The Carbon Cycle Institute (CCI) is focused on building the local and regional capacity across California and other target states to plan, implement and scale agricultural and nature-based climate solutions. CCI’s mission is to stop and reverse global climate change by advancing natural, science-verified, agricultural solutions that reduce atmospheric carbon and sequester carbon in working soils and landscapes, while promoting environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic sustainability.
CCI’s goals: 1) continue advancing ambitious public policies, building coalitions, and advocating for climate goals and the supportive policies, infrastructure, and finance necessary to scale climate-beneficial agriculture; 2) expand farmers’ and ranchers’ access to technical assistance and carbon farming/regenerative agriculture expertise by building networks of agricultural support agencies to facilitate on-the-ground resource sharing and increase technical capacity; 3) support local and regional climate action and resilience planning focused on the integration and scaling of agricultural climate solutions, and 4) help to build a just and equitable food and farming system, working in deep partnership with climate and social justice organizations

Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) mobilizes lawyers to ensure that all levels of government - federal, state, and local- promote equal justice under the law and uphold civil and human rights, including the right to health and the right to live in a healthy environment. We have trained and mobilized thousands of lawyers across the country to fight for these rights through programs that provide life-changing advocacy and direct legal services.
Under the Climate Change and Environmental Justice (CCEJ) program, L4GG's expert staff attorneys direct nationwide pro bono programs that ensure an equitable, just transition to a green economy. These programs aim to advance environmental justice and expedite the shift to clean energy at the state and local level, help disadvantaged communities obtain and safeguard federal funding for climate resilience and clean energy projects, and secure access to clean, affordable drinking water.
