Climate Care

For more than 20 years, the Council has been a member of the Environmental Priorities Coalition, an inclusive statewide alliance of 39 conservation, climate action and public health organizations. Each year, the EPC collectively identifies a slate of policy priorities to act on the climate crisis, further environmental justice, protect land, water and wildlife, and cultivate healthy Maine communities.

For more information about the full slate of nine bills on the EPC Common Agenda for the 132d Legislature’s first session (2025), go to: https://www.protectmaine.org/environmental-priorities-coalition/priorities/

In 2025, the Maine Council of Churches Public Policy Committee will focus on three of the EPC priority bills:
Recognize Wabanaki Self-Determination
Energy Fairness Act
Cut Pollution by Increasing Clean Transportation Options
