.
