Promoting Global Climate Leadership
Advancing leadership in every government and sector.
Leadership Matters
Global climate efforts are at a crossroads.
Ten years after the Paris Agreement, emissions are still rising. Countries are backtracking on climate commitments, and the US administration has flipped from clean energy advocate to fossil fuel evangelist.
One fact is clear: The world needs a new way forward on climate – and the leaders to make it happen.
We’re here to challenge our leaders to challenge the status quo – and new leaders to step up. To think big and act boldly in every sector and government. To innovate with ambitious policies that bring cheap clean energy to billions and a livable future within reach.
Join us.
Our Goals
Ambitious COP summit outcomes.
Governments make and deliver on ambitious pledges.
A COP process that drives climate action.Five Goals for Climate Leaders
Climate leadership isn’t about making promises. It’s about delivering on them.
It’s about confronting the fossil fuel interests holding back progress for the planet and getting cheap clean energy to people everywhere. It’s about going first and opening doors to new possibilities for the planet.
We’re looking for real leadership in five areas critical to advancing energy transition and stopping warming.
A Timeline for Fossil Fuel Transition
Show More ->At COP 28, nations agreed to transition away from fossil fuels. The next step is a process, timeline, and roadmap that spurs domestic action and global investment in equitable low-carbon growth.
Ambitious Climate Action Plans
Show More ->The Paris Agreement offers a path to a livable future. Countries – especially wealthy G20 economies – must commit to climate action plans and policies that slash emissions with the speed and scale to get there.
A Clear Plan for $1.3 Trillion Climate Finance Goal
Show More ->World leaders set a target of securing $1.3 trillion in climate finance by 2035. Adopting a fair and realistic plan to reach this goal must be a core focus of COP 30.
A COP Presidency Committed to Climate Action
Show More ->The COP president must lead by example, inspiring the international community to act and galvanizing low-carbon energy policy and investment worldwide.
Ending Fossil Fuel Obstruction
Show More ->Petrostates and industry actors now use the COP process to derail talks and slow energy transition. It’s time to limit industry influence and eliminate conflicts of interest so COP works to protect the planet – not the industry.
Calling for Climate Leadership from COP Presidents
We’re calling on current and future COP leaders to commit to a Climate Leadership Pledge that will safeguard and strengthen the COP to equip it to effectively confront the climate challenge and deliver ambitious climate action and accountability.
