What is a Climate Coalition?

A Climate Coalition is a group or alliance of organizations, communities, or individuals working together to address climate change. These coalitions often bring together environmental groups, businesses, policymakers, and concerned citizens to advocate for policies, raise awareness, and implement solutions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainability. Their activities may include organizing campaigns, lobbying governments, supporting renewable energy initiatives, and fostering collaboration across different sectors. The main goal of a Climate Coalition is to amplify collective impact in the fight against climate change.
