USCAN Mission Statement

The overall goal of the US Climate Action Network (USCAN) is to promote government, corporate, community and individual action to limit global warming to ecologically sustainable levels. In pursuit of this goal, the objectives of USCAN are:

• To facilitate collaborative action by USCAN members, members of the international Climate Action Network, and other organizations to promote effective solutions to the threat of global warming.

• To formulate policy options and, whenever possible, joint positions and advocacy strategies on global warming policy issues.
•  To promote substantial reductions in domestic greenhouse gas emissions at the federal, state, and local level needed to avoid dangerous climate change.
•  To support the strengthening of multilateral efforts and commitments by countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol.
