WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Your gift matters: Climate change grows clearer each year, yet global fossil-fuel demand stays strong. Policy and advocacy are struggling and can’t succeed on their own. That is why together, we’re transforming industries to radically reduce carbon emissions and helping nations to develop sustainably.
Current opportunities: When markets lead, change happens at massive scale, and climate-friendly policies and politics follow. That’s why we are confident that our ambitious work in four key global sectors is the most powerful and rapid path to the future we want. Learn More
What we’ve accomplished together: This year, we celebrate our 35th anniversary—a milestone made possible thanks to our donors. Over more than three decades, we have helped markets take advantage of breakthrough energy innovations. Learn More
