Welcome to the membership portal of the Cameroon Climate Change Working Group

JOIN US – CAMEROON CLIMATE CHANGE WORKING GROUP/PACJA CAMEROON

The Cameroon Climate Change Working Group (3CWG) is a coalition of civil society organizations in Cameroon, brought together by the common goal of promoting and advocating for climate-friendly and equity-based development. Drawing its membership from
Non-governmental organizations,
Foundations, Trusts, Community-based organizations, faith-based networks, national coalitions and regional networks; 3CWG aims to unify isolated civil society efforts on climate change advocacy and coordination in Cameroon, so as to ensure that pro-poor and people-centred response measures are put into consideration as the Cameroon government seeks to mainstream climate change into national development strategies.
In pursuing its mandate, 3CWG collaborates and encourages strategic alliances with international partners, national governments, regional governmental bodies, and individuals sharing its aspirations, to ensure that the Cameroonian voice is amplified in global climate change dialogue processes. The Alliance works with like-minded partners from the North and the South, so as to ensure that the resultant framework agreed upon by the community of nations after the conclusion of the ongoing, yet acrimonious international climate change dialogue process is not only equitable but also a product of massive consultation, responsive to the realities of vulnerable communities.
