About Community Climate Change (CCC)

Community Climate Change organizes "Global Warming Cafés" which bring together people in neighbourhoods to share thoughts, feelings and strategies for personal and collective action. It is a forum and a 'vehicle' for connecting people and organizations that are concerned and want to do something.

Global Warming Café Purpose and Strategy.

To mobilize a community response to climate change by helping people, in a 3-hour café, at tables of 5-9 persons, to:

  1. express and share their feelings and personal ideas, negative and positive (empowering), about climate change;
  2. take personal action in one or more of three areas
    a) reducing carbon consumption;
    b) promoting positive legislative and political change; and/or
    c) engaging in personal spiritual or creative transformation
  3. join or form a neighborhood team of 6 to 10 people, an Eco-team, that works together to take action on climate change. Eco-Team projects include such actions as reducing household or neighbourhood energy consumption, promoting legislative or political initiatives, and engaging in personal, spiritual, or creative work.

We invite individuals and organizations to grow and develop their understanding of the issues, and meet others to support their initiatives/activities through these forums. If you want to

  • share your ideas
  • actively reflect with others in your community
  • help introduce new people to climate change issues
  • find ways to take practical steps forward
  • help develop networks of engaged people
  • develop your own Café and need some help
  • become part of the Global Warming Café movement

we encourage you to attend the next forum!
