Climate Groups in Sacramento

We believe in a world with a safe climate, where nature is respected and protected, and our social, political, and economic systems work for all people and the planet.

Climate Reality Project – Sacramento chapter. Former US Vice President Al Gore founded The Climate Reality Project to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every sector of society.

We recruit, train, and mobilize people of all walks of life to work for just climate solutions that speed energy transition worldwide and open the door to a better tomorrow for us all.

Today, Climate Reality is a diverse group of passionate individuals who’ve come together to tackle the greatest challenge of our time. We are advocates, cultural leaders, organizers, scientists, and storytellers from around the world, committed to building a sustainable future together.

Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) is a coalition of community-based individuals and organizations throughout the Sacramento region that helps drive a community conversation and promote action. ECOS strives to implement its mission through several approaches.

Our mission is to achieve regional sustainability, livable communities, environmental justice, and a healthy environment and economy for existing and future residents. ECOS strives to bring positive change to the Sacramento region by proactively working with individual and organizational ECOS members, neighborhood groups, and local and regional governments.

Sacramento Climate Coalition is a grassroots alliance of Sacramento groups and individuals working to advance the broader movement for civil rights, justice and our environment, now and in these crucial years ahead.

The Coalition was created in 2016 to fight proposals to bring explosive crude oil through Sacramento neighborhoods on their way to coastal refineries. We won the fight, and decided to expand our focus to the broader set of issues related to climate change as a whole. We have always had leadership from disadvantaged communities located near to the rail lines and are deeply committed to environmental justice.

Over the years the Coalition has grown, and in 2018 we joined the international Climate Emergency campaign, and have been the main force behind Climate Emergency Mobilization in the Sacramento region since. We currently have 34 partners in the Climate Emergency Campaign.

Th!rd Act-Sacramento Working Group is a passionate and determined group of Elders from the greater Sacramento region (and beyond), boldly stepping up to safeguard our democracy and stabilize the climate. 

 It’s our intention to be good ancestors.

Third Actors are committed to leaving a safe planet for current and future generations. Our first campaign is Banking On Our Future. We will put pressure on local and national banks and institutions to stop funding fossil fuel projects. Additionally, we will get involved in local activities that accelerate the equitable transition to a fossil fuel free future.

1) That the Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, it must reverse all policies not in alignment with that position and must work alongside the media to communicate the urgency for change including what individuals, communities and businesses need to do.
2) The Government must enact legally-binding policies to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and take further action to remove the excess of atmospheric greenhouse gases. It must cooperate internationally so that the global economy runs on no more than half a planet’s worth of resources per year.
3) We do not trust our Government to make the bold, swift and long-term changes necessary to achieve these changes and we do not intend to hand further power to our politicians. Instead we demand a Citizens’ Assembly to oversee the changes, as we rise from the wreckage, creating a democracy fit for purpose.
4) We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities for years of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity, and repairs the effects of ongoing ecocide to prevent extinction of human and all species, in order to maintain a livable, just planet for all.
