Purpose and aims

Climate Alliance comprise some 2,000 members from more than 25 countries, as of December 2025. [1] Each member aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at their source. Their allies are the indigenous peoples of the rainforests. The indigenous partners are represented by COICA, the Coordination of Indigenous Organisations of the nine neighbouring countries of the Amazon Basin.

By joining Climate Alliance, cities and municipalities embrace the association's goals: [2]

Foundation pillars of local climate protection are energy savings and efficient energy use as well as Renewable energy sources and environment-friendly mobility. Climate Alliance advises cities and municipalities on the implementation of climate protection strategies and develops recognised tools for standardised recording of energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, Climate Alliance develops and coordinates projects and campaigns, which address different target groups. Besides of its own activities Climate Alliance is partner of further campaigns and steps also into political actions. On national and international level it stands up for European local authorities engaged in climate protection and supports organisations of Indigenous peoples.
