ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
Charlotte Mecklenburg Climate Leaders (CMCL) is a broad coalition of Charlotte-area organizations and individuals working to ensure the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and its municipalities set ambitious climate goals and successfully meet them. Together we are improving the health of our communities by advocating for equitable clean energy, carbon-reduction strategies, and climate justice.
OUR STORY
​In early 2018, the Charlotte City Council invited local leaders from the environmental, health, faith, justice, business, and government sectors to provide input on a suite of climate-related policies and commitments that eventually became the Sustainable and Resilient Charlotte by 2050 Resolution and the Strategic Energy Action Plan (SEAP). The community stakeholders organized themselves as the Charlotte Mecklenburg Climate Leaders (CMCL) and began meeting monthly at CleanAIRE NC’s Charlotte office.
Five years later, CMCL has evolved to include individuals, organizations, and other key stakeholders. Meetings are held quarterly, with committee meetings occurring on a monthly basis and monthly newsletters keeping all members up-to-date.
