Creating the conditions for positive change.
Our approach
We work to create the conditions for positive change in high-emitting sectors that directly impact people’s lives.
We believe change happens through connection, iteration and shared insight. Progress emerges not from one, but from many organisations learning together and adapting quickly to the world around us.
We act systemically and seek to partner with local leaders wherever we work. That means understanding all aspects of a challenge to design lasting solutions, while learning from and supporting local leadership.
How we seek to drive impact
We provide funding to organisations
that drive impact by:
Ensuring the transition to low-emission economies gets the funding it needs by incentivising new grantmaking flows, public financing and impact investment.
Supporting the development of competitive low-emission businesses and sectors by increasing access to markets, providing value-chain support, and delivering user-centric solutions.
Supporting partners to design and monitor policies and regulations that enable an equitable, low emission transition, building institutional capacity, and setting standards.
Strengthening truth, combatting disinformation and building trust.
Supporting entities that bring together knowledge, narratives, action and resources, to create greater efficiency and lasting impact.
