Our Vision
The Vision for Equitable Climate Action (VECA) is a comprehensive vision for tackling the climate crisis drafted by members of the US Climate Action Network (USCAN) Equitable and Ambitious Climate Vision Action Team. Over nearly two years, more than 175 people from at least 106 USCAN member organizations participated in developing the VECA platform through a transparent, inclusive process. Not all USCAN members agree on every detail in the platform, but all support its urgency, scale, ambition and focus on justice. The platform will be updated annually in response to new developments or perspectives. To download a copy of the VECA platform and find additional information resources, visit www.equitableclimateaction.org.
