ABOUT

ecoAmerica builds institutional leadership, public support, and political will for climate solutions in the United States.

We help national mainstream organizations elevate their climate leadership, providing them strategy, tools and resources to:

Demonstrate Visible Climate Leadership
Empower Climate Literacy
Engage all Constituents
Build Collective Action and Advocacy

In two years, we help our partners permanently transform into national climate leaders who inspire others on solutions and commit to climate neutrality.

WHO WE ARE

We’re building a diverse network of major institutions and thought leaders in five sectors – faith, health, communities, higher education, and business – who have the power to inspire tens of millions of Americans on climate change, in counties and communities nationwide including our heartland.
