Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund (CCAN AF) is committed to advancing public policies that fight climate change across their region and beyond. Their Maryland team is working diligently to maintain Maryland's leadership as a national champion maintaining a steady pace in greenhouse gas emissions reductions, clean energy investments, and dedicated climate funding. Right now, CCAN AF is leading the advocacy for a state policy initiative: the Abundant, Affordable Clean Energy Act. This bill codifies clean energy solutions that will help ease Maryland's resource adequacy concerns and proposes ratepayer protections that will lower utility bills.

National Caucus of Environmental Legislators

$50,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!

Ten years ago, zero states had truly bold climate policies. Today, nearly half have 100% clean energy, carbon neutrality, or cap and invest laws. This was made possible primarily by strategic peer-to-peer organizing between state legislators around the country, driven by key champions through the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, a network of 1,200 legislators across 50 states. For over 25 years, NCEL’s proven model of legislators empowering legislators has enabled a myriad of environmental victories, including the boldest climate laws. Funds raised will support a tactical pivot to overcome federal opposition and push the boundaries of state climate action.
