CEC’s Climate Stewards Certification Program

CEC’s Climate Stewards certification program empowers individuals to advance equitable climate solutions in their communities. By building a groundswell of grassroots action, we can move the needle on climate change.

About the Course

Taking bold measures to stop the climate crisis requires the work of many — non-profit leaders, professionals, recent college graduates, retirees, and community members — to work together. CEC’s Climate Stewards program is designed to provide participants with the tools needed to take individual and collective action that makes an impact. Learn more.
