We have big news! We have a new name: Climate and Community Institute. Our name change reflects the fact that we are here to stay. Today we’re also launching our new website to better showcase and mobilize the cutting-edge research and advocacy we do. climateandcommunity.org In 2019, a group of researchers inspired by the Green New Deal came together to talk about climate futures. When the pandemic hit, they sprung into action, organizing campaigns around a Green Stimulus to Rebuild the Economy and other efforts to make climate advocacy infrastructure a reality. Since its earliest stages, our organization has been led by the desire to bring together movement demands and visionary climate agendas. As we have grown over the past five years—adding our Executive Director Johanna Bozuwa, our core staff, and more academic fellows each year, we have continued to realize our goals of working with movements and progressive policy makers to pass new policy, effectively implement legislation, shift narratives, and deepen coalitions. With our change from a Project to an Institute, we want to let you know we are in it for the long haul. We are ready to continue fighting for a transformational agenda that will rapidly and equitably decarbonize the economy by focusing on material benefits for working people.

Non-profit Organizations
A progressive climate and economy policy think tank producing cutting edge research.
About us
The Climate and Community Project (CCP) is a progressive climate policy think tank that mobilizes a network of 40+ experts producing cutting edge scholarly research to design and win our generation’s determining suite of policy interventions. We advance bold ideas to decarbonize the built environment; reorder systems of political power; and embolden a multiracial working class. Our research has been instrumental in the climate policy space from the local to national level– including defining the planks of the Green New Deal for Public Schools, producing housing research that directly inspired the Whole Homes Repair program passed in Pennsylvania, and changing narratives on supply chain justice and critical minerals with first-of-its-kind modeling. We work with our members to develop timely research and to help drive the conversation around progressive climate policy.
