The influence of the fossil fuel lobby extends to obstructing progress on climate action in multilateral spaces, working through vested interests at the national level to delay action on climate change, funding strategies on climate denialism and by rejecting and obfuscating climate science.
By the end of 2020, governments, particularly the largest emitters, committed more than $250 billion to fossil fuels as part of their Covid19 economic stimulus plans. CAN works to stop the flow of public money into fossil fuel projects and hold governments to account to ensure that Covid19 recovery packages are just and equitable- that they invest in people’s welfare rather than the interests of polluters.

Some of the success stories
#WORLDWEWANT CAMPAIGN
The Climate Action Network #WorldWeWant Campaign on Climate Impacts elevates the voices of communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis, demanding that governments respond with urgent ambition and action to protect people and build resilience. The campaign drives collective action through the stories of communities affected by the climate crisis and serves as a clarion call for governments to address multiple and compounding crises to protect their citizens to ensure a safe and resilient future
Climate CampaignSupport CAN
Help us build power in the climate movement by contributing a one-time or recurring donation that will go to supporting our global work as well as various activities and campaigns in communities in different regions. Through compelling, locally-produced, short smartphone videos we witness how decades of inaction on the climate crisis are impacting people, but also learn how communities are using grassroots solutions in both developing and developed countries to hold their leaders accountable.
