Description/notes

CAN-Rac Canada is the only network in the country that brings labour, development, faith-based, and Indigenous groups together with the key national, provincial, and territorial environmental organizations working on climate change. The network plays a critical role in helping Canadian organizations understand and respond to climate change impacts and policies, across Canada and around the world, to coordinate efforts for the greatest impact.

CAN-Rac Canada is unique in the Canadian climate movement because it is the only organization with a mandate to promote the climate movement as a whole, rather than the interests and programs of any one organization. Across the entire global community represented by Climate Action Network-International, CAN-Rac Canada is the only national body that brings climate, energy, and environmental organizations together with the many communities of interest that are affected by climate impacts, and can have a hand in building climate solutions.
