Duke Climate Coalition

Founded in 2015 by student fossil fuel divestment activists, the Duke Climate Coalition (DCC) is a leading environmental advocacy organization at Duke University. DCC strives to mobilize student power and leverage Duke University’s institutional influence to create just, high-impact, and system-level progress on climate change. Our campaign-based advocacy model emphasizes campus and community education and inclusion, as well as substantive engagement with decision-makers. We work to increase decision-makers’ ambition on climate action, ensure transparency and fair representation of all stakeholder interests, and hold decision-makers accountable for their climate and social responsibilities.
