cci Action

CCI Action elevates the movement for climate accountability, empowers candidates and lawmakers to take action, and helps elect state and local climate leaders who are committed to holding Big Oil accountable for their decades of climate denial and disinformation.

Big oil and gas companies learned decades ago that their products would fuel climate change. Instead of doing what they could to mitigate what they knew would be a “catastrophic” crisis, they pivoted to a decades-long campaign of doubt, denial, and disinformation designed to undermine the scientific consensus on climate change, delay climate action, and block the adoption of renewable energy. Now, communities are paying billions of dollars to adapt to and recover from the damages caused by climate change.

The climate accountability movement is grounded in the notion that those who are most responsible for fueling the climate crisis and lying about it should pay their fair share for the harm they knowingly caused.
