Welcome! We’re always excited to see people exploring the idea of membership. We are convinced that the climate and ecological crises require deep collaboration across societies, and civil society has a major role to play in building bridges, forming alliances and working together to ensure a future for all.
We also believe that Climate Action Network Europe is a fundamental building block in that process of interconnecting organisations and raising our collective voice. Strengthening the Network is a constant process and we have a dedicated Secretariat committed to bringing Brussels to you and your voice and work to Brussels.
Our diverse and growing Network is a testament to the benefits and rewards of collective objectives and collaborative working structures – every member plays a part in the development of the Network and there is a space for your organisation as well.
If you’re interested to read more on how to apply and what the benefits are then please see the documents below.

What members say about CAN Europe
In recent years SEO/BirdLife has become more involved in climate change and energy policy within Spain and at EU and global level. CAN Europe membership has brought us various important benefits: we understand better the EU and global policy agendas; we have genuine opportunities to bring a Spanish perspective to CAN debates; and we use and adapt CAN positions to influence policy and action within Spain. Thanks also to CAN, we are now building greater SEO/BirdLife capacity on these issues, which benefits the debate in Spain, the wider CAN network, and the climate.

Focus Association for Sustainable Development is a Slovenian environmental non governmental organisation active in the fields of climate change, energy, mobility, global responsibility, consumption and degrowth. As Slovenian climate and energy policies are to a large degree being shaped at the EU level, CAN Europe membership makes it possible for us to get involved in this process. Provided with timely information on processes and content of EU level debates, as well as with expert analysis and argumentation that CAN Europe offers to its members we can get involved in advocacy work related to EU policies at national and EU level. Membership in CAN Europe also provides useful exchange of ideas and experience among members, which is helpful for our activities and campaigns.

Germanwatch is an independent development and environment expert organisation. As the EU’s policies are essential for reaching the global climate targets and better living conditions for people worldwide Germanwatch engages in EU policy making both in Berlin and Brussels. Being an active member of CAN Europe is a huge advantage for us in this endeavour. And let’s not forget the joint publication of our Climate Change Performance Index. Thanks to CAN Europe the index outcomes reach a wide European audience.
