Climate & Energy
Energy is essential to the human experience. Energy powers transportation, provides heat, brings light and drives the machinery that fuels the global economy. Worldwide reliance on fossil fuels also incurs significant political, economic, environmental and development costs. Our Climate & Energy Team works with the UN to help transition the world toward a safe, cleaner, more equitable and climate-friendly energy future.
Our climate & energy priorities include:
Tackling the Global Climate Challenge
The Copenhagen climate change negotiations provide a new basis for countries to collectively tackle climate change. We are working with the UN Secretary-General and his Climate Team, government, business, and non-profit leaders to carry forward the progress made in Copenhagen.
Improving Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is the cheapest, fastest, and smartest strategy available for saving money and resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions around the world. We help policymakers and negotiators put efficiency first as they work towards a climate agreement.
Deploying Clean Energy Technologies
Clean energy technologies are needed around the world to stem climate change, improve lives and power development. We work with the UN to support clean energy enterprises and disseminate clean, affordable, renewable energy sources. The answer to both of these challenges lies in the development of clean, renewable energy.
