ENERGY ACTION COALITION

Energy Action Coalition is a coalition of 50 youth-led environmental and social justice groups working together to build the youth clean energy and climate movement. Working with hundreds of campus and youth groups, dozens of youth networks, and hundreds of thousands of young people, Energy Action Coalition and its partners have united a burgeoning movement behind winning local victories and coordinating on state, regional, and national levels in the United States and Canada.

Since May 2005, Energy Action Coalition has united young people in working for a clean and just energy future through collaborative campaigns, including the Campus Climate Challenge and Power Vote 2008. They convened the first two national youth climate summits, Power Shift 2007 and Power Shift 2009, which brought our movement and our message to Washington D.C. in an unprecedented way.

Energy Action Coalition is committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement to solve the climate crisis and address environmental and economic injustice.  They strive to follow the Principles of Environmental Justice, the People of Color Environmental Justice Principles of Working Together, the Bali Principles of Climate Justice, and the 10 Principles for Just Climate Change Policy in the U.S.
