About Us
For conservatives, by conservatives— Protecting Canada's land, water, and prosperity is a conservative cause.
The Canadian Conservative Environment Network (CCEN) is a national non-profit organization committed to advancing environmental leadership that reflects conservative principles. Founded to fill a growing gap in Canada's political landscape, CCEN is the country’s only environmental network built by and for conservatives.
​
We believe that conservation and conservatism are not only compatible—they're inseparable. Our work supports elected officials, staffers, candidates, media influencers, and grassroots leaders across Canada's conservative movements who are ready to lead on climate, conservation, and clean energy without compromising their values.
As a Canadian national environmental network built by and for conservatives, CCEN is paving the way for balanced dialogue that is decades in the making.
We exist to support and promote:
-
A strong, resilient, sovereign Canada
-
Conservative-led environmental stewardship
-
Market-based solutions that reward innovation and efficiency
-
Economic freedom as a catalyst for clean growth
-
Rural and resource-based communities as co-creators of environmental policy
​
Our role is to equip conservatives with the tools they need to lead from within for the benefit of all Canadians and for future generations.
CANADA NEEDS CONSERVATIVE LEADERS
Conservatives have a notable history of taking leadership on environmental issues within Canada and have always understood the importance of protecting what we inherit. Principles like personal responsibility, intergenerational duty, and careful, efficient governance are essential core values that we all hold.
However, environmental policy has largely been shaped by progressive voices. As a result, many conservatives feel that they are not free to speak about issues around climate, conservation, or clean energy. But we know that it’s not only progressives who care about our land. Conservatives care just as much, they’ve just lacked a safe place to engage on these topics.
CCEN exists to open that door by working to support conservative leaders across the country, supporting those who are ready to step-up and bring serious, values-driven solutions to the table in order to make Canada a leader on the global stage once again.
The time is now for the next generation of conservative leaders to help shape future policy, one that reflects both our environmental obligations and our economic strengths. Canada deserves leaders who care about the vibrant tapestry we call home; Canada needs conservatives who are willing to take a stand for a strong, resilient, self-reliant country.
