Our Approach

The next five years will prove decisive for the world’s climate.  It’s a short window of opportunity in which we need nothing less than a revolution: the world must begin to halt the rise in greenhouse gas emissions and move towards new ways of generating and using energy.

Revolution means change.  We understand that change, whether economic, organisational or personal, is always a challenge.  We know it can only happen with a clear vision of the future, a sound understanding of the first steps to take and the inspiration to take them.  That’s why our work programs are 100% focused on building this foundation with key players in the global economy – major businesses and national, state and city governments - to create new leaders and stronger action.

Our approach is driven by three key values:

COLLABORATION: Wherever appropriate, The Climate Group works through strategic partnerships.  We strive to respect and acknowledge our partners’ contributions.

RESPONSIVENESS: The urgency of the need for action on climate change underpins our activities. We strive to be dynamic, responsive and focused on real, measurable results.

INDEPENDENCE: That our work is independent and politically neutral is essential to our success.  We will strive to remain free of influence from any person, group, organisation, institution, supporter or sector of society.
