The Climate Group

The Climate Group is an international nonprofit organization founded in 2003, dedicated to driving climate action and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. With offices in major cities worldwide, including London, New York, and New Delhi, the organization collaborates with over 500 multinational businesses and 183 state and regional governments through initiatives like the Under2 Coalition. The Climate Group focuses on key sectors with high emissions, including energy, transport, heavy industry, and food. They aim to accelerate climate action by convincing organizations to make commitments, facilitating collective action, and sharing successful strategies to inspire further participation. Their major programs include Climate Week NYC, the 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition, and various initiatives targeting specific industries like EV100 for zero-emission transport and RE100 for 100% renewable power. The organization emphasizes the urgency of reducing global emissions by half by 2030 to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, positioning the 2020s as the critical "Climate Decade." They rely on philanthropic support and partnerships with businesses and governments to fund their initiatives and drive systemic change.
