About Climate Action Rhode Island
Climate Action Rhode Island (CARI) is a volunteer-led community organization committed to building awareness and inspiring action on climate change. We believe that informed, connected people can drive meaningful change—whether through local clean-energy initiatives, public education, or civic participation. Our members come from every corner of Rhode Island, united by a shared goal: protecting our planet and our communities for generations to come. New members are warmly welcome!
🌿 What We Do
Community Learning and Dialogue
We host free, open community meetings—both in person and online—where neighbors, experts, and local leaders come together to talk about climate change, renewable energy, and what we can do to make a difference. Each event is a chance to learn, share ideas, and build a stronger, more informed community.
Encouraging Civic Participation
We keep our members informed about important legislative and regulatory issues that impact our environment and energy future. By sharing clear, factual updates and resources, we help individuals take part in the public process—like attending hearings, writing comments, or sharing their perspectives with decision-makers.
Raising Awareness Together
At times, we organize community gatherings and peaceful events to shine a spotlight on renewable energy and climate issues that matter locally. These events bring people together to learn, connect, and amplify awareness—always focused on constructive, educational engagement.
🌱 Our Goals
We’re working toward:
- A rapid transition to 100% renewable energy
- An end to new fossil-fuel infrastructure that locks us into an unsustainable future.
- Support for climate research, innovation, land preservation, and green jobs that sustain people and the planet.
- Climate and environmental justice in every community, ensuring that all Rhode Islanders share in the benefits of a clean-energy future.
