The Campaign against Climate Change (variously abbreviated to CCC or CaCC) is a UK-based pressure group that aims to raise public awareness of anthropogenic climate change through mobilising mass demonstrations. Founded in 2001 in response to President Bush's rejection of the Kyoto protocol, the organisation saw a steady increase in attendance on marches, before a sudden take-off of interest between October - December 2005. An estimated 10,000 people attended its most recent rally in London, on December 3rd, 2005, making this easily the biggest demonstration on climate change in the UK to date.

Furthermore, the December 3rd protests were not confined to the UK, but formed part of the first global day of climate protest, in which CCC played a key role in co-ordinating. The demonstrations, in more than 30 countries around the world, were timed to coincide with the crucial Montreal Climate talks in Canada, at which preliminary agreements were made for a post-Kyoto treaty to take effect after 2012. Outside Montreal itself, a crowd of between 25,000 - 40,000 gathered in a protest organised by the American-based Climate Crisis Coalition.

The Campaign against Climate Change has a network of local groups around the UK, which are currently in the process of being extended. According to the forums of the campaign's website, larger protests are being planned for 2006.

CCC is an example of a growing number of climate-related environmental pressure groups that have developed during the last decade, including organisations like Rising Tide, and the coalition group Stop Climate Chaos, of which the Campaign against Climate Change is a member.
