ABOUT CLIMATE CHALLENGE
The Campus Climate Challenge
is the primary campaign of the Energy Action Coalition. The Challenge
unites students to win 100% clean energy policies on their campuses.
The Challenge is a three-year campaign of the Energy Action Coalition
located on more than 700 high school and college campuses throughout
the U.S. and Canada. Through its 45 organizational members, Energy
Action Coalition is fueling a youth movement to stop global warming and
climate change. The Challenge was designed to build a presence on
targeted campuses where large numbers of students can be engaged and
activated to help achieve campus victories and to build a long-term
organizing structure. By working together in partnership with students
to reduce the carbon emissions of their campuses down to zero, we help
to provide real world models for other students, elected officials,
