CSCCC provides a networking platform for civil society organizations, climate experts, academia, researchers, media, the private sector and concerned citizens for exchanging ideas, developing synergies and building strategies for effective engagement with policy makers. The action will take a long term approach for stepping up civil society role in informing, engaging and connecting with the government as policy enablers and using cross pollination lessons from policy and research to capture and synthesize partner learning into products that feed results into policy planning for translating political commitment into reality.
