Lobbying and Conferences
What's it like to travel to Washington D.C. to learn about climate change solutions and lobby Congress? This short documentary follows a retired veteran from Virginia, a tech writer from Louisiana, and a university student and her mother from Texas as they participate in CCL's June climate change conference and lobby day 2018.

CCL’s conferences are inspiring, empowering, and life-changing. The last in-person Citizens’ Climate International Conference welcomed more than 1200 concerned citizens to Washington D.C.. Our virtual conference in 2020 had over 4000 registered participants.

Scholarships for students
CCL offers a limited number of scholarships to students to attend CCL’s national conference in Washington DC. Scholarships range from partial discount for registration, to stipends for lodging and travel. CCL fellows, campus leaders, and interns receive free registration to CCL conferences. Scholarships are also available to students of color, conservatives, and emerging leaders.
Dr. Natasha DeJarnett, policy analyst at the American Public Health Association, talks about the effects of climate change on public health.
Due to the current pandemic, all conferences are virtual and free to attend. When in-person conferences are safe, grant opportunities will resume.
