Our mission: Collaborate to reduce impacts of climate change and build sustainable communities in Waldo County.
Our goals:
Our goal is to reach out broadly across our County's demographic and socioeconomic diversity to address: climate impact response and mitigation, renewable energy transition, weatherization, land restoration and conservation, food insecurity, transportation, public health and other impacts of climate.

This project is building upon previous and parallel efforts of all of the member organizations. As a coalition of many organizations we are excited to amplify our respective organizational efforts by working together.

(Where to put this?)
Inspired by / meeting the goals of ME’s 4 year climate action plan, Maine Won’t Wait. Although we have a county wide focus we do have considerable energy around Belfast Climate Action Plan.

Our story:
The Waldo County Climate Action Coalition (WCCAC) grew out of a three year Institute of
Museum and Library Services Federal Grant project of the Belfast Free Library, the All of Belfast Climate Dialogues (ABCD). ABCD focused on encouraging community conversations and education about the climate crisis. At the final ABCD presentation, many participants expressed an interest in continuing to work together for community climate action. (see link to webpage) ABCD was the springboard for WCCAC to come together as a coalition to take action by issuing an invitation to multiple organizations to meet in November of 2023. Over twenty-five people attended the first meeting and we have been meeting monthly since.
