CamdenCAN formed in June 2023 by a group of citizens concerned that Camden’s leaders were not talking about — or responding to — the climate crisis and its impact on the town. Since inception, the organization, led by a steering committee, has: 
 
Published a biweekly e-letter sharing the latest climate science and opportunities for local engagement; Created the Camden Talks Climate series. You can find these videos at the CPL YouTube channel: “Camden, the Climate Crisis and You,” “Where Does Camden Stand On Climate Action?” and “Achieving Climate Resilience in Coastal Communities.” At the Town of Camden YouTube channel you can find “Plugging Into Solar,” “Where Do Camden’s Neighbors Stand on Climate Action?” (Search “CamdenCAN” to find those videos.)

Hosted Climate Conversation Circles on the first and third Thursdays of the month, at the CPL. The group talks about climate science, climate anxiety, climate action — anything that comes up — and get to know the neighbors who are also climate-concerned.
