Catalyzing climate action at the community level through collaboration, programs, and policy advocacy.
About us
We believe the power to confront climate change resides within our communities. We believe citizens, businesses, and local governments have the power to take action, implement policy, and reduce emissions right here in our own backyard of Central Virginia. C3 catalyzes climate action at the community level through collaboration, programs, and advocacy which directly reduce climate emissions and elevate the climate leadership of Virginia communities. We work closely with citizens, businesses, local governments, schools, and nonprofits to develop climate action plans which build in equity while drastically reducing climate pollution. These plans include tangible and measurable actions that are accessible to any individual or organization's needs. We believe that C3's action at the local level can serve as a model for community climate action throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.

The story behind the panels 💒🌞 Solar is for everyone, but that doesn't mean it came easily for Charlottesville First United Methodist Church. After their initial proposal was denied by the city, FUMC fought alongside our wonderful partner, The Community Climate Collaborative, for their right to affordable energy. 👏 🔹 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eRrt-2xP Thanks for the great write-up, The Daily Progress & Central Virginia Media Group.
