About Us
See Our GiftsOverview
Clean Air-Cool Planet (CA-CP) is a science-based, non-partisan, non-profit organization finding and promoting solutions to global warming. CA-CP works with companies, campuses, communities and science centers to reduce their carbon emissions - helping partners, their constituents, and other opinion leaders and stakeholders understand global warming’s impacts and best available solutions. CA-CP’s comprehensive outreach efforts celebrate commitment, innovation and success in climate action.
Mission
Clean Air-Cool Planet creates partnerships in the Northeast to implement solutions to climate change and build constituencies for effective climate policies and actions.
Program
Three core programs center on greenhouse gas reductions and climate leadership with corporations, communities and campuses. We also run the Northeast Science Center Collaborative, the Carbon Coalition, and a robust Science Outreach program.
In all of our programs, we showcase practical climate solutions that demonstrate the economic opportunities and environmental benefits associated with early actions on climate change.
Impact
Since our beginning in 1999, CA-CP has helped more than 200 leading companies, communities, and campuses reduce their greenhouse gas emissions; today our partners are eliminating 1,000,000 tons annually. In addition, we’ve created effective outreach programs to educate and mobilize thousands of Northeast citizens to seek global warming solutions within their own communities and households as well through state and regional policy.
