Climate change is a top concern in Arizona. Rising temperatures have changed much of its landscapes, threatening residents and wildlife. We’re working to reduce America’s emissions — fast. Can you help? As a CCL volunteer, you’ll work with fellow concerned Arizonians to address climate change.
Volunteer for the Environment
Arizona’s natural beauty and outdoor wonder, as well as the jobs, businesses, and homes of its residents, are in danger. Every day Arizonians feel the financial repercussions of climate change and its negative impacts in their local communities. Fortunately, there’s a way to help.
Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization with volunteer chapters throughout Arizona. Our largest chapter is in Phoenix. We also have new chapters starting in the Tempe, Mesa, Tucson, Scottsdale, and Flagstaff areas.
We welcome all Arizonians who are serious about solving climate change. You bring your energy, and willingness to work collaboratively with others on solutions. We’ll help you turn your alarm about climate change into action – influencing real decisions locally and in Washington, D.C. that will impact Arizona’s environment.
