Education is the
first intervention.
CCIM educates, encourages, and organizes the global populace against the growing threat of manmade climate change.
We support and promote research-based historical and present-day education on the impact of burning fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas — through information sharing, peer-reviewed data, advocacy, economic development, and participation in public climate policy design.
Our Vision
An engaged and
courageous community.
We envision a world where people actively reduce their own climate impact, live with renewed connection to the natural world, and work together to build a resilient and sustainable future for our planet.
Our Purpose
What we do.
To ignite a global movement for change through action, awareness, and leadership.
To harness the power of people, business, and policy to build a sustainable and equitable world by advancing the climate movement.
Key Objectives
How the work
gets done.
Original research & resources
Share resources and develop original content about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to global warming.
Historical context
Contextual information placing human-caused global warming in historical and geographic perspective — from Silent Spring to the EU Green Claims Directive.
Practical knowledge
Tools that enable individual and collective action: the 7 Sins framework, the certifications glossary, and proof-led claim patterns.
How We Help Brands
From claim to evidence.
Four ways we work with brands that want their climate messaging to hold up under scrutiny.
Messaging Audit
We review your brand voice for greenwashing risk and flag every claim that can't be substantiated.
Campaign Strategy
Campaigns that resonate with climate-conscious audiences and pass regulatory scrutiny.
Impact Reporting
Measure and communicate your sustainability story with verified, dated data.
Partner Network
Connect with vetted green partners, certification bodies, and suppliers.
