EJCC is a diverse, consensus-based group of U.S. environmental justice, climate justice, religious, policy, and advocacy groups.

Global warming impacts human lives—particularly people of color, low-income families, and indigenous communities. It compromises our health and causes unjust financial burdens and social and cultural disruptions. Moreover, those who are most affected are least responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions that cause the problem—both globally and within the United States.

EJCC organizes national and international action for just climate change policies, educates young people about the science of climate change, and trains youth to become activists in their communities. EJCC also provides support to organizations throughout the country as they incorporate climate change into their struggles for justice.
