The group is funded by the Centre for Climate Repair.[4]

Its goal is to "provide the global public with regular analysis about efforts to tackle the global heating and biodiversity crises".[5]

CCAG's launch statement and first report state that the Earth may have already passed several dangerous tipping points, including melting ice sheets, the slowdown of Atlantic circulation and the dieback of the Amazon rainforest, which highlight the need for speed.[6]

Members

Members of the CCAG are scientists from multiple disciplines that are all advocates for the environment. The group was formed so that every continent (besides Antarctica) was represented. All members volunteer their time to the group.[4] Members include:
