The next five to ten 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.
Proactive companies, states and cities around the world are demonstrating that cuts in greenhouse gases required to stop climate change can be achieved whilst growing the bottom line.
The Climate Group Leadership Coalition of major regional governments and companies - including one of our founding members Allianz - has committed at the highest level to leadership on the issue. We work with members of this coalition to advance global efforts on climate change mitigation.
Using the work of these leaders, as a catalyst, The Climate Group works to accelerate international action on climate change with a new, strong focus on practical solutions. We promote the development and sharing of expertise on how business and government can lead the way towards a low carbon economy whilst boosting profitability and competitiveness.
