The Global Campaign for Climate Action (GCCA) brings together a diverse range of national and international organizations and social movements in a bold and effective initiative to mobilize civil society and galvanize public opinion to avoid catastrophic climate change and support the adaptation efforts of communities most affected by climate change, through national and international policies, corporate commitments and individual actions. Formed initially to focus on the 2009 climate summit in Copenhagen, in 2010 the GCCA developed an ambitious 5-year alliance strategy.
The GCCA is registered as a non-profit organization in Québec, and is funded by various private and public sources from around the world. See www.gc-ca.org for more information on GCCA and www.tcktcktck.org for more information on our partners and campaigns.
