Demanding and building local climate action.
We advocate, we organize, and we build.
The planet needs us to do it all.

Want to speak up for your community and push for climate action? Our Municipal Deputation Workbook is here to help you do just that!
This workbook will guide you through how to clearly express your concerns, build strong arguments backed by research, and speak with confidence. Plus, you'll get to connect with others who care about the same things you do.
The CCC Low-Carbon Spring Cookbook aims to promote a low-carbon diet to everyone, as a way to protect the environment from your own kitchens. The cookbook offers accessible and inclusive recipes suitable for a wide range of dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, lactose-free, and peanut-free options.
The Climate Hub aims to develop research, visualize critical data, and develop a central database for everyone to access climate datasets and policies.
The hub will produce work through research articles, papers, infographics, webinars, etc. We will be using the medium through the climate science database, climate policy database, climate commentaries, FAQ page, and feedback/discussion forums.
Although there are spaces for activists to engage and empower one another to tackle the climate crisis, few spaces address the adverse effects of the climate crisis on our collective psyche. Our Climate Café is a safe and supportive space for community members to come together and chat about climate change and its connection to the human experience, notably the intersections between mental health and climate anxiety, ecological grief, and more.
Do you have an idea for a specific theme for a Climate Café? Do you want to partner with us on a Climate Café?
We created signage that guided community members on a hike in 3 parks in Brampton. The signage highlighted various flora and fauna that is found natively in our natural spaces that are often overlooked.
The signs featured the species names in Ojibwe to remind the community of our collective responsibility to take care of the land. This is one of the many ways that allies can take a step towards reconciliation in their personal lives. These signs are available for you to rent/use at your next outdoor event or school! Contact us for more information.
Join us each week as we discuss a variety of topics centred around environmental activism and climate change. Most episodes will feature a guest from an affiliated organization that’s tackling climate change in their own neighbourhood. If you’re interested in being featured on an upcoming episode, send us a message.
Our Climate Our Stories is a compilation of essays, stories, and poems written by Black, Indigenous, and youth of color from Canada. This e-book was developed to amplify diverse voices on emotions related to climate change, as well as journeys and experiences, communication, impacts and climate action.
Camp Climate was a digital event series promoting climate literacy, civic engagement, and political advocacy. We made this digital camp in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide the community with a series of fun events, challenges, and opportunities to engage with topics relating to all things climate.
This series involved panel discussion, keynote speakers, workshops, and even an art contest that got submissions from around the globe. This event series was made possible with support from Taking It Global through a Rising Youth community grant.
This youth art gallery initiative was compiled from submissions from our Plastic Free July art contest. This contest was a part of Camp Climate, our digital event series described above.
We were amazed to see all of the incredible submissions from across the globe. This gallery is now concluded, but don't worry because we are working away on Epoch zine, which will feature some of these incredible submissions and their stories.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

The CCC made history in September 2019 when it organized Peel Region’s first-ever climate strike in Brampton, Ontario where over 250 residents came to support. We wanted underrepresented BIPOC and marginalized groups, such as residents in Peel region to have a voice in the global movement. This is why each year, during the global climate strikes, we provide a platform for Peel to be heard and seen when it comes to local climate action and our willingness to demand change. In addition, the CCC can be seen supporting other rallies such as Stop Highway 413 and two Hands off The Greenbelt rallies which received coverage from CP24 and OMNI television.
The Community Climate Council is a registered, non-charitable not-for-profit. This means that we, unfortunately, cannot issue charitable receipts for tax deduction purposes.
