Creating competitive and resilient economies

The world needs thriving economies where climate decisions are smart business decisions. But our current political and economic systems don’t always do enough to reward and reinforce action.

With the right conditions, we believe that business can be the engine that powers sustainable economic growth and shared prosperity.

Making climate action smart business action

We support decision makers across the real economy to advance the clean energy transition by convening and aligning the ecosystem around action and advocacy that meets the moment we’re in.

All of our work involves deep collaboration with partners. This includes mobilizing philanthropic capital through our grants program, to scale ambitious initiatives and deepen sector-specific innovation and domestic policy advocacy.
