Our Mission

The Climate Group’s mission is to put the world on track for a low carbon economy by rapidly expanding the uptake of best practice on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

Our work will be driven by the vision of a world where reducing greenhouse gas emissions is widely regarded as the norm, and specifically where:

• Aggressive medium and long-term targets for greenhouse gas reductions are adopted across the majority of the world’s 20 highest-emitting economies and in the majority of Fortune 500 companies

• Carbon reduction strategies are in place in a critical mass of Fortune 500 companies and governments necessary to ensure future progress

• ‘Smart’ regulation for driving renewables and energy efficiency is well-understood and widely adopted

• Investment in sustainable energy and energy efficiency has shifted from niche to mainstream activity

• Climate change is a top five election and consumer issue for at least 20% of voters and consumers in the world’s 20 highest-emitting economies

• Experts believe we are on track to arresting the increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentrations at reasonable levels (450-550 ppm)
