We are Europe’s leading NGO coalition fighting the climate crisis.
We promote ambitious climate, energy and development policies throughout Europe.
What we do
CAN Europe empowers civil society organisations to influence the design and development of effective climate change policy in Europe, both in the European Union as well as in its Member States and in European countries outside the EU.
Take action
CAN Europe and its network gives a voice to communities most affected by the climate crisis — especially young people, frontline communities, and people and groups demanding stronger climate action.
Campaigns
Our campaigns turn people’s voices into action. Working with our network and partners, we raise awareness, mobilise communities and influence policy to implement a fair and just transition for Europe.
Members
CAN Europe Membership is open to non-governmental/ community based non-profit organisations, situated in Europe, which have an interest in the promotion of sustainable development and are active in, or have a focus on, climate change issues. Find out more about how to join us.
