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:
Securing A Global Climate Agreement
The world needs a new, more effective, and far-reaching agreement to confront climate change. We are working with the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Team, government, business, and non-profit leaders to facilitate discussion and make progress toward a strong new climate deal.
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.
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.
