The Chesapeake Climate Action Network is a small nonprofit based in Takoma Park, Maryland, dedicated to addressing global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. It pursues this aim through grassroots organizing that mobilizes local residents to influence climate-related policy at the state, national, and international levels, with the goal of climate stability. Its activities target residents and local policymakers in the Maryland–Virginia–DC region, focusing on policy changes that address climate risks. The organization engages communities through campaigns and events that support climate policy efforts, including public gatherings in Takoma Park. In 2025, CCAN marked its 20th annual Polar Bear Plunge in Takoma Park.
