Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Climate work can feel heavy and hard - and it's an especially hard time to stay committed to climate work, with everything else that is happening around the world right now. It can be challenging to allow for the depth and complicated mix of emotions and thoughts that arise in the process of climate advocacy and otherwise, while remaining committed to action. This training is an opportunity to learn about burnout, how to prevent it, and practice a few of the steps that can help with recognizing and improving your own experience.

Thursday Jan 28, 2021
Join us for the launch event of a new CCL Training pilot - Big Tent Climate Talks, a new, engaging, monthly conversation that spotlights leaders in the climate community outside of CCL doing important work in building coalitions around effective climate solutions.
At CCL, we know solving climate change requires a variety of policies and perspectives. That's why we do this work under a big tent that includes folks from the right, the left, and every spot in between. In our Big Tent Climate Talks, we'll talk to a wide variety of climate leaders outside of CCL to learn more about how we can all work better together.
These talks will take place for 40-45 minutes on the fourth Thursday of every month at 3:00 pm ET / 12:00 pm PT. Our launch event features a conversation with Jamie DeMarco and Quentin Scott of Chesapeake Climate Action Network and Taylor Krause, CCL’s National Partnerships & Coalitions Coordinator.
